to be fair no manager worth his salt, especially an italian one, would turn their nose up at the juve job, no matter how much money we are planning on spending.

robbieh said:Laurent Blanc may well be the next manager of Juve. He is very hot property after doing so well at Bordeaux. Apparently he met club officials 2 days ago.
Today Moratti, Inter president, said Mourinho going nowhere as he has 2 years left on his contract.
So whatever else that suggests it seems that absolutely nothing has been agreed with JM re City and RM is certainly not nailed on at Juve.
Blanc > Inter
Jose > City
Bob > Juve
Feasible.

Unless a club or jose himself would like to exercise his release clause.

Is there a chance that Mancini is trying to force City into coming out and backing him?
He wanted to manage in England for some time, he even moved to London to improve his English and he has now landed a job where he can achieve anything he wants. He is doing well up to now and may well be playing Champions League football with City next season so leaving doesn't make sense - unless he already knows that Mourinho is already lined up for the job.

Mancini and the Chairman are good friends... Mancini knows the score which would have been discussed when he first signed up.
At the end of the day his just looking after his own interests, and after all this speculation about Jose then who wouldnt.
I said this before but i dont care who is managing us next year. Either way we are in seriously capible hands!

From the BBC when he got the job...
During an 18-month absence from the game, the 45-year-old Mancini has been linked with numerous managerial vacancies in a whole host of countries, but England has long been his first choice.
And, although his arrival at Eastlands in place of Mark Hughes came as a shock to many, City fans will be heartened to hear that he has been awaiting this opportunity for some time.
"He has been working hard over a year and half to learn English and has been living in London a few months to learn the language," said Mancini's close friend and former Sampdoria team-mate Gianluca Vialli.
"He has always been attracted by the style of football in the Premier League. I know he's particularly happy to be joining Manchester City.

I'd be rather upset if we dumped Mancini for Mourinho. Not that I don't rate Mourinho, just that it would be hard to justify yet more change, in cold hard terms. the suspicion would be that we just went for the biggest name, the biggest reputation regardless of what's actually right for the club.
I'd be rather upset if Mancini dumped us for Juve but I wouldn't blame him, the club would only have itself to blame. they've never changed the perception that he was a stop gap. they left the door open, and it's up to him if he walks through it.
I'm a teensy bit upset at the owners for the way all of this has been handled. thanks for the money, thanks for tevez, but what we need is a clear, long term sporting strategy. throwing money at the club is not the same thing as knowing what you are doing. to be perfectly frank, I've stuck up for them time after time, often against my better judgement. but they have made mistakes, robinho's arrival torpedoed last season, hughes never recovered. if they had serious doubts they should have axed him in the summer, not the winter. they have this summer to convince me they know what their long term sporting strategy is, and frankly, mourinho's arrival would be some compensation, but it would not convince me in itself. I also don't relish the prospect of our club becoming part of the Mourinho show.
people who say they are happy either way, please consider the scenario where Mancini leaves but Mourinho shafts us. He's a sharp operator, you can't rule it out. I even believe he courted our interest (and that of another club) last year, shortly before he signed a new deal. what if mancini walks, and mourinho goes to real, or even stays at inter, waiting for the rags job. and we get..... err...... martin o'neill?
that would be fun, wouldn't it.
wake up, this is a serious business. nothing is guaranteed. you can pour over mourinho's every tick, you can tell yourself it makes perfect sense for him to come here, but really, you have no idea of his intentions whatsoever.

Think the club are wrapping him in cotton wool/keeping him on the low after the media went for his throat!

Hear hear.
Great post from a poster who is rapidly becoming one of my favourite posters on Bluemoon...Bizzbo...a quality act. I am one of those who has stated that I am happy with either man as I rate them both enormously, but have to say that the thought of being 'left in the lurch' is not an appetising one.

Looking at Mancini's latest pre match preview for the Burnley game, he comes across to me as though he has lost that bit of spark. He talked down the chances of top 4, pointed out it was impossible to win all the remaining games and when asked about fans passion in Italy, he said it was different to England as the stadiums are not always full, when in the past he has said fans in england are much better. Then when talking about Joe Hart next season, he didn't really seem interested and insisted we concentrate only on this season
I'm probably reading far too much into everything and watching the interview after reading the rest of this thread probably influenced my thoughts, but I just get the feeling he is either thinking he'll be somewhere different next year or he does not have the confidence in the players he had when he first joined.
I hope he does get the summer to do his own thing and stays with us for years to come.

Top post Bizzbo.
If these persistant stories a bout Mourinho carry on then the seasons in danger of turning into something similar to the second half of svens season where it was clear the manager was a dead man walking.
There will be other opportunities to court Mourinho but to fire a manager after 6 months, who has done a very decent (albeit at times unspectacular) job is fucking bonkers even by citys standards.
