Mancini

[BobKowalski]

Isn't there some sort of internet law thats enacted as soon as someone is compared to Hitler?

Godwin's Law.

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

Obiwan can still plead the 1st April amendment to Godwin's Law. There is still hope for the wan

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.

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.

Dear me indeed - don't try and belittle me OB1, you made an unnecessary comparison using hitlers methods in regards to his management style to those that Mancini uses and it's frankly nonsense.
You have put across many sound arguments in this thread and have said things which I have agreed with but that doesn't mean when you go too far you shouldn't be called out for it.

When Godwins Law comes into play on a forum thread it means the thread is finished.

I'm not trying to belittle you in any way but don't make my comment out to be something that it is not.

I was not trying to be controversial, I posited a question about a particular approach to management, one that I know of other people using. I also said akin as it may not have been exactly the same but the point was that it was ultimately unsuccessful. If people don't want to see beyond the name of the famous example that I used, then let the mods remove this section.

I'm not trying to offend anybody or be derogatory to Mancini.

I can appreciate that you said akin and not exactly the same. Which is true given Mancini has not invaded Poland.

But give it time my friend. Give it time.

How about that rather suspicious house in Swansea instead?

hitler looks a bit like wooney

 

[buzzer1]

Hold on just a darn minute here... so is that correct that if somebody on the internet compares somebody else to Hitler then that somebody is approached by BB?

Bobby now has a great chance to make it 4 trophies in 4 seasons.

1 PL Title, 2 FA Cups, 1 Charity Shield.

With the right signings this Summer there's no reason why City can't win another Charity Shield and then wrestle the PL Title back off the Rags next season.
