Mancini

[OB1]

Seriously, does anyone out there think it is a good thing that when the team captain walks off the pitch, he blanks the manager and vice-versa?

If you take each on Mancini's public criticisms of his players individually, you can wave them away with an excuse of some sort, if that is how you want to spin it. However, these are not isolated incidents and there is a pattern here; it's a pattern that some of us do not think is a good one. Football is about teamwork and the manager should, at least in my opinion, be part of the team not in conflict with it on, what seems like, an increasingly regular basis. Clearly, it can't always be sweetness and light but ultimately I'd say harmony has more benefit to teamwork than conflict. Wasn't it part Hitler's managerial style to encourage something akin to creative tension amongst his subordinated? It might have succeeded for a while but didn't end well.

Hitler? Is this what the argument has come to, comparing our managers personality traits to one of the most despised and evil men of our lifetime? It's all a bit desperate now.
In answer to your question, no it's not great at all to see your manager and captain blank each other, and I hope they can both sort out their differences...but Hitler, fuckinell.

So Mancini is now Hitler? Had him down as more of a Pol Pot sort of guy myself

Really? Who would have thought Pol Pot would come up twice in the same thread. Knew I should have gone with Kim il Jong for that joke

Dear me, I did not compare Mancini's personality to that of Hitler, I referred to an aspect of managerial style; there's a world of difference. How Hitler managed and his goals are also two very different things and Hitler's management style, in of itself, is a much covered subject.

I think you should put the shovel down and walk away from the hole you are digging. There is still time.

Godwin's Law.

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
