Mancini write-up by Didsbury Dave

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Be careful my son,the Gord moves in mysterious ways.

My disciples are everywhere.

Spectacles,Testicles,Wallet and Watch? I think you introduced me to them on Saturday.

I certainly introduced you to the concept of a wallet ;-)

One of the things about the post-mortem re: the sacking on here that I find faintly curious is the notion in some quarters that the "outers" will be more likely to be the first ones demanding Pellegrini's sacking if and when things don't go smoothly.

My experience of human nature (fwiw) is that they will be among the last ones calling for his head.

One of the most vocal inners (who will remain nameless) had a pathological hatred for Hughes, in fact he made Dave's dislike for Mancini look rather tame! But I can't think of that many others

I think most City fans are like myself, rather pragmatic about the whole thing, we could see that things were not right, in fact many of us could see it from the first home game of the season. But for want of a better manager we supported the one we had hoping that things might improve, most of us don't really follow the game in Europe and South America, and I guess most of us had never really heard that much about Pellegrini

We all want what's best for the club, but for most of us life is too short to go on a crusade about a manager, thankfully there are very few like Dave and Billy who had a visceral dislike for Mancini in fact they are the only two (thankfully).

I do hope we can draw a line under all this the so called inners and outers, and lets all be friends, I think the lesson that some people need to learn is to not let yourself be painted into a corner, be rather more flexible don't let your football opinions define who you are, pragmatism really is the way forward

Mail has the most explosive article yet about Mancini... it's a bit depressing and even upsetting to read.

Twas only a matter of time, problem is, some of that stuff is not too hard to imagine. Oh well, onwards.

While I'm not doubting that there were divisions between Mancini and some players, if things were as bad as that article suggests I'm amazed we finished in the top 4 never mind 2nd and reaching a Cup Final. I'll also be disappointed if the club hierarchy are briefing against Mancini, whatever his flaws he did more than enough for the club not to warrant that sort of treatment.

HaHa Mancini the beastly boss while other prem managers shower their players with rose petals and candy floss.
Mancini has Glenn Hoddle syndrome,very few players can match his skill and vision and he becomes frustrsted by them.He never learned to be tolerant of players that need a bit of a gee up and others that don't give their all every time thay are on the pitch.For him the team is everything.You earn x amount I expect you to be totally professional and follow my orders to a tee.When players buy into his philosophy brilliant football is the result but when they don't perform at 100% you lose your job.I hope he mellows as he ages but Bob knows this is the game and a few snidey articles won't change that.
He will win many more trophies in his career and I wish him all the best.

"a source"
"an observer"
Players texting journalists

Character assassination at its finest, or worst, I'm not sure.

The mail article that is...
