explosive only in the sense of mild flatulence. It is difficult to understand how anyone could be depressed or upset by Ladyman, he is a a joke hack even amongst the joke hacks.LoveCity said:

That article reads like something you'd find in Viz.

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.

I never got involved with in or out.I support the guy in charge and when he goes I support the next guy but Mancini up to this season delivered silverware and I feel he deserves a bit more respect than is being shown by sections of the media and a tiny minority of our fans.

And yet he managed to fall out big style with Kompany this season.Gaylord du Bois said:Kompanys post match interview 13.5.12 seemed to infer differently.Len Rum said:You've missed the point mate. You're right when you say that Baconface and Jose (Shankly and Cloughie too) upset players as much as Bob, however the same players would at the same time walk through walls for these guys. In Bobby's case this wasn't true. His relationship with the players had no upside.BlueAnorak said:Definitely a better read than DD's copy.
I still don't understand why folks think Mancini behaved so badly?
For every incident that has (and could) be identified I bet their are 10 such incidents that can be identified in Baconface's reign at the swamp. It wouldn't surprise me if Jose has the worse record than Mancini too. Which leads me to my point: Winners expect you to do as you are told - If they say: "Jump", - you say: "How High Boss", or you are out of the door before you know it.
City have decided they do not want a dictator as a head coach. They want an intelligent tactician. It remains to see whether this will work in the short, medium or long term. It certainly requires more proven specialists cooperating within the organisation for it to work - though the board are seemingly willing to put these specialists in place.
Interesting times.

A very successful, egotistical, hard task master then, Mr Ladyman? Love how he slates Roberto and talks of the poor players having to do double training but then quickly redoubles by adding in things about cosseted players. YCNMIU.
You can't have it all ways Mr L.
Yet another club briefed piece I assume (based on PB saying sometime back that if Ladyman has written something it's likely to have come from the club). Why not just let it lie City? Things were dying down nicely and now this?
Serious misgivings about how our PR is being handled. Then again, it shouldn't matter to me how the club is portrayed, after all, I'm only a mug punter who they want to happily stump up nigh on a grand for a couple of season tickets.

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
Sounds like you've been letting all this holistic stuff go to your head!

I have read this thread with much amusement. Like a Richard Littlejohn column or a TalkSport football show, the blog got exactly the reaction it was written to elicit. In that respect, DD and Toma have played a blinder. They would have been gutted if it had been met with indifference. Viva Brooklandsblue 2.0.
I'll not comment on the content of Dave's article, he's entitled to his opinion and whether or not I agree with it is neither here nor there. I'm sure he cares not a jot.
I will, however, make two brief points i I may.
1: I was frankly shocked and disappointed to find DD employing the 'greengrocer's apostrophe' which he has posted about and hates so much. A poor show from a self-confessed grammar fundamentalist.
2: Cold. Arrogant. Unnecessarily confrontational. Egotistical. Divisive. Sneeringly dismissive of those he does not consider his equals.The traits DD accuses Mancini of sound strangely familiar, certainly in terms of a certain poster's online 'persona'. Could it be that he hated him so much simply because they were, in fact, so similar?
