I'll admit I was one. I've done a complete about turn in my opinion of him now because he's done a complete about turn in how we play. I have also completely changed my opinion on Balotelli. I am a very fickle, short-sighted, impatient and unreasonable man. Mancini has shown himself to be the perfect manager to run our club. I, however, couldn't be trusted to run a bath.Halfpenny said:Mancini outers? Do they even exist anymore?
Same here. At this stage last season, i was underwhelmed with the slow pace of play we were adopting and the negative approach to some games; the Brum and Vermin back to back (IIRC) games immediately spring to mind. And I posted on here that we did have the players, if only RM would let them off the leash. Well; he has done so now and has also bought brilliantly to strengthen the squad. I was wrong about RM and I unreservedly apologise to him (I'm sure he comes on here every now and again!). Keep up the good work Bob!anymore than 2sheiks said:I'll admit I was one.

Swales would have hated every minute of this, he was without question one of the most egocentric men ever to role the role of chairman(and with Ken Bates also being a chairman thats saying something!)at a football club in England and even worse than that high office with the FA. Never forget thst he is the jackass that not only wouldn't hire Clough for City manager a number of times, but also hired Ron Greenwood for the England job over Clough!! People will go on about Swales being a blue, rubbish Swales supported Swales and nothing else.Shadz69 said:Corky said:What about the 'Swales inners'?
Do you still want him back?
I often think of him he would have loved what's happening now although would probably be a bit jealous that it was'nt him in charge.

I would agree with England, other than it shows his major flaw which was he had to be the center of the ship with those around him working for him, if he had hired Clough for either City or England it would have shown he could put his ego aside. The England one is more shocking because of the man he hired and how hopelessly mis-matched they were.Shadz69 said:DontLookBackInAnger said:Swales would have hated every minute of this, he was without question one of the most egocentric men ever to role the role of chairman(and with Ken Bates also being a chairman thats saying something!)at a football club in England and even worse than that high office with the FA.

For me he wanted City to be at the pinnacle of English football and we can do that this year he wanted what I want and that is good enough for me.I have no interest in what he did with England and I know he made mistake's with City but I was a young lad when I met him and he was all City as far as I am concerned.
