Not meant to be antagonistic, as I'm also losing faith with the current incumbent, but obviously there has to be a viable candidate to replace him, and there doesn't seem to be an abundance of them out there.
Sacking Mancini for the sake of it wouldn't make sense, so who do people think would a) be available and b) improve the team sufficiently?
Carlo Ancelloti?
The "safe" choice is probably Hiddink but I'm not as sold on him as some others. Look at his recent record, it isn't outstanding. He couldn't even take Russia to the World Cup.
The "high risk" choice is Villas Boas who at worst would have us playing better football, he is tactically astute and learned from Mourinho. You run the risk of him not delivering at the level he'd be stepping on to though and also the possibility of our highly paid egos not believing in a 33-year-old manager.
Doubt Guardiola will be available until 2012/2013 so unless we take a gamble on someone like Villa Boas, maybe it would be better to stick with Mancini.

I honestly think someone like Owen Coyle would improve this team. He did a fantastic job with Burnley, is doing great with Bolton, and has a good eye for young players, nuturing Sturridge and Wilshere. That is what City needs to be built around in my opinion, hungry, young players, keen to prove something. Not guys who are going to be here for one last big pay cheque. He plays positive football, knows whats required in England, and commands respect.
There are plenty of options, that don't include Mourinho. Villas-Boas, Hiddink, Tuchel, Emery, are all possibilities.

Ancelotti is a feasible candidate, but he's not had a great season either.
True about Ancelotti this season but last season (before Abramovich starting sticking his oar in) he won the double. Also, after tonight he is almost certainly gone from Chelsea.

Yea, not guys who are going to be here for the pay cheque, unlike most football managers on the managerial merry-go-round! Get real. Mancini is looking 5, 10 years ahead to build something, and he'll learn the ways of the English Prem, given time. You have to believe he has the intelligence.
The only foolish thing to do would be to de-stabilise the team and get a new man in. It would set us back years in our overall development.
