[samharris]

Someone on another site is suggesting they have got the wrong Italian and in fact it is Capello.

The person on the other site has well and truly got the wrong end of the stick, then.

I've had what by Twitter standards is a decent exchange with the guy who runs the English language wire for RIA Novosti, Moscow's leading English-language news agency. He hinted that he thinks the sports.ru story about Mancini came from a well placed source, but is nevertheless untrue for reasons he prefers not to divulge.

RIA Novosti's own English site has a story, also sourced from within the Russian Football Union, claiming that they're after Capello: http://en.rsport.ru/football/20120707/604014857.html.

However, ideas that the original site has haplessly latched onto the wrong Italian are simply incorrect.

Thanks. Wish they'd quoted a source - could really do with this being put to bed. But good call all the same.<br /><br />-- Sat Jul 07, 2012 7:28 pm --<br /><br />

It's not a good call at all. The guy read references to the two Russian stories my Twitter feed, got completely the wrong end of the stick and posted something that, with respect to him, is simply bollocks.

I've just found this....

Official Statement of the RFU

Due to numerous reports in the media about the alleged agreed candidate for the post of head coach of Russian national team in football and signed with the former leadership of the RAF contracts, the Russian Football Union officially declares:

A. To date, no contracts with the RFU possible candidates for the post of head coach has not concluded.

Two. On Tuesday, July 10, the official website of the organization will be published a list of coaches with whom the Russian Football Union will begin negotiating a labor agreement.

Re: Mancini to Russia

gotta be bullshit... more chance of him going over to tie up a deal

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

So is this all bollocks then?

 

[LoveCity]

I saw that statement too, thing is it's from yesterday and the Mancini stories are from today. Not that it means much but if there really was a development it might have happened since then.

 

[Thenumber1blue]

Did you think it was anything else? So far Yaya,Sergio,Dzeko,Kolarov,Clichy,De Jong,Silva and Balo along with Mancini (twice now) have all been leaving this summer.

 

[Mancini10]

Sounds like bullshit, the thought of loosing Mancini sounds worse to me than loosing an organ. If Mancini goes I will be unable to survive/go on, every day that goes by without confirmation of a new contract is like a bastard bullet!

Please can someone dismiss this story within the next few hours so that I can sleep easily!

LOL!! This isn't the "butterfly effect" where you fart and the Amazon rain forest dies.

I've done business in Russia, it's shit and corruption, when it isn't muck and bullets, and when it's football it's worse.

 

[LoveCity]

Says City have rebuffed the suggestion.

 

[johnny crossan]

People don't seem to realize how serious this is - the Russians are taking over
