I can't see another 8-1 debacle happening somehow.

they hate me?????
No I dow, to cap it all, SSN are trying to say that Robhinio is one of the disaffected and that I do NOT believe.
alera said:I can see a few players being unhappy as Hughes signed them and no one likes change. But thinking about it sensibly they are meant to be pros and employued by the club. It really doesnt matter who the manager is its nothing to do with them they are paid to do a job for MCFC.
Most of them have worldcup places to play for - so cant suffer a dip in form (Barry, SWP, Bridge) others were not really playing under hughes and didnt like him it would seem (Toure, Adebayor, Robinho, Petrov) spring to mind)
There will be the nuetrals (NDJ, Kompany, Richards, Ireland, rsc) The ones I can see being the most unhappy are Given, Bellamy and Tevez. They are pros personified, Given has shown immense loyalty to his clubs throughout his career even when they have treated much better national heroes worse (Bobby Robson) I think Tevez will be OK as well as Mancini is a respected coach he will fall into line.
The one we are all worried about is Bellamy, we know what he is like anythign can happen. We hope is is grown up and acts like the proffesional we all know he is and moves on.

again though Pam...we have brought this upon oursleves.....this was to be expected..the media will do this all the time...(not just to our club) and we have given them all the ammo to do this to us Im afraid

Speaking to Italian press, Mancini said, "the players have made it quite clear that they hate me." Look... there are quotation marks in what i just typed... therefore it must be true. See how easy it is?
i think this is the more likely,hes telling them it ok to have loyalty towards hughes,but its time to follow him nowCheltblue said:If its true, i think its a great read.
Once Mancini has shown the players what he has to offer i see no reason why that same loyalty will not be passed in its fullness onto him. The most successful club all boast a number of fiercely loyal players and that loyalty is usually bought on by how they perceive the manager.
Mancini shows in this report he has a full understanding of exactly what it takes to earn his players respect. Im liking him more and more.
