Quote some Oscar Wilde to me.....

I'll start


All of us are in the gutter.....some of us are looking at the stars

Quite apt for this thread

Come on guys, we really need to pick up the pace if we're going to get to 500 pages before midnight.

I reckon we need Billy and DD to land before ten if we're definitely going to make it.

You like evidence? Seems like a profound statement at face value. Alas, there can be no "evidence" can there, in respect of something that hasn't actually happened yet?! There's no evidence that the people on my list would have fared better than Mancini this season, but equally there's no evidence either that they wouldn't. We can all of us only speculate. Got any more bull dressed up as words of wisdom?

Evidence as in trophy records. Half the people you named have won significantly fewer trophies than Mancini. Mancini has won nine trophies including four titles in little over ten years in football management. That's a great record and I'd love to see some evidence that our next manager can win more trophies than Mancini can.

Fair enough, if that were the sole guarantee of success, but it isn't. How about potential, how about the proven ability to get a team punching way above its weight whilst playing good football, how about success without the assistance of gobs and gobs of cash, something that Mancini has been furnished with phenomenal amounts of at both City and Inter? Martinez only hung up his boots 5 years ago and has necessarily had to cut his managerial teeth at little clubs with no realistic prospect of winning anything, and he's made a superb job of it. Klopp similarly had to begin with lowly Mainz, before taking his first big job at Dortmund 4 years ago, where he has since won back to back Bundesliga titles, the German double, and now progressed to the quarter final of the Chimps League (and with Malaga to come, do you really think he won't make the semis - something Mancini has NEVER managed in 8 seasons of asking) from Pot 4 in only his second season in the competition. Sometimes a gamble is worth taking, and given Mancini's gradual exposure over the course of the last 15 months as a manager, who whilst espousing good football, has struggled repeatedly against both parked buses and high presses, who has a truly dismal record in Europe, and whose man management is questionable at best, that time has come for me.
