Mancini

[samharris]

For me, it's not about who was right or wrong on VK playing for Belgium but that we ended up with the manager and player clearly blanking one another, which I'm guessing would not have happened if Mancini had been diplomatic in the pre match presser and if he had had a quiet word with Vinnie.

It's not even about the odd criticism of a player in public; it's about a trend of doing it and seemingly doing so more frequently.

Bobby may be one of those people who can have a ruck with someone and get over it quickly, lots of us can do that, but being publicly criticised by your manager is not the same as a falling out for the subject of the criticism, even if it leads to a falling out.

Why are you guessing that? Is this not par for the course with Mancini? It's very rare that he actually acknowledges a player when he takes the off.

Exactly.

People are making this out to be something it isn't.

Its called scraping the barrell...

Unless he's had European success i've not heard about,perhaps you can inform me?

None this season. We are still talking about this season or have we changed the rules dependant on what point you are trying to make?

As far as i'm aware,any season?

So we did change the parameters. Obviously you feel more comfortable debating the issues on the safe ground that is Mancini's European record which is shite.

I like a risk taker...

Seriously??

And you have the nerve to talk parameters? lol......

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

As there appears to be plenty of folk on here who have no time for Mancini, despite his trophy-laden CV, let's have some SENSIBLE names who could be considered as his successor, managers who would be seriously tempted into taking the job if ever the vacancy was to arise. Managers who have won a series of honours in major European Leagues. There aren't too many who would fit the bill, I would suggest. Certainly not the usual names, Guardiola or Mourinho.

Deliberately blanking and not acknowledging are no the same thing and I've frequently seen Mancini acknowledge players leaving the field.

As I said above, it's not about one incident it's about a trend, a trend that some us think is symptomatic of poor man-management.

You may not agree with the view that it is poor man-management but if you think such an opinion is scraping the barrel, it really is not worth discussing with you.

And we go straight back to page 1 of the thread...

Seriously I doubt there is anyone left on the planet who has not been named as a potential replacement

Well okay no one mentioned Paolo Di Canio but it was fucking close...

Not if it costs you the League title, UCL post group stage participation....

Could have sworn we won the league title with nineteen goals and three assists from 'mistakes' Balotelli and Adam Johnson.

Not this season, which is what my response referred to.

Really? Thats what its come down to? Can we let Ferran know? It has to be the first question. How effusive do you greet players when subbing them.

We don't want another blanker. Do we want handshakes. Pats on back. Sloppy kisses with tongues...
