Mancini

[OB1]

Oh great!! More negative briefings from ITKs at the Club. Hope it wasn't another failed kit man!!

Yes we have moved on as a Club, however, when the media reveal that Moyes was the fourth person interviewed on the short list to be manager, Txiki and Ferran won't be looking too clever.

The kit man doesn't count a senior. I asked a question and got an answer. Whether anyone on here likes the answer or not, it is an indication of what key decision makers at the club thought about Mancini and if anyone on here does not understand the importance of that, they are a bit dim.

Lol. You have the sort of mentality that thinks a bureaucratic in a hospital
Is more important than the surgeon who saves people's lives.

It seems pretty clear to me that Mancini has got pissed of with negative briefings from the Club. It is time for everyone to move on - not just Roberto.

Have the decency to name the ITK you claim to know.

Your analogy is misplaced. It's not about my mentality; it's about that the fact that influential people in the club decided Mancini was not worth the trouble. That is a fact and my opinion on it, which I have not offered, is neither here nor there. The opinion of the person that I had a conversation with does matter and I do not claim to know him; I happen to have met him, briefly, a couple of times.

I'm obviously not going to name anyone but I will tell you that the same person also commented negatively on Mancini's handling of Joe Hart and that Mancini was not the right person to build the sort of culture that the club want.

the way Mancini had to answer press questions every fucking week from last January until May about the new manager was awful.
It started with Mourinho and Guardiola, and then Guardiola signed for Bayern around February, then we all can remember one week it was Pellegrini, than Koeman, then Valverde, even Riijkaard maybe.

Now its clear they were going behind the managers back, and seraching for the new manager. It was about 7-8 months after he singed a 5 year contract.
2012 July maybe and Txiki were already talking to new managers since 2013 January/February.

I dont blame any manager, it wasnt Mancini's fault the way Hughes sacking was handled, just like its not Pelle's fault how Mancini's sacking was handled. More the people running the show behind the scenes that time and this time.

Don't think I will.

Dry your tears.

What tears? What's fucking weird about the anti-Mancini lot is that they don't understand that people who were fans of Mancini can still see why had to go, were pleased with the job he did all the same, and are now enjoying this season with the new manager whom we like. That's true for me anyway.

People like you just make yourselves look like very bitter people with strange outlooks on things.

They are not true City fans. They can't be. No true Blue could have not been completely over joyed with the FA Cup win and the league title.

They will be true City fans. But they're just too sour to ever admit someone they didn't like did more good than any of the bad they could ever peddle out for this club and that while we're very grateful for it they can't ever admit that they were wrong for a monster of the time they were banging on - and doing everyone's heads in - for as we went and did some historical things because of him. And what gets on their nerves is that we like Txiki, we like Pellegrini, we're enjoying most of this season and actually, laughably, think we're still pining for Mancini to be the manager and we're gutted when we see this City team.

Part of supporting the Club is holding the Club's legends in high esteem. Have you ever heard of Joe Mercer? Some of us support the Club and our Managers

But Joe upset the apple-cart by refusing to honour his supposed promise to step aside for Allison. You could argue that started a chain of events that led to Swales taking control, relegation in 1983 and 25 years of underachievement and high drama. But none of us judge him on that or Big Mal on his disastrous tenure.

Was it because we didn't have things like the internet in those days and only got the official view? Big Mal won us nothing in his second spell and ripped us apart as a club and a team yet we still adored him.

So what is it about managers like Mancini & Hughes that makes people so dislike them?

we KNOW that bob was a loon, but he was our loon and a winning loon.

Are the Mancini inners still butthurt and crying over him?

Perhaps you can take out another advert to thank him for this interview.

Have a word with yerself fella, you've just used to word "butthurt".

Don't think I will.

Dry your tears.

Let it go and move on already.

and then he doubles down on the irony.

...because you and your likeness are like flies to a turd. As soon as we draw or lose many come out the wood work writing about Mancini.

As soon as Mancini does a well calculated interview with a 'journalist' who has slagged us off all season you're all in the relevant thread crying about him.

Let it go and move on already.

Nope. You're incorrect. I think I've mentioned Mancini once in the Pellegrini thread and even apologised or doing so, I think I was just using him as an example. And I don't bring him up in post match threads as he isn't our manager.

If you'd read my post you'd see I have moved on, I am enjoying this season.

I've not cried since the day we won the league so I don't know why you keep saying "crying" and "tears".

Any more updates from the ' I know what Mancini did last summer' clan or is still the 'smoking gun or 'facts' provided by a link to a Daily Mail website?

Its the best kept secret in NATO Francis.

OK mate I respect your position for not naming your contact who sounds like a gobshite anyway. He could hardly be as important as our title winning manager though.

Yes I accept that it is important to keep the decision makers on side but the Barca Boys were always going to want their own man so trying to win over Txiki and Ferran would have been a futile pursuit in this particular case.

It clearly time to move on. Singing the MP song was clearly the highlight from Saturday.

we KNOW that bob was a loon, but he was our loon and a winning loon.

But was he "our" loon? The owners and executive had made it clear what they expected from him in terms of working with his fellow senior employees and the plan they wanted to follow. If you're an executive and your board and CEO expect you to work a certain way, which they had agreed was the best for the medium and long-term, then you go off and ignore them and don't deliver, what would you expect to happen?

If you send two of your lads out on a job and tell them exactly what you want doing and one says to the other "Fuck what he wants, I'm doing it my way" and then they cock it up, would you be happy?
