Mancini should recieve more credit.

[Dribble]

ssshhhh, Dont let Didsbury Dave see this thread.....

We could do the quadruple consecutively for the next 20 years and Dismal and his fellow co-conspiritors would still want Mancini's head on a block. I've never been a Mancini in or outer, just a long suffering Manchester City fan, but four events made reinforced my view that Mancini was worth sticking with over the course of his contract:

1. When he first arrived at the at Manchester City and mentioned his most important task was to change the mentality of everyone at the club from typical City to that of winners. This applied to eveyone from the tea lady to the boardroom and everyone in between.

2. When he snapped at David 'Gollum' Moyes whilst we played Everton and Moyse shit himself!! THAT is the kind of passion I want our manager to have

3. When he said that he wanted to rebuild and re-shape our team from the back. He brought Hart back from Birmingham, dropped Kompany back into defence, dropped Richards and told him he wasn't going to be sold and would stay on the bench until he listened and carried out Mancini's instructions to the letter because if he did, he had the potential to be the best right-back in the world.

4. Dealing with Tevez and firmly putting him in his place.

Mancini knew all of this would take time, but at the same time the press were leading the pack calling for Mancini's sacking closely followed by Dismal and his cabal. When others were accusing Mancini of employing negative and boring Italian tactics, I and others saw the tactician playing with the hand he was dealt with.

After the FA Cup win, Mancini then started to add the creative and attacking forces that he wanted which turned us from last seasons boring boring City into this seasons great entertainers.......... Oh how this must have stuck in the Mancini haters collective craws!!!!

To all the Mancini haters out there please take this on board; 'The difficult takes time and the impossible just takes that little bit longer'............... Try and look at Mancini from an alternative viewpoint, not as a negative manager, but as a tactician. Making comments such as 'Any manager would be successful given the amount of cash Mancini has had to spend' doesn't make any of you sound like a footballing intellectuals, it makes you all sound like bitter, pedantic, bain-dead dicks.

I remember listening to a podcast and one of the guys in there said we had won the league despite Mancini!!!! Claimed Mancini fluffed all his big challenges. Unbelievable really.

but can we leave out the cabal baiting. I'm sure the cabal celebrated just as much as every other blue when sergio buried it.

Yeh, through gritted teeth!! Lol :-)

If the media repeat something often enough, it is often believed to be true, its just a pity that some of our own can't see through this and keep the faith.

Mincini should be judged on his record and not on what he had to do with the players at his disposal when he first arrived. Universal recognition would be great, but the best way to prove our point is to keep winning in style one game at a time.

Our London centric media will never give Mancini the credit he deserves,far better for them to
sympathise with poor cheeky Arry triffic manager who City are always blowing Spurs out of the water with our wages etc..it keeps them all in a job if they can get regular sound bites from twitcher from his car leaving training moaning about City etc..the media do love a popular underdog and Spurs fit the bill perfectly for them.By ignoring or paying scant attention to what Robertos doing at City they can stay in denial and only propagate their own agenda....
City fans generally know what Mancini has done here and I would say respect him fully for what he has achieved,and Roberto feels the love too I guess...

I know he has been backed within the transfer market to a considerable extent but he is still required to select the correct team and enforce the correct tactics.

I do not feel he received the recognition that he deserves for how he converted Yaya into an offensive role despite many, myself included, perceiving him as a defensive midfielder upon arrival. That has played a huge part in our success over the past two seasons and yet this has not been praised within the media as the return of Scholes would have been had the rags won the title.

He has won the FA Cup & the premier league title. What more do they want him to do? Win the Champions League at the first attempt upon our virgin voyage within the competition when normally 10 points would be enough to qualify for the knockout stages in a group involving the Champions League finalists?

Credit from who? The fans first chant is for Mancini. The media think money buys success. It gives you a chance, but as Utd found out in the 70s and 80s it guarantees nothing. I remember the revolving manager's door at Utd as one manager after another broke transfer records but failed to bring the title to Old Trafford.

He got all the recognition he deserves from the City fans when you see our reaction to the 3rd goal agin QPR. You can't buy that....

That´s not recogniton...just share joy.

 

[BluessinceHydeRoad]

Oh, really, come off it! How can anyone so dourly defensive, so Italian, who simply buys a gang of mercenaries for a club with no 'istry an' tradition to ruin football be given any credit at all just because he wins the FA Cup in his first full season and then in his second full season wins the PL title, scoring more goals and conceding fewer than anyone else?! And, let's not forget, that those from the other side of the ship canal were "joint champions", as they now point out to anyone prepared to listen! No-one should be allowed to forget the instant impact the great Sir Alex had at the theatre of dreams. That's what deserves credit.

 

[Balti]

he's now a CITY LEGEND

how much more credit does he need :-)

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Next time we lose, draw or win in a 'boring' manner, the plebs, prophets, piss cans and piss flaps will be back to slate Mancini and big up 'Mou' or some new foreign guy they've seen on a computer game or ESPN or something.

Personally I have no interest in the 'Mancini Out' squad but it was very interesting to see how their propoganda campaign heated up. The Mourinho and Tranny link was especially refreshing and stood out as the worse form of wummery going.

Like I say, no problems with those who had genuine concerns but not those who resorted to bullshit just to add a little weight to their arguement.

Do the suspects still post or have they reverted to just PM'ing each other? Didn't one have a bet for a 3 month sabatical?
