Mancini On Soriano

[goalmole]

You really haven't taken it well at all. Still, when you see what our squad is actually capable of when they're happy I'm sure the City fan in you will see the right decision was made. Maybe you'll even come to thank Ferran and Txiki ... who knows. :)

I genuinly hope you're right - but so far I'm not overly impressed by them (not just re Mancini). You have clearly nailed your colours to the mast about them - but why???? Yes "Barcelona" but surely you can see the mitigating fortunate factors there at the time - It doesn't mean it will translate here. Like I said - I live in hope - you seem to live in certainty. Don't get me wrong I admire your forthright optimism.

I agree withn you GM, I remain unconvinced by Sariano and Txiki, in fact there are are a few things about the way the club is being run at the moment that annoy me. The sight of Pellegrini being all friendly to some I.T losers on his first day at work really bothered me for some reason, I don't want a nice old man in a cardigan, I want a mercurial but volatile (and strangely sexy) football god, who tells the dull as ditchwater middle managers that our club now seems to be full of to '"stop telling me how the bloody tele in the changing room works, and get me a brew and Isco immediately"! Getting rid of Mancini will come back to bite us on the arse, mark my words.

The irony in your post is stunning. The attitude you espouse is precisely the attitude that got Mancini the sack. I think if you look around you, you will find that the best managers are those that foster co operation and unity in a club. Fwiw, i think he looks great in his cardigan.

Keep digging billy.

Says the fella who's just referred to Ferran and Txiki as those Spanish ***** ... hahaha. You're cracking me up kid!

Billy you're only making it worse for yourself but carry on if you must.

Are you going to give me a Chinese burn on the internet ? :) I think you should calm down mate and enjoy your summer. As for the snapped neck comment from a year or two ago - as I explained at the time it was a metaphor. Wind that neck in before I snap it. Seems pretty obvious to me but then I'm not an idiot.

You evil, evil man... ;-)

He has a point there, we were nothing without him.... well for 44 years at least. A bit more gratitude please!

My gratitude goes only to Sheikh Mansour and Sergio Aguero.

Apparently our history started the day Mancini walked through the door.

We were Manchester City well before him, a team I supported regardless of winning trophies. He is too dismissive of those who put in the hard yards.

Hitler was the same towards the end. When the Blitzkrieg did for Poland, it was all how great he was.And when the shit started to hit the fan, and some started to stand up to his methods, it was all the fault of his generals.

It took far too many people too long to suss Mancini out. Thankfully, it took Soriano and Cheeky less than six months.

A very poor and unecessary analogy.

I alluded to this once before but everything gets ultra emotive if you mention the war; however, if you look at a cold hard look at Hitler's leadership style (and I mean how he lead not the evil that he had done), you see can see some interesting similarities to a certain Italian gentleman. Google is your friend if it interests you.

I'm sure Roberto will afforded a warm reception when he brings Beijing United to the Etihad :)

Anyway have you set your stop watch for how long this thread lasts before it's pulled for unnecessary bickering!

And yet another JCL chimes in....

JCL? That'll be you then because I know Blue Heaven is no JCL to the MCFC cause.

You mean the same blue heaven who was slagging city fans off on certain threads for their support of Mancini.
When he goes to the etihaad and watches his FIRST ever match he can be entitled to have a pop.

Ah, so you don't believe in freedom of speech?

I'm surprised saint bob didn't express his dismay at not being considered for the Real Madrid or Man United jobs. That must baffle him as much as his dismissal from little city, who he single handedly dragged from obscurity only to be sacked for being too good.

I hope we win the champions league and title this season for soriano's sake.

Hardly I have pointed out that Tolmie has an irrational hate of Mancini and that you may be overegging the importance of Soriano.

I hardly think he's irrational given the state of how things have played out.

Irrational yes. I mean we have employed some really, and I mean really useless managers over the last 30 years. Quite how Mancini has merited the level of vitriol he has can only be explained as irrational hatred.

Alan Ball, Frank Clarke, John Benson and so. Did Tolmie et al hate these guys with quite the same passion?
