Mancini out? (merged)

[bluemc1]

If Mancini left to be replaced by Mourinho, I'm absolutely certain that Jose would have the vast majority of City supporters eating out of his hand in short order.

fully agree, look at the teams who have won or been in champions league finals over say the last 5 years, take your pick of all the players who played in those games and you will here Ronaldo, Rooney, Messi, Xavi, Sweinstieger, Lahm.................. who would you take from the Inter team ? that man knows football and how to get the best out of his players,

End of the day, no matter who you want to replace Mancini, apart from Mouriniho (who most wouldn't want)

Laughable comment. Half a dozen loudmouths on this forum do represent "most".

The overwhelming majority of City fans, if Mancini went, would love Mourinho in charge and would have him as their number one choice.

I will vouch for this. I dont want to see Mancini go and if he did my number one choice would be Mourinho.

I have always been a massive fan of his but I do have a couple of problems with him at the moment and neither have been discussed at length here. Its pretty much common knowledge now that he is leaving Madrid. Why then has he not dealt with the poison in the Madrid dressing room that is Casillas and Ramos and possibly Alonso as well in a more firm manner. Surely with nothing to lose being so far behind Barca he could have laid down his marker and bombed them to the stiffs.
My second concern is that I wouldn't put it past United to see Jose at City and then after a Season move Ferguson upstairs and then entice him across Manchester to disrupt our development. People might say this is far fetched but its crossed my mind more than once, especially when the "special one" haters get going and say "with Mourinho it is "all about him".

Mancini needs to stay because I want to see something at my Team that I haven't seen in 46 years of being a supporter. Stability and steady progess. We dont have to conquer the World overnight. This is usually the time when those calling for that get accused of having a "small mentality" but it is just so valid given the way the game is going now with FFP and the position of our rivals. United and Arsenal and Chelsea will all change Managers and leadership very shortly. Let their Clubs face the disruption and the uncertainty not us.

Mancini is a Manager who delivers. It shows a complete lack of understanding and knowledge of the wider picture when names suddenly appear on here and gain momentum - the last few days it has been Laudrup,Pelligrini,Biesla,Moyes and Simeone. Just compare the records of those mentioned with our current Manager.

It also shows a complete lack of respect for what he has achieved and Football knowledge when Mancini's detractors speak of him as being so far behind Mourinho,Wenger,Kloop,Pep etc as if he is some sort of lucky Steve Bruce. He may not be the best but he certainly deserves a seat at their Table and his record shows that.

Mancini has won 9 Trophies with 4 different sides in 12 Seasons. He still isn't even 50 !! He buys well, he fights, unlike some on here I believe him to be tactically sound, he improves players with his methods. If his single mindedness and aloofness and stubborness and capacity to lay the blame at the Door of others are seen as faults - well then Mourinho and Ferguson and Wenger share them as well.

I'm sure you're right & we'd probably have a great season, possibly two, whilst also becoming the cheatiest most hated club in the country, before he finally made a complete twat out of himself & ended up sacked.

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Well imo, if Mancini went, he'd be behind the likes of Klopp, Guardiola, Simeone with most of the fans.

If Mancini went i'll back whoever comes in and trust the current board to make the right decision for the club...

I doubt the majority of city fans know who Simeone is.

Maybe but you can't argue against the job he's done over there plus he'd fit in nicely with our Argie contingent :0)

Thats true the more Argentinians the better!

I can see through his bullshit and I think he's losing his "aura" (or whatever it is English fans and the English media fall for) and has started talking bollocks recently.

Nothing he could say would have me "eating out of his hand". Press conferences are all a load of bullshit anyway, people give very little away in them. I barely pay attention to anyone's.

It's been a pleasure Bobby - good luck in your next job...

I'm sure that you have the nose of a collie when it comes to sniffing out bovine excrement. I was referring to rather more than press conferences; shame your faculties didn't divine that.

I think our half time entertainment for the Chelsea game should definitely include Mancini in a mask jumping up and down on a trampoline whilst playing a guitar. I would even refrain from going down to indulge in my coffee and pie to watch - and let's face it, according to some on here he's that useless there's no point him being in the dressing room giving a talk when he could be on the pitch strutting his stuff for our amusement. :-)

Really made me laugh ;-)

I'm sure mr Mancini will tell the press afterwards that he's the best in England at jumping on trampolines. In fact he only fell off because city didn't buy him a good enough one.

Or the shuffle was good, but not good enough and that we must continue to work hard at the shuffle.....theeeeez is the Harlem shuffle!

He'll bounce back from it.

Why can't we create a performance like above anymore?

Motivation?
Sussed Out?
Everyone's got better?
We've got worse?

What's the answer?

I want my City back :-(

 

[Kazzydeyna]

250+ pages to discuss the future of our greatest manager of the last 40 years, if not ever.

It's a good job this forum is completely unrepresentative of city fans in general or else we'd look like the most disloyal bunch of fans in the history of football.

Say what you want about our neighbours but my god they know how to support their team.

This thread is embarrassing.

 

[salford blue too]

i love bobby but he messed up in the summer with 3 at the backthis confused the defence in the first half of the season. playing no wingers the team at the top have 5 and play them sinclair might not be the best but he is better than leeds .my view is if he even mentions rvp or 3 at the back sack him and i dont care if its laudrup or mourinho

Or he'll do a good job of it and keep the majority of the fans happy, though not too happy where we can't see areas that need working on. (I'm fucking lost now, no more trampoline talk! Ha Ha!)

Dave i've mentioned this before, i go in a minibus everyweek with the same 8 guys, now while i know we're not talking for everyone, not 1, not 1 of us wants him. In fact none of us want Mancini replacing..

Now while that may not sit nicely with your view of the situation, it shows that it isn't the overwhelming majority who do want him.

Mate,i think hearing his name getting sang to the rafters every match kinda kills dave theory.

I don't think it's that black and white. A lot of blues who I go to the games with do like Mancini, would be happy if he was here in August and for years to come, and sing his name (me included). However, the same people (me included again) would love to see Mourinho in charge of our great club, he would take us to the next level, no doubt about it in my mind.
