Mancini should recieve more credit.

Nothing really to argue about, our goal was to win league, we won the league under Mancini, he achieved his goal and should be congratulated by City fans for a job well done.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the job he did either isn't a City fan, or is a WUM looking for attention, or both.

No there isnt. He won the league the highest accolade possible. A feat he also achieved in Italy three years on the bounce. At the moment it would be ridiculous to criticse him like some have.
 
Maybe this was already posted. A Custis 'exclusive' which is just speculation.

Mancini’s Italian job

Exclusive
By NEIL CUSTIS
Published: 06th June 2012
MANCHESTER CITY could face a battle to hold on to Roberto Mancini with Italy ready to come calling.


The Azzurri national boss Cesare Prandelli is under massive pressure and a poor Euro 2012 would almost certainly see him sacked.

And Mancini, 47, is top of the Italian FA’s list of candidates to replace him after landing the Premier League title.

The City chief has just one year left on his Etihad contract. Discussions over a new deal have taken place but he has still not signed.

Mancini is now on a family holiday in Sardinia where he will stay until pre-season training gets under way next month.

The Italian has said he would like to coach his country one day, though he was not expecting the chance to come this early.

City will be desperate for him to put pen to paper on a four-year deal which will hoist his wages from £3.5million a year to £5.5m.

That would make him the highest-paid Prem manager, alongside Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson.

The former Inter Milan manager’s stock could not be higher now after the work he has done in 2½ years at City.

In his first full season he won the club their first trophy in 35 years with the FA Cup. Then last term he delivered City’s first title in 44 years.

I remember Mancini hinting that Italy is the only position for which he would leave City. Anyone else remember a press conference like that?

Well, as they say, if you can't win an argument, turn to abuse. You started with that and you've ended with it.
For the sake of your mental health I'd suggest that you stop trying to prove the unprovable

Good luck.
I'd like to say the same about you, but to have a mental state, you must have a brain in the first place of which you are devoid!! I'd get more sense and a better argument out of a rotting carrot than from Remoh of the brain-dead!!!

Give it up fella, come on, you know it makes sense!!! Ha ha ha :-)

You poor, bewildered, wretch of a person.

I've handed you your arse, now try to use it properly, instead of as a letterbox to post your tripe on here, you clown.

Love,

Remoh

Tut Tut, language!!! Ha ha ha!! The match is won but you're still stood on the sidelines jumping about like the demented Stuart 'Psycho' Pearce used to asking for a tie-breaker!!! Lol :-)

The more you wriggle, the deeper into the doo doo you sink but yet you wriggle further as you try to grasp the simple concepts I have presented you with. Next your name Remoh will be replaced by your new user name 'Bubbles in the Poo' as your head submerges below the surface. Ha ha ha!!!

It would be funny if you were a worthy adversary, but alas you have proved anything other than. So in finality:

We registered less players than the permitted maximum. The squad that was registered included players injured (Hargreaves) & academy products, hence why we had a smaller pool of players to fall back on when injuries, suspensions and ACN struck and why Mancini wants to purge the club of certain fringe and players on loan and replace them with 2-3 world class additions thus strengthening the gene pool of the squad.

Hargreaves was unfortunately injured most of the season ala Vidic, but unlike ManUre who (pointedly or not) drew comparisons between them losing Vidic being akin to us losing Kompany, we just got on with the task in hand as a team without Kompany and allowed our superb medical staff to work their magic to limit the amount of down-time for the likes of Kompany, Lescott and others.

Management choices: It's sooooo easy for you to make this rediculous claim about management choices, but when I ask you to explain which other manager has ever made perfect choices throughout a season, you cannot reply sensibly and retort 'you're not here to talk about other manager's only Mancini'.

Good, bad or indifferent, Mancini made the better management choices throughout the season and certainly better than any other manager, hence Manchester City Football Club - Premier League Champions 2011-2012!!! As I said to you earlier fella, If you've nothing sensible to say, do yourself a favour and say nowt eh and leave our Roberto alone!!! :-)

Phew. The Internet is serious business for you I see.
Can you lot please make up your mind what the internet is about. You see, when we lose, the internet then becomes ultra serious business with The Cabal gathers in an internet version of 'intellectual football' sticky biscuit and sees who can shoot off their best criticisms of Mancini first and if anybody criticises you, you then bleat about the thought police trying to stop you having a different opinion and everyone else being happyclappers, tubthumpers et al. When we're winning, suddenly the internet is very unserious and anyone regarding you as such then becomes a target for mockery for ever taking you seriously. If sometimes you wish to have a serious debate, and sometimes you wish to have fun, I completely understand that, but it seems to exhibit this very strange correlation between our results. In which case, when we win and the internet becomes unserious again, you're just fucking cowards who can't take the flak for getting it wrong.

Well observed fellow OTIFS board member. How much flak would anyone who'd made a wrong call get anyway? Certainly none off me.

Isn't making mistakes just a part of life? Surely the trick is learning from them.

With regard to this, you're last few words explain the situation completely. They got it wrong, it's as simple as that.

Wait. Hang on. You're saying good results equal a happy forum, and bad results equal an unhappy one. Who'd have thunk it...

Haven't quite sussed out how that makes anyone a fucking coward, but then I'm not Mr Logic and this type of analysis is way above my pay grade...

Which board are you talking about, we're on so many together these days. I suspect you're talking about our Mancini wigs operation in which you are our chief Proficient Investor in Mancini Periwigs.

The Cabal get flak from The Piranhas because The Cabal insist they are intellectually superior in footballing matters and more informed in terms of ITK knowledge, and yet these don't seem to coalesce into more accurate predictions. In fact, I'd have trouble recalling anyone who's made worse predictions.

I'd suggest The Cabal haven't learnt from theirs. Not an ounce of humility from constantly being proved wrong.<br /><br />-- Thu Jun 07, 2012 8:55 am --<br /><br />

You know perfectly well what I'm saying.

I'm going to add "fucking coward with not an ounce of humility" to the ever growing list which already includes sad ****, dick, dickhead, balding with shit hair, laughing stock, tedious, rag, cretin, snide, spineless little wretch, and mega pleb.

I'd address the rant about ITK/predictions but sadly I don't live in 2009/2010.
