Mancini out? (merged)

Re: Mancini out?

I'm not one for snap judgements but based on the evidence of this season as a whole there is a nagging question........has he taken us as far as he is able? He gets another season to answer the question in my book but my confidence is being shaken.

I don't dismiss that argument, but here's my problem with it. Mourinho is available now, and won't be next year. By then, he will undoubtedly have turned up at a direct rival so that door will be forever closed. We could find ourselves in the position of having a dead duck manager by next Christmas, and the outstanding candidate to replace him actually working against us, making the task of his eventual successor even more difficult. Not a smart move imo.

very good point

Re: was I the only one..

Yeah, you probably were.

This isn't Chelsea, and unless you're a new City fan, it won't be the first "Typical city" game you've ever witnessed.

I remember the misery of the later Keegan years like it was yesterday. Every day, going onto the BBC sport website, that same photo of Kevin kind of clapping his hands behind his head, no new news.

Re: Mancini out?

Bollocks, and you know it!

Mancini wanted Rodwell for 18 months and twice made direct enquiries.

Sinclair was talking to Mancini for three weeks prior to his signing. Marwood carried out the board's instructions to the letter.

Maicon - his

Nastasic - his

Garcia - his.

You were in the same state of denial when Hughes was in his final days ;)

I tell you slowly - not in the mood for your bullshit today

Sinclair was vetted by mancini after the player was identified by marwood or am i wrong?

And you start this Hughes bollocks all the time, now stfu theres a good boy!

You can wriggle on the hook, split hairs all you want ;), both Rodwell and Sinclair WERE signings sanctioned by Mancini - the man with the final say, having vetted both

Scouts identify the majority of a club's targets, that's what Marwood is, a glorified scout.

So we're in agreement, Mancini's vetting of players last summer was pretty shite!

I'm not about to label him a genius for personally identifying Van Persie, De Rossi and Eden Hazard.

Now go back to counting all your fecking Mario cash!

That's a good point. When was the last time we identified a good signing at a decent price, Komps and Zab?

Fair point well made. Every aspect of the club should always be open to upgrade to get us where we want/need to be as one of the elite clubs in Europe. IF he was willing to come then I could understand the owners making that decision. One hell of a statement to the rest of the football world if they could pull it off.

37M and 25M weren't exactly bargains LOL

Re: Mancini out?

I am in the keep mancini camp but I think he will walk and I think we should go for Diego Simeone

You could be right there about him walking if he feels the players are not performing for him. Would cost him some money though....

It was decent price that was quoted. So in my book they helped us win the league, therefore decent price
