Would like to know so much what would Mancini tell the press if he would be Spurs manager...
Wenger/AVB keeps telling every week they can do it, they will do it, the players can do it, etc.
Would Mancini lower the expectations like he used to do at City...
As Spurs manager he would say something like this:
Arsenal spent for years, Chelsea spent for years, City/United same, so we "Spurs" dont have the chance. We will fight for the end but we will have to get players (=because current set of players arent good for me)".
Can imagine him lowering expectations instead of giving extra motivation out of man management skills to his squad that maybe a little weaker than Arsenals and lot weaker than Chelsea, City, United.
And at a club where he could spend that much or only what he is getting in from selling top stars like Spurs after Modric sale, I wonder how would he want to imrove a team. If he cant do it getting top players for top fee and top wages.
He has lowered our expectations many times, "CL is strange", "it can happen", "it is only our second CL campaign, Ajax is more experienced," even if their players are young homegrown players with zero or little CL history except maybe Ryan Babel and Poulsen, great ex-Pool "legends".
Giving this negative idea always and crying about the players he couldnt get, meaning basically he is sending a message to our current players that if RVP would be here I wouldnt have to play Dzeko or Tevez as much etc.
And then if RVP wouldnt flourish at us, easily possible scenario, as he gets so big support from United's wide play, then its not Mancini's fault, it's because Falcao didnt come instead or next to RVP...
