Bob the reason you are provoking a response is because you are outsmarting and out-articulating the self styled masters of smart articulation. As Corporal Jones would say "they don't like it up em".

You are also right.

I tend to stick to football. Although I must admit Bob has the upper hand when it comes to being a sarcastic ****. But then the applause he gets every time he posts a rant like the one above is testament to that.

Bob is merely someone who likes Mancini and writes well. You are someone who dislikes Mancini who also writes well. As such applause comes to both of you from like minded accolytes.

I'd give you some credit were it not for the fact that I've just pointed out I'm not half as good at being a sarcastic **** as Blusterin' Bob (the poster not the manager), and therefore I avoid it and stick to talking about football for the most part. Credit it where it's due, Bob knows he's got the upper hand when it comes to blusterin' to the gallery.

Personally I think if him and Dave went toe to toe it'd be like one of the great heavyweight fights of yesteryear. Dave's a masterful sarcastic ****.

You are not contributing to the debate. Debate implies you listen. You don't listen. You haven't listened for the last two years or so. You are so convinced you are right that Txiki could employ my dog to replace Mancini and you would post about what a great pedigree he's got. He hasn't for the record.

I pour scorn and sarcasm on you and others because you do precisely the same. The endless sneering posts; the staggering pomposity; the implied I know better than you because "I am smarter/understand top management/watch 20 hours of football a week/have the inside track" and so on its all there.
you my man are completely correct, for a minute there I thought Billy was actually looking at this objectively but alas he seen his arse and reverted to type.
Yaya s agent bulled Mancini up last week as the only one at City who truly appreciates him ,Yaya signs this week and Bobbys fuckin buzzing .If he's gone as one of the cabal implied yesterday he doesn't know about it and neither does Yaya

What else is it ? A pay rise and a longer contract is exactly that. More wages and a bigger pay off if he goes. Mancini still had a year running on his contract so future planning was probably under way before the contract talks began. Hardly the fucking controversy you're trying to extract from my post.

You honestly think that the new contract negotiations between Mancini's reps and the City Board was nothing more than how much moolah would be involved? Now that's a head scratcher. I guess it is just about disliking Mancini to the exclusion of all reason and logic.

Mancini had a year remaining on his previous contract and had just won the league. There really isn't a better time for him to negotiate his contract and get the best deal possible. Again, it is significant in the sense that he got the best deal he possibly could for himself as anyone would, but the idea that this was done within some larger wider conversations about Txiki, Ferran, and the future isn't something I lend much credibility to.

Yeah I kind of got that.

If they were then Mancini went straight off script by coming back from the Sheikh telling him he wanted to focus on youth, and mouthing off about Marwood, Van Persie, and De Rossi.

Manicni mouthed off about Marwood because Marwood was running the negotiations and Mancini feared it would have a negative impact on the season coming up if not done properly. He was right too as it turned out. Focusing on youth is very much for the future unless we had some gems in the academy Mancini was overlooking. Barca still buy players. We will still buy players. Mancini wants the right ones bought as he sees it and said so.

Listen, you picked out he last line of a two paragraph post to whine that I wasn't contributing to the debate and being snide about Mancini. Yes that's precious. Very fucking precious if you ask me. And considering it's coming from someone who for the most part has poured scorn, sarcasm, and snide comments over myself and one or two other posters, you will forgive me for not particularly giving much of a fuck and mocking you in kind.

Heck don't get me wrong I would do it anyway because I'm a sarcastic c**t but seriously have a look in the mirror sweetie and reflect.

Got to be careful though or else he may have Zin Corleone offering him out :-)

Mancini's pre season whinging was pathetic & calculated to put the blame elsewhere in the event he struggled.

I prefer us to keep him on, but he is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination & only an idiot would think his whinging was in any way a good thing for the club.

It was, & is, embarrassing. He has better resources to work with than 99% of managers.

good post, Mancini at times is like a child in a sweet shop, regardless of last summer we still spent 50 Million, the same as United, he hasnt helped us this season with his change of tactics, failings in europe.
