Mancini write-up by Didsbury Dave

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

He screams, jumps and waves his arms around. On his face is a look of absolute fear and fury. It’s the manager doing exactly what he shouldn’t be doing. He’s lost the plot, not for the first time.

The players hang on and five weeks later have won the FA Cup.

Compare the above to that below:

I've not read it but it looks shit.

may be you should

Think you are missing the point. If it had been written by anonymous we might have said interesting point of view but wrong. The fact we know the writer has been banging on like this for three years just makes it boring. And wrong.

But perhaps we should all move on. And maybe Dave would have been better off just leaving this piece unwritten. Or at least put in a few compliments to the departing man.

I've got to ask, if you knew who wrote it and knew you would hate it why click on the link?

Curiosity. He is something of a legend in his own lunchtime. And I wanted to see if in a full page article he could shed any light on the whole Mancini saga.

So you didn't click on it in the knowledge you would hate it and you could have a rant? Just asking!

Read the first paragraph and thought fuck off back to Didsbury.

Is that far enough?

The truth is Dismal has almost as high an opinion of himself as Mancini does. Maybe that's why he dislikes him so intensely. He was on his case from day 1, mainly I fathomed because Roberto wasn't Jose, and so this rather bitter piece comes as no surprise.

While Mancini's future will be interesting so will Dismal's. Don't know if he is a frustrated journo or not, but his literary style is combative and will surely need a new target sooner rather than later. Who? Well that remains to be seen.

Robbieh - You've hit the nail on the head. Dismal thought we should only ever have settled for the 'Special One' and in his mind on-one else would ever do least of all Mancini.

Dismal, you are a disruptive, back-stabbing shit-house who doesn't seem to appreciate that the world is made of individuals who all do things differently to achieve their aims. Mancini was clearly more abrasive than most, but this was his way of achieving his objectives.

When he arrived, the players ruled the roost and as far as the more disruptive elements were concerned, Mancini was the new boy and below them in the dressing room food chain. Bellamy, Tevez, Robinho, Adebayor...... I wouldn't wish that lot on my worst enemy. Throw in Mancini's own love-child Balotelli and any Muppet can see why Mancini had his work cut out.

Battles were fought & in the end the dog began to wag his tail again, but just like Funguson had to do when he first arrived at ManUre it was Mancini who had to fight those battles alone and if he hadn't have won them, the lunatics would have continued to rule the asylum.

Yes Mancini made mistakes and there were times I was lost as to what the fuck he was doing before & during matches, but if anyone knew what was required, I trusted that our leader was the best placed person to implement an action plan.

Love or loathe Mancini, he was our leader & deserved our respect and support just like soldiers supporting their general on the field of battle. What will always sum Dismal up in my book was the feeling I got last year that he and his cabal seemed gutted that we'd won the Premiere League title with Mancini at the helm. They Loathed him so much that they would rather see us lose to be rid of him than have success with Mancini as manager.

To top it all off, now that Dismal has got his wish and Mancini has been relieved of his duties, he now takes to the internet to puff out his chest & crow, 'I knew this was coming' as if this proves he was correct all along that Mancini should never have been made Manchester City manager in the first place.

That for me sums Dismal up as the poisonous germ he is.

Question Dave: If 'The Special One' isn't installed as the next Manchester City manager, who are you going to pick on then, the new man in the hot seat whoever he may be?

We should probably try to get Jose, because he's nothing like the description of Mancini in this article. I think everyone at Madrid loves him.

Yeah.How anyone could say it is a balanced piece is mystifying.
That said it wasn't a bad read and at least Dave is consistent in his reasons for not rating Mancini.

I enjoyed reading that an awful lot more.

You need help.

History is always interpreted according to the writers point of view.


In 5 years time history may judge Mancini very differently.
