Mancini

[Anonymous]

I will be both unsurprised and undismayed with your surprise and dismay Billy.
The truth will soon out :-)

There'll be very few smiling when the truth finally does out about Mancini, that's for sure.

Meh, and what? Some hidden truth comes out that paints Mancini to be everything you believe him to be, he leaves/gets sacked, you get to tell people I told you so on the Internet and City get another top class manager who I'll support from day one.
Whatever happens it won't affect me in anyway at all - which funnily enough is the same stance I've held since we sacked the last dozen or so.
I'll always be grateful for the last 3-4 years, wherever you credit Mancini for any of it or reckon its only because of the cash, it makes no difference to me. I've felt highs that I never felt possible watching City and when all is said and done I'm willing to give credit for Mancini's part in that - if others don't that's their prerogative.

You overestimate the meaning of what I've posted. Firstly, I could give less of a fuck about the internet and what people think about who's right and who's wrong. My general opinion of Mancini in face of some of the shite i've been called should bare testament to that. I've never said that Mancini shouldn't be given credit for his part in everything we've achieved with him at the helm. I simply take the opinion that once he's gone, there'll be a more objective way from both sides to view the good he did and the bad he did. My opinion is that when that happens for all the good he's praised for, there'll be all manner of things which will dismay and disgust and overall everyone will agree sacking him was the best thing to do.

Maybe I'm just trying to justify my own opinion or trying to create a narrative which suits me. Who knows ... we all do that on forums to some extent.

Bobby has just rang me.

His stomach and sides are aching, and he's out of Kleenex tissues. But he's asked me to tell you all not to stop. :-)

He really would be pissing his sides if he did read this thread :-) Everything from attention seeking videos through to muppets offering people out on t'internet. Amazing really !

Can't understand why you would want to create a narrative to justify the sacking of a city manager.

You missed it. I hid behind the sofa and covered my ears.

You've misinterpreted what i'm saying, which to be fair is easy enough to do as it isn't particularly clear. I was talking about creating a narrative about how Mancini's tenure will be viewed after he's gone. Maybe Pablo's right and nobody will give a shit about anything beyond the trophies.

Might be me being thick but do you have inside information on Bob being a naughty boy?
Care to share?

In all seriousness mate, what are these things which will dismay and disgust people? I'm not after a source or anything but you cannot just say things like that without some evidence to back up your claims.

If they cannot be backed up then they shouldn't be put across in such a manner becuase what you are putting across as fact could be nothing but mere opinion.

Is the 'dismay and disgust' comment based on hard facts that you know (not think) to be true?

The clue is in the first two words of the quoted part of the post.
