Absolutely Col. Do some fans think we have got trigger happy owners like Chelsea or is it just me.I think the problem with many is that they believe what they read about Mancini and listen to utter pricks like Danny Mills and take it as gospel instead of just listening and only believing what comes out of the club.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

It's always been his destiny to come but will we accommodate him, that's the big question?

I've got things crossed but I'm far from excited, I've still got this niggle!

Lots of us with the "niggle", Danamy. We've been here before.

Been athiest for 28 years but I'm not beyond praying...;-)

Jose Mourinho says he will return to England when he leaves Real Madrid - but reckons he will not get the chance to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

Mourinho, whose side face United in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League last-16 first leg, is tipped to leave the Bernabeu in the summer after a dismal Spanish title defence and amid reports he has fallen out with several key players.

The former Chelsea boss refused to clarify whether or not he would be at Real next season but confirmed his desire to be back in the Premier League.

He told reporters: "I will go back to England after Real Madrid. We will see (when that is).

"I love everything (about England). England will be my next step."

Mourinho has been linked with Manchester City and former club Chelsea but joked he would not take over from 71-year-old Ferguson.

"No," he said, when asked if he could replace the Scot. "I think we have to end our career at the same time. Him at 90 and me at 70."


He seems pretty set on managing in England again doesnt he,this is an interview from the 13th Feb.

Cant see him going back to Chelsea, although if they hadnt dirtied his ambition of winning the CL with an English club it most probably would make Chelsea favourites.

The timing is right this time for him to come to City,a club who will surpass anything Chelsea will ever do and who hasnt yet won the CL.

Mancini will always be remembered at City for what hes done but God like status awaits Mourinho if he comes to our place-if he fell in love with Chelsea then he aint seen anything yet until he sees what our fans are like.

Make it happen Txiki

Mourinho's currently facing the biggest challenge he'll probably ever face in his career.

If he doesn't win the CL this season then imo he'll never win the CL with a Spanish club, which will be a huge blot on his resume, that he failed where everyone else has in recent years at Real Madrid.

Fuck Mourinho.

Forza Mancini

How very insightful.....

Yeah very insightful supporting our most successful manager in how many years.
Your love for Mourinho comes from where???
Keep taking the pills meanwhile I will support the club and the manager until he is deemed surplus to requirements should our owners/chairman decide to change.

Brilliant.

Please show me where I have shown my apparent 'love for Mourinho', as I didn't realise I had.
And supporting our most successful manager doesn't make you insightful by the way. It makes you supportive of our manager, but you might want to check the dictionary definition of insightful.

I happen to think Mourinho is a better manager than Mancini, but would love you to show me where I have shown on this thread I 'love' him, as you accuse me of doing.

I love City. I support City like you do. I go to the games week in week out, so I don't think my support can be questioned. The problem with this whole argument is it is all about taking the moral high ground. Posters who are 'FORZA MANCINI' immedietly believe they are supporting the club better somehow just because they are completely behind the manager.

Please though, like I said, re read what posts I have made. I just think Mancini could be doing a better job this year. He is underperforming- without question.

Anyway mate, I'll keep taking the pills....for what., I'm not quite sure....didn't really understand that one.

Listen fella is was of the opinion like you about Mancini and still want him to succeed,but the way we have capitulated for the vast majority of this season i just feel its time to move on-Mourinho is clearly the better manager and lets not forget that if it wasnt for Aguero then Mancini might have already been peddled.

To many bad decisions im afraid for a club supposedly on an upward trajectory, Garcia,Rodwell and Sinclair are the final nails in the coffin for me and his man management of players like Dzeko,Nasri and Lescott just dont sit right with me.

I rather like the idea of a wounded Jose rocking up with a point to prove.

Oh yes.

Why not email the club then..Tell them your concerns etc.

Having won the league in May last year and you (and many) now want our clubs manager to take a walk because we MAY not win something this season is quite simply fucking laughable. I bet you were singing his name 8 months ago.
You are entitled to your opinion but your blind idiocy twds our current manager is somewhat strange. Why do you think the rags have been so successful? Do you think going back to chopping and changing manager every season or 2 is going to bring stability and more success. Mourinho has done fuck all at Madrid this year. He is a good manager but not what we need.

Wow
He has only started 2 games,and we won both :)

Dave-Afternoon mate,hope you are well.

Right..Me and you have totally differing opinions about this so let me put this scenario to you buddy. Mourinho rocks up.Spends x millions and wins fuck all in 2 yrs...What would you say then pal? Do we change again?

Theoretical scenarios are silly, fella, with respect.

It doesn't matter who is our manager. You look at his entire tenure, all facets, and if he is deemed to be wrong for the future you get rid. It's no more complicated than that.

I don't want Mancini replaced because we haven't won anything this year - it happens. I want Mancini replaced because I don't think he's good enough to deliver what we need in the future. And the same standards apply to any manager.

Ok- I'm intrigued to know what my blind idiocy is regading Mancini? You keep saying these things, but not sure if you can back it up with some blindly idiotic comments I have made.

Thinking supporting our manager makes you 'insightful'- thats idiotic.

My concerns about Mancini aren't that we might not win a trophy this year. It's that he has failed all year, barring a few games that can be counted on one hand, to get the most out of the team. We look a shadow of last year. Now you might say that is because teams have wised up to us- well if so, where is our plan B.

We are 12 points behind a (probably) inferior squad. Mancini is a good manager, there is no question. I like him, and am forever grateful to him for what he has done. But there is no room for standing still in football. Nor is there any room for sentiment. Whilst he is a good manager, I am not sure he is a great manager. A manager that makes players overperform.

If for the last part of the season can get our players back to playing at the best of their abilities, then brilliant. I would love a manager to stick around for a long time, for City to build a dynasty, and for one man to be behind it. I would love us to have our own Ferguson. But I am just not sure Mancini is good enough. You only have to look what Mourinho did with the same squad of players at Inter.

Mancini has been great for us, and brought us memories we will never forget, but this doesn't mean he can't be questioned.

He's been good enough the past 3 seasons so what has changed? The european scenario? With respect back mate united,Arsenal,Chelsea all would have struggled in our group this season and last season to go out with 10pts was damn fucking unlucky.

I never felt he was good enough if I'm honest. Strong, aggressive, single-minded, but not the right man for the club long-term.

Very presumptuous p.o.v you have there.

I personally just rate him as a better manager like many do.
