I think the progress he's made with the club in his first two seasons have earned him the right to be given another chance next season. This is the first season he's been in charge where the club haven't progressed. One season like this might not be such an issue in the long term (United have the odd bad season here and there), providing the board and the manager can learn from it and come back stronger next season.
If I asked you what on earth Mancini had to do to be sacked, what would it be?
If I asked:
1.) Drop out of Europe (for the second year running) completely in the bottom of our group and not win a single match (even against Ajax)?
2.) Be out of league contention and in a terrible run of form which could possibly see us out of the CL all together next season?
3.) Have #2 above happen in early FUCKING FEBRUARY???
4.) Drop out of the League Cup in the first match against an abysmal Aston Villa relegation candidate?
5.) Making tactical decisions that led DIRECTLY to #1-#4 occuring IN THE SAME SEASON???
The clock is ticking with FFP, and Aguero's goal had one undesirable consequence: Mancini got a new contract.
Hell, him threatening to quit when PSG were trying to sign Balotelli for 40M is reason enough to sack the man. That's 20M he's directly lost us already this season, when the reigns of FFP are tightening. He's been a disaster since May 13th.
