Mancini

And there it is right there ^^^^^^^^^^

One of the conditions of his return is a top 4 spot, without that, no deal!

Oh and that tiny detail of a huge contract to be thrashed out

The article is in complete contradiction to that, though.

He wants it signed now, hence the plant by Beasley in the first place.

Jose is trying to apply pressure so that he comes out smelling of roses either way.

Thanks Tolm, that's what I was trying to point out. Still don't really see why missing out on top4 would be a reason for Roman to NOT employ Jose though?

More a case of Jose not wanting to lower himself i would have thought.

Bob it is again then next year.

At least it will keep this thread alive ;-)

Can't see it being that simple. I'd still love to know what the fook Bob was dragged over to AD for....

Maybe he went of his own accord looking for assurances about his future. Maybe they called him over there to tell him there's no worries over his own future. We can speculate either way although the timing is a bit strange with Khaldoun having been in Manc very recently.

Could also be two ships passing in the night..Truth will out I'm sure.

I'm pretty shit at knocking stuff together but can anyone get a list of remaining games for Chelsea, Spuds and Arse?

Wasn't Khaldoon at the Newcastle game last week. Reports started he spent an hour with Mancini in his office after the game?

Perhaps Mancini needed to hear something direct from the horses mouth, needed assurances.

There's nothing which couldn't have been said in the usual end-of-season-meeting unless it directly related to his job, staying or not.

People will drive themselves crazy trying to read something in to it. I have heard Mancini on two occasions later this week make reference to the future.

City saying it was for a holiday, most people will see through that.

As for Jose, I think that shipped sailed the moment his people contacted Begiristain a few weeks back.

I would love to retain your hope, but I don't see it.

the quotes the other day re spending a shit load more money speaks volumes of his managerial abilities to be fair

Chelsea havent got their CL spot just yet.. I think that quite important tbh.

And there it is right there ^^^^^^^^^^

I've not read the Beasley article and he obviously has his reasons, but without a top 4 finish he wont be Chelsea manger, make of it what you will.

Miss Piggy's little boy just did a sex wee in his pants reading that Tolmie!

Seriously though, I think there's many twists and turns left in the whole managerial merry go round before decisions are made from any of the main parties involved.

I wonder is Jose's annual salary put Bergastain off.
