Mancini out? (merged)

Re: Mancini out?

Thank fuck he isn't nine points behind in a title race.

Thanks fuck he's still in the CL.

Thank fuck his players actually like him.

Thank fuck he's actually a coach capable of getting the best out of his players.

You went down with the Balotelli ship and you'll go down with the Mancini one. None so blind as those who can't see a limited football coach.

Don't worry Billy he'll fix it, as he keeps telling us

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-know-the-problem-says-manchester-799719" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ter-799719</a>

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admitted Joe Hart had saved his side in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Borussia Dortmund - and said the Blues need to fight harder for success against Europe's best.

Marco Reus scored for the visitors after a slack pass from Jack Rodwell before substitute Mario Balotelli's late penalty levelled the score. Blues keeper Hart made a string of world class saves throughout the game.

"I think that Joe saved us. He did very, very well," Mancini said.

"Today we deserved to conceded three or four goals. We didn't play well.

"We didn't play well because Borussia Dortmund played better than us.

"They probably at this moment are a better team than us. If we want to play in the Champions League we have to play better than tonight.

"We have to run and fight. It's not enough to just pass. Champions League is another situation - different from the championship.

"We have to run and fight. It's not enough to just have quality."

Mancini admitted his frustration as City remained without a clean sheet this season, but the Italian revealed he had identified the reason for his side's poor defensive performance tonight as they were over-run by Dortmund's fleet-footed young stars.

"We did a lot of mistakes. It was very strange for us," he said.

"I know the problem and I will resolve very quickly this problem."

Asked what the problem was, he added: "It is my problem. It is my job. I understand the problem and I will resolve (it) very quickly."

City's penalty lifeline came after Dortmund defender Neven Subotic saw Sergio Aguero kick the ball on to his hand at close quarters, a decision Mancini agreed could have gone either way.

"He touched the ball with his hand. He was unlucky," he said.

"It could be maybe not, but I'm happy with the penalty.

"I think in the end this point could be important."

The problem is YOU Mancini, YOU. You failed in Europe at Inter and you've failed here, our football resembles 10/11 rather than 11/12. You're taking our team back.

You 'knew the problem' yet still haven't resolved it. The championship is supposedly different? The same problems exist there, even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Had enough, GO!

Re: Mancini out?

Jurgen Klopp for me.

Thank fuck he isn't nine points behind in a title race.

He gets the best out of his players and he could potentially bring Hummels with him in the summer. If Dortmund weren't so focused on doing so well in Europe they'd be much closer to Bayern, who are actually having their revenge season (haven't they only conceded 7 goals all season?) to win back the Bundesliga title anyway.

Isn't that exactly what we're up against with United having the best run ever?

Re: Mancini out?

It won't be long and Soriano will be saying it

I bet Khaldoon is happy he doesn't have to deal with most of this shit anymore.

The great thing about where we now stand as a club, it's great to know all the fans can trust the owners and the people that have been put in place, to make the right calls.

Can we? Big mistakes made in the Summer, and the new suits may be well qualified accountants who were very lucky to be at Barcelona at the right time.

I think I am coming round to your way of thinking, but I don't share your confidence about the future. We are in a vulnerable position. The academy if 18 months off. The new stadium is not going to be full if fans don't have a winning team, and a new manager wont have the funds Mancini and Hughes had. At the same time I think Mancini has had his time.

The future's very bright indeed in regards the campus, which makes having the right man in charge even more important

Went down with the ship? Sounds like a manchester city player he liked and believed in was sold. It's not going down with the ship. This attitude confuses me when people suggest fans support factions within a club rather than the club itself.

Well, no, not exactly.

Dortmund won the title in 2011 and defended it in 2012.
They're still in the Champions' League.
They've got less money.
Klopp has much less to work with than Mancini and is achieving better results.

Re: Mancini out?

Mancini is a good manager, a likeable guy who we should remember fondly if is to be sacked. He obviously deserved another season after clawing it back, but his weaknesses are there for all to see - the same problems that cost him his last job. It would be easy to give it the whole 'United's 5 minute collapse against Everton won us the title' but that would be disrespectful to Mancini's brilliant wins against them and Newcastle under such huge pressure. He got something special out of our players for the last 6 games of the season and for that we should be eternally grateful. I've (personally) never really rated him as a top manager, but he's a great guy and last night it was sad to see him looking so broken on the touchline. The players have seemingly given up on his one dimensional tactics and poor man-management. Should Mourinho come available, I think our owners will justifiably jump at the chance to get him.

He has worked absolute miracles at Dortmund on a small budget and actually qualified from the CL group unlike Mancini and like LoveCity has said previously on this thread he fits perfectly with visions from the owners and the idea of of promoting youth with new academy campus being built at Dortmund he watches the youth side on a regular basis.

Personally my first choice would be Mouriho as he would guarantee trophies but if he isn't attainable then Klopp is a close second.

You want to take your blue tinted glasses off and have a look at MCFC and English football from the outside.

Dortmund play in front of 80k and are 2nd in their League. We play in front of 47k and are 2nd in the League to a club who are going to dominate football for the forseeable future.

I am not dead set against changing manager but before you actively wish it and hope for it, bear in mind that it wont be easy getting the big name you wish for and as Real Madrid have found it guarantees nothing.

I hope Mancini re-captures the belief of his players and City have a great finish to the season at Wembley but that's another pipe-dream

Dortmund are on 39 points from 21 games. That's less than 2 points per game, which is worse than Mancini. That excuse doesn't wash.

They were not Ajax's whores in CL like City did.
