Well said? It's the most inarticulate and illogical post on the thread.
stands as one of the most ill-informed, baseless pieces of toilet I've ever had the misfortune to read.
But I guess anyone who doesn't agree with you DD must be wrong and full of shit eh?
I'm not looking for praise for my comments as most do on here but really I was hoping to help some fellow blues not fall down the hole of delusion thinking that we're the best team in the world with a shit manager, we're like a poor mans Real Madrid sacking managers when we don't reach our targets after a year or 2, its as if though a voice in some peoples heads go "we've not won a trophy this season or qualified for a competition we've never been apart of HANG THE MANAGER, BURN (enter scapegoat players name here)"
Yes Mancini spent a lot but that's inevitable, he's at a club with a lot of funds but no successful background in the past 35 years, a club that had average players and no signs of any stability, he's had to spend big money on players as he couldn't work what was given to him and it wasn't about them being Hughes players just the fact he thought most of them weren't cut up to his style of play.
People go on about managers like Ferguson or Wenger saying you don't get managers like them anymore well that's simply because club owners don't provide the backing up and time these 2 got (bare in mind these clubs were already successful before they were managers at United and Arsenal), look at Wenger built a team for 15+ years and has won nothing in th past 6 years yet Arsenal still stick with him.
