Hughes took us so far (in 6th when he left) and now Mancini will take us so far too. The next Manager needs to take us forwards in Europe whilst also earning domestic success as Premiership Champions again. This 15 point gap could get bigger by the end of the season and is simply unacceptable.
You're clearly not following the thread as I ripped a big hole in the giving credit to Hughes argument earlier, although from 8th to 6th for £212m net whilst having Kompany warming on the bench is probably a very quick summary of Hughes taking us nowhere at all. I've also pointed out that it's quite plausible for Mancini to finish with a very respectable 83 points this season. However, who's coming in to replace him? People are quick to demand that Mancini should lose his job but specifying who is going to fill his shoes is rapidly becoming a mute subject on this thread.
There's over 400 pages so I'm dipping in and out!
Taking us nowhere at all? How about the Semi Finals of a Cup competition for the first time in years? Mancini promptly took us out of it and then the FA Cup and then he missed his target of 4th place.
5 names: Mourinho, Klopp, Pellgerini, Rijkaard and Bielsa.
