well done.
Tbf Bill, your comments about Mancini early on in his reign were ridiculous. I'll never forget the day Hughes was sacked, what was it you posted again? Something along the lines of, "I'm gonna stand outside the front of the ground and complain!"
lol, i dont remember saying that mate. i have posted on here recently my views on mancini and his replacement of hughes. big big difference is mancini won the cup then the league. he does frustrate me still just not as much as he first did, his rotation especially in europe does my fruit in but the guy has been a success. nobody can say other wise.
here's that post.
de niro said:this is laughable it really is. i was unimpressed when i heard mancini was to be our new boss, this was around 6 months before he was appointed. i hoped the deal would fall down and we'd either keep hughes or appoint jose. once installed all my fears came true, he was negative and seriously had no clue about what the prem was all about. his tactics and substitutions were baffling at best. one thing he did do though was he carried himself well, he was and still is class in front of the media and came across so very confident. he won me round to a degree and yes even now he still has me scratching my head at times.
so where are we now?
he wins us the fa cup, beating the rags in the semi, does it get better than that? well yes actually, he won us the league, from an impossible position and again its the rags that are brushed aside.
i'll never forget yayas goals in the semi and final and of course that goal by aguero back in may.
fast forward to august and mancini pleads with the board to cash in on our title success and get the players for us to kick on. the club sat on its hands. january comes and still no improvement in the squad. so nastastic apart bob plods on with a far weaker side than the 11 that won us the title, he endures the worst injury run to key players for quite some time, to any squad a big loss, to a paper thin in quality squad downright disaster.
you'd expect a top four finish to be a big ask but no bob lies in second, his team are in the semi final of the fa cup, his record come may 11th could read cup/league/cup in three seasons. throw in a runners up medal this season and i for one long suffering blue will take that all day long.
the club WILL back him this summer and ffs so should we.
he's earned it.
