Mancini

[andyhinch]

Many believe khaldoon had always been his main ally and backer, which is a concern for those of us wanting mancini replaced, as The man has had no involvement with the sport of football before the city job.

Khaldoon's judgement questioned by Mancini outers - who's next - the Sheikh!!? A dangerous game Dave - you're not happy with Khaldoon means you're not happy with our owner. Back to Wardle then so we can get rid of Mancini? The logic is devastating.

Remember Khaldoon went on record when Mancini was appointed saying it was 100% his call and he would stand or fall by his choice.

Absolutely spot on, if ever you wanted a statement that presses the 'self destruct' button this is it, but then again, nothing ceases to amaze me with the Mancini out mob.

Common sense and history tells you that money will trump any manager every time, so to question the people with the money because you happen not to like the manager is crass, idiocy in the extreme, that only the most ardent rags fan would want....hang on a minute maybe I'm onto something..........

Don't go down that route mate, it's one thing their not.

The hypocrisy stinks.

Marwood has been painted as the devil incarnate and made wholly responsible for this season by Mancini's love-in crowd.

Marwood did the bidding of both Khaldoon and our owner.

Are you also saying in actual fact that you don't support Khaldoon or our owner?

Or whisper it veryquietly, because you don't want to been seen to bite the hand that feeds us, Marwood is a more convenient scapegoat for both Mancini's fans and Mancini himself.

Laughable really isn't it?

The only explanation I have is they genuinely didn't know what role Marwood had in transfers, or am I being too generous?

Heard it all before, sorry, but anyone who revels in creating instability around the club at a crucial time in the season, then questions our owners who brought this club up from It's knees is an enemy within as far as I'm concerned... Don't care if they are dressed head to toe in blue and go to every game.

They (and it is a very small minority on here) may well consider themselves blues but they never will be in my eyes. They can name call me all they like (like i give a sh*t what they think) I have no desire to have anything to do with them and their opinion matters none to me.

They're entitled to their views on the manager, no one owns the book on football, but I'm sorry if you start to criticise the owners you have overstepped the mark and I'm afraid the red mist came down when I started to read that sort of sh*t.

I guess we all want to support city in different ways, I just want to enjoy the crack, enjoy watching my team and support the club and see where that takes us and leave the post Mortem until the end of the season. However, some people seem to enjoy the speculation and expressing their opinion making up sh*t speculation they know nothing about, whether that damages the club or not, more than just enjoying the footie and supporting the team.

DD has opened a real Pandora's box here.

So let's call a spade a spade shall we.

Mancini has not been able to take the team forward this season, according to his supporters, because he was not backed in the market last summer.

Marwood's supposed incompetence resulted in Mancini's transfer targets falling by the wayside.

So instead of spending £100m on Van Persie, De Rossi, Javi Martinez and such, we bought Scott Sinclair, Javi Garcia and Jack Rodwell, at a net spend of £23m.

Marwood was a lackey, nothing more, a buffer zone.

In essence, Mancini and his supporters are laying the blame at our owners.

Hence DD's valid opinion that perhaps the people with the money don't get everything right and don't know everything about football.

The Mancini out crowd do set themselves up as being a bit more knowledgeable/intellectual than the inners. They have high flying jobs that bring them into contact with important people in the world of football.

The only thing that puzzles me is the amount of time they spend on BM.

I think those of us that support Mancini are intelligent enough to understand that you can't place all the blame on the manager all the time, as there is a team around him, responsible for various operations of the football side of things.

Most of us are also intelligent enough to understand that mistakes can be made even by our magnificent owners but we trust them to put those things right when they are identified.

None of us, me included, really know who sanctioned, identified and signed the summer targets but I think it's clear to most that Marwood appeared to have most responsibility for summer transfers and I think the failure in the summer to get our no 1 targets was the reason that Marwoods role was changed. This tells me our owners will make the necessary changes In the organisation when required and that includes Mancini.

My opinion is that Mancini is doing a good job, has won us things and is moving the club in the right direction, I will remain with that position and trust our owners to do the right thing and I will trust them to make the ultimate decision on Mancini. I haven't seen the Mancini inners once question the methods of our owners only point out that any failings you can point to this season (not many) can't solely be placed with Mancini.

I would describe that as a sensible pragmatic approach rather than the blinkered nonsensical 'everything bad that happens is Mancini's fault' approach of those who are pushing for instability.

Maybe they get someone else to serve the fries ;)

There are some right whopper arguments on here, mind.

Look at the quality of arguments put forward by each camp.

I read some of the inners and I question in my head if they watch any football other than City, I question rationality and I question their fucking balls.

Change doesn't just happen, you have to be ballsy to go and make changes.

If people think getting a win against the likes of Everton, Sunderland and Stoke is a 'bonus' when we have a star studded team then that tells me all I need to know. We have a great club, we have a great owner, we have a great future on the horizon and we have a very good squad which can be great with the right balance and additions, we just don't have a great manager and it really is that simple.

To the tune of blame it on the boogie.
Don't blame it on tactics,
Don't blame it on man management,
Don't blame it on 3-5-2,
Blame it on Marwood.

Intellectual? Gossiping and tilting at windmills this morning.

I'm resolved to ignore this topic now.
