Mancini

[Skashion]

Not only did Hughes take us nowhere at all, but his ridiculous buys have had a lasting and damaging effect as we strive to comply with Twatini's big club charter.

On the subject of Mancini, he may indeed finish the season with a 'respectable' 83 points, but that would entail us having to win 8 of our remaining 9 games, including at least 2 out of the rags, Spuds and Swansea away. A more likely total would probably be around the 77 mark, a full dozen down on last season, having spent £60 odd million adding to last year's title winning squad. Sacking him might be a gamble, if Mourinho or Klopp is not available, but I genuinely don't think Laudrup, Martinez or even Rodgers would have fared any worse with the players at our disposal, let alone Pellegrini, Ancelotti, De Boer or Hiddink. That enough names for you?

Martinez and Rodgers, am I supposed to be impressed by your list?

Four hundred and ninety pages of utter utter bollocks.

That's it mate, if we all pull in the right direction we can get it to 500 just for Ducado, I know he likes this thread ;-)

I don't give a flying fish whether you're impressed with it or not. You were droning on, not for the first time, about there being no-one better than Mancini available, and I simply named a handful of managers who would not, in my opinion, have fared any worse than Mancini this season, had they had Hart, Zab, Kompers, Clichy, Ya Ya, Nasri, Silva, Aguero and Tevez at their disposal. You may disagree, just as I disagree with your assertion that Klopp has won bugger all (apart from the league and cup double of course, oh and all on a shoestring, whilst having his best players taken off him each season) and is therefore not all that. Based on his team's total domination of us both home and away this year, I'd rate him as a significant upgrade on Mancini

Don't compare me with Oscar Wilde, Skash. jma will be calling you one of my "lickspittles".

Which is exactly what you are.

I like jma, he is very amusing.

He must save his humour for the end of his posts, which is why I cannot comment on this claim.

I like evidence. I have fuck all evidence that half your list would be any sort of improvement. I never said Klopp had won nothing. Try to stick to facts and I will be more respectful of your opinions.<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 29, 2013 8:28 pm --<br /><br />

You forgot to mention Moyes, although I personally do feel he'd be more suited to Barcelona.
