Zabaleta, Kompany, Tevez and De Jong were all signed by Hughes whilst Silva and Yaya Toure were on our radar long before Mancini was. 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.

Moyes for me.

He deserves his chance at a Club who'll back him but that Club should never be City.

Are you fucking serious? He was up against the rags. Hughes record against the rags as City manager was played three, lost three, and we're supposed to believe Hughes would have got us through over two legs? Comparing Hughes' record in the FA Cup is even more laughable. Hughes got us knocked out to struggling Championship side Nottingham Forest, 3 fucking nil at HOME!

Mourinho: Not coming
Klopp: Not coming, 20 points behind leaders, done nothing in Europe anyway.
Pellgerini: Won fuck all of any note.

Rijkaard and Bielsa, two more sensible suggestions at least but I haven't heard their names connected with us yet.

So, assuming none of these came, you'd back keeping Mancini, yes?

The Wigan FA Cup game summed up to me why no big club will go for him.

You've misunderstood what I was saying about the League Cup exit when Mancini came in. I think a better Manager would've got us through. I've not actually advocated keeping Hughes on - more indicated it wasn't the disaster many would have us believe. Let's face facts here... He's ex-U****d and too many Blues would never accept him. I know far too many who took that stance. I know two who returned their Seasoncards.

Klopp's done nothing in Europe? That Dortmund team were exceptional at City and they've got a perfectly winnable tie against Malaga in the Quarter Finals. That's easily the Semi Finals and then who knows? Chelsea and Liverpool have won the trophy in recent seasons.

I'd back keeping Mancini if we can be convinced that things will improve. I'm pained to see us so far being U****d in the Premiership and think the FA Cup run has been flattering. There's got to be changes somewhere.

If we can't get Moyes then Rafa would be my next choice.

You're a wind up tonight, Rammy. I'd actually recommend Martin Foyle at Hereford United. He's doing a sterling job with a low budget. Chris Sharp was a bargain at £3000.
