Mancini will be in place until Vieira is ready to take over.

How many times do I have to say this, Terry Connor is teh man to take us on from Mancini. People keep haarping on about where we came from so I sense a feeling of nostalgia towards the old blue days. Fear not my nostalgic blues, TC will take us back to where we came from.

Forgive me, our co efficient has improved simply be being in european competition this season, however teams previously ranked below us have improved their co efficients significantly more than we have and therefore we are likely to be in pot 3. I take your point that it's possible to get a nasty group draw even whilst being in pot 1 & 2, but it does significantly improve your chances of getting an easier group if you're in a higher up pot.
We were 28th ranked team last season. We are currently 20th rated team. We might drop another couple of places before the end of the season. But our chances of pot 2 depend on the teams above us qualifying for next years comp or not.
That is very true, but pot 3 the likely one. Looking at the co ratings, once the draw has been made for next season we will drop to 26th so it will be pot 3 for the next 2 seasons at least. Thankfully the year after we only lose just over 3 points off our total so as long as we do ok to well, we will start to climb more significantly from then onwards. Unless our luck in the draws changes we are in for another tough 2 years in the Champs league

Partly correct. The big clubs, or elite if you prefer, require a coach who can excel domestically and in Europe. Di Matteo has won the CL as has Rijkaard and Avram Grant got to a CL final yet the 'elite' are not rushing to employ them.
In contrast Wenger has been courted by the top clubs yet has never won the CL and in 15 years only got to 1 final so not exactly ripping up trees either. Not to mention in his first 2 years he didn't get out the group stages.
In terms of managers been desirable through domestic and European achievements then Benitez fits the bill although we are now been linked with managers that have yet to achieve anything significant either domestically or in Europe so what do I know...
...as for clubs making a play for Mancini in light of all the rumours well of course they are and no doubt Mancini's camp will leak any and all overtures to him via his agents and so the game goes on.
Personally I think we will get at least 1 more year of Bobby which will make this place a real hoot to visit next season
A brilliant post which many seem to have overlooked. Well done1
