Because it's a forum for opinions and debate.

Post yours,you obviously feel passionately about the topic.

Dont patronise me pls

Treads in which Mancini's detractors are criticised get locked but then these sort of threads are allowed to continue. Double standards.

I wasn't aware i was.However,your post was a blinkered statement suggesting your train of thought was the 'right' one.

This is why 16 months is not a long enough period of time to start calling for the managers head. Fuck me, some morons were at it after 6 months! Why don't all you clowns give him his 3 year contract, like Khaldoon will, and judge him towards the end of that?! Then we can say if we'd like to extend that contract after seeing what he's achieved in that time. It has got to be the most pathetic thing going seeing them dismal shit heads creaming themselves as they think they are proving their know-nothing opinions are correct after a City defeat or poor performance! Do you know what?we're gonna have 6 or 7 shite performances next season like our 10 this season, but coming on here like you're some messiah of football knowledge and power is still gonna make you's look like cunts when you start yet another dull and sad "Mancini OUT!" thread!

You sound like you have serious mental issues my friend. Try <a class="postlink" href="http://www.samaritans.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.samaritans.org</a>

Talking about "know-nothing" opinions its safe to say from that little rant that you could write what you know about football on the back of a postage stamp and still have plenty of space left over for you to doodle.

horse shit, but keep posting is good to get it off you're chest.

I wasn't insulting and I was intending to insult. I like bluemoon the way it is now and long may it continue.

That's such a weird thing to say. You like Bluemoon after we've had a good victory...well, so do the rest of us. Now ask yourself, if it's been so unlike this for so long, why has that been the case? I bet you a million pounds it has nothing to do with agendas, or people being unfair on Mancini. It's been because results and performances have struggled to get beyond 'average' for most of the season...

I know there's groundswell of opinion that Mancini needs time, and that next season we'll see a better more progressive team. I hope so, but I'm not convinced. Roberto hasn't sacrificed his principles once this season - and I doubt that he intends to next season either. The question mark will hang over whether those principles can win him a league in this country until such time as he does...nature of the beast at this level I'm afraid...

Are these so called 'principles' borne out of the fact that simply he still doesn't quite have the squad and personnell that he wants ?

I think the idea that Mancini is negative is rubbish he is just applying the tactics that suit the team in terms of where we are now.

Without knowing the guy personally or having worked with him at close quarters (like pretty much every poster on bluemoon) I would think that once he has the right personnell then he will certainly not play negatively against the likes of Chelsea or Arsenal away.

I think that was proven by the way we played against the rags when only the win would do. Different tactics for different games and dependant on the players at his disposal.

This idea that he will be negative come what may is a complete misnomer in my humble opinion.
 
Reading this thread reminds me why I don't come on here much any more, all comments are predictable as are the human traits of insulting one another. The players and Mancini have fallen short at times this season, do you really think that there were players and a manager that we could have signed that would have been 100% brilliant 100% of the time!
 
He'll go from Sod to God if he wins us the FA cup and after knocking United out, in the semi-final, he's halfway there already with most fans. Sadly we don't know what the board will decide to do, "or will it be enough for them".. It is for me and well worth giving him the time, he's young enough to learn and from what I hear, he's very good in training and coaching.
 
The great sheikh will have a difficult choice if we get the cup but fail to get chumps league. Lose the cup, get champs league Mancini stays. Get both he surely stays, "just" win the cup.....who knows! He'll be an instant fans hero but will have missed his target for the season.....

I think anything but top 4 and he is a goner even if we win the FA Cup. As much as we all crave the end of the 35 year wait a top 4 finish was the requirement for the season. Winning the FA Cup would be great for the fans but I expect for the powers that be this season would be seen as nothing but a bonus. We have not spent hundreds of millions to win a cup that in recent times Pompey have won and the likes of Millwall have come close to winning.

I think only top 4 and the FA Cup makes him untouchable.

Top 4 on its own would leave it hanging in the balance.
 
I feel a bit sorry for Mancini.

When he was in Italy he won 9 trophies in his 8 seasons .. but everyone told him he was just lucky and that but for the scandal hitting Juventus, etc, he would have won nothing. Apparently, all 9 trophies were "lucky".

Then he moved to City, shored-up one of the leakiest defences around, losing very few games thereafter, reached a Cup final in his first full season, and we're in the Champions League spot that he was asked to reach ... despite this everyone (even half his own fans) think he's rubbish. Match of the Day (and many other media outlets / papers / radio stations) have literally not had one single good word to say about him in the entire season.

Meanwhile, everyone tells him he is the most boring and negative manager ever, while Harry Redknapp is an attacking genius ... week after week he is told that ... even though when he looks at the league table, he sees that City have actually out-scored Spurs across the whole season .. and our cup-run has included 2-2, 4-2, 5-0, 3-0, etc ... but no-one wants to know that; Mancini is boring and Harry is exciting, and Spurs "deserve" to finish above City - that's all anyone believes.

I think Mancini must sometimes look at his track record ... and compare it with the way people treat him / are always criticising him ... and wonder what he's doing so wrong ?

Perhaps we City fans should get behind him and make him feel wanted for once.

Just a thought !

I don't think Roberto Mancini is the man for this club.

But right now all I care about is the fact that he got it right on Saturday. I'm going to bask in that, thanks very much, don't need our own fans bringing me down.

Who was your Last Favourite Manchester City Manager?


jesus christ

he did miracles

Thats what I have been saying for months and now one single game may have changed my attitude towards him. Seems very reactionary I know but the feeling that I got at the final whistle yesterday is like nothing I have ever felt before as a City fan. Tears rolling down my face because of the joy of the moment is something completely new to me where City are concerned, plenty have been shed over the past 30 years because they have fucked us over! Mancini has done that for me, never thought he would, in that few minutes after the final whistle the turgid, boring crap served up over the past few months was all forgotton. Has really got me questioning whether he can bring more moments like that? I know if we were to finish 5th and lose the final my attitude will change again but I have been saying that even if we finish top 4 I would still like him to be removed of his duties.....now I am not so sure. Whatever the future holds thank you Roberto for that moment yesterday, something I will remember for a long time!

Yes,it was the best day Ive had supporting City in 50yrs - but the change in player attitudes was apparently down to Yaya & NDJ in the changing room at half time geeing everyone up - NOT Mancini.
My guess is that with that attitude all Season we'd have won this league, but something wasn't right and I cant forget the insipid, negative dross we've endured for most games..................
