Mancini or Pep era?

Pep is our greatest ever manager in my opinion.

Bobby is our greatest ever signing. He changed the club forever and never stopped pushing. He wanted to win, no matter the cost or who he upset and he did it for the fans. He knew what it meant to us. Absolute fucking legend of a man.
 
Think bobby manc had the better players & he broke down all the barriers, esp with utd & their noisy neighbour sarcasm attitude towards us .
The style of play under pg & picking up trophys has been terrific, those 2 fantastic seasons were a joy to watch , but has the quality of some the prem teams gone down a notch or 2 over the last few years ?
The main thing is they have both contributed to where we are now & will be in the history of the club forever .
 
Mancini knew how to beat the rags a skill Pep doesn't seem to have acquired he lets that little Norwegian Muppet take the piss.

Mancini won 5 lost 5, Pep won 6 but lost 7 but 2 of those defeats were in cup semi finals we won on aggregate, so arguably Pep has the better record.
 
Pep. And it's not close. I did like Mancini though - and hated Pellers.
Bit unfair on Pellers in my opinion.
The 13/14 season was a great season, when we also played some really good football at times. That season
was also one of the most exciting in Premier League season in the competitions history. Going into the last month there were 4 teams still 'in the mix' for the title.
In truth we didn't build on that in the next 2 seasons though did we (14/15 in particular felt a real anti climax)
As for Mancini v Pep? Bobby Manc was undoubtedly in the right place at the right time . Mancini very much 'got us' , as people have said , he put us 'back on the map' and will forever be in most City fans hearts.
The football we have played under Pep (between 17-19 in particular )however has frequently been on another level . This compares not only to what we have seen as City fans but also arguably to anything seen in this country before (something that the majority of the mainstream press seem totally unable to accept or comprehend).
