It assumes that you HAVE to have the answer to who replaces Mancini in order for your opinion on him being removed to be "valid". That's simply not the case, you can see someone isnt right for the role without knowing who would be right.
I agree with that.
As I posted earlier, if the decision-makers at the club do decide to wield the axe, they might decide to hand pick the man they see as a long-term replacement and get him at all costs, evn if it's mid-season.
If they do, that's a hell of a lot of working, successful,managers to consider.
I certainly don't want him sacked either but agree with the points above. If the owners decide he's not good wnough then he wuld have to be sacked and replaced. Anyway, i can't see our owners running out of patience and what is quite obvioulsy a work in progress. We are yet to click this season apart from two excellent performances against l'poo and Chelsea.
As for no manager being available, this makes me laugh. IF the owners were to weild the axe, here's just a few top managers that would be interested:
Van Gaal
Klinnsman
Joachim Lowe
Hitzfeld
Del Bosque
All names that could be considered that City could chase up.
