He is hugely disrespectful to soriano in that interview.
A dignified man would have acknowledged his failings and been humble and philosophical about the situation-even if he didn't mean it. He's probably not helping his cause finding another job, but he's never been bright enough to think through the implications of his public outbursts.
Also you allude to him being thick/simple when he has had an extremely successful career in his chosen field, going from a great footballer who won many an honour, into management where he's replicated his success?
Just leave it be and look forward to the future - your need to tell us all how shit he is/was is not necessary, you've got your wish (although it took a little longer than you anticipated, you know with us winning silverware and that..) he's gone. Lets just enjoy the coming season and see what it brings.
Dave is an intellectual giant, don't you know? The country doesn't know what it's missing. If he didn't spend all his time on here he could have been a contender.

JCL? That'll be you then because I know Blue Heaven is no JCL to the MCFC cause.
When he goes to the etihaad and watches his FIRST ever match he can be entitled to have a pop.

Yeah, and you were also among the HUNDREDS of others here, inner and outer, who were slagging off City fans for their support/non-support of Bobby. You're a blithering hypocrite, and in your way, just as clueless as Mancini.
NipHolmes said:Just read the lot, what a difference a few months makes in regards to the stance on Mancini now.
Anyway, couple of noters.
Mancini is quoted as saying he does not see Ferran and Txiki as above him.
Mancini is called a champion by Soriano.
Mancini can work with these people, football people.
Sorry folks but the shit lies at the door of Mancini in all of this. Mancini thought he won the war when Marwood was deployed in another role and then entered two guys who have helped overhaul imo the best club in world football.
Mancini knew the problems but didn't fix them, thing is he was the problem and we fixed it by moving him on. Simple as that.

The same could be said of any divisive subject on Bluemoon mate. Dzeko, same people. Hughes, same people. Balo, same people. Thaksin, same people. And on and on. If it weren't this forum wouldn't be half as popular!
