Mancini's future

[mackenzie]

posters maintain the argument that mancini should of known better and kept it all behind closed doors. He has exhausted this avenue time and time again, and look where its got him with tevez. Forza Mancini.

I understand that assumption.
But how do you know what went on before, behind closed doors?

So you don't believe Mancini has tried to get on top of this behind closed doors before?

I don't know either way, but an educated guess ( and that is all any of us can do) is that he wasn't happy and tried to.
All I'm saying is that we need to get a 'siege mentality' at City. We need to stop playing right into the hands of the media and Mancini needs to curb that volatility and wise up.
If any Manager of ours has to resort to publicly going controlled apeshit in front of a camera just to get rid of a primadonna twat then that isn't good.
Is that what you are inferring happened here?

does anyone think this whole saga might effect his position??

i know we all want him to stay but does anyone feel this saga might either make or break him at mcfc??

If the club back him to the hilt, as they should do in my opinion, he will be in the position that his job demands. He is the boss and players need to respect this

Really hope Mancini comes out on this one. On other forums they seem to think that Mancini will lose the dressing room and crash out of Europe like he did at Inter. They still think Mourinho is nailed on to succeed Mancini if he fails at Real.

Why the f*** would we want a manager who fails at Madrid, the club who can buy whoever they want.

He is also winding everyone up in Spain, he has divided Madrid support with his antics just like he did at Inter. Frankly we can do without it.

Lucky for us that we have a manager who winds no-one up and unites the supporters, eh?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. With the benefit of it we should have made more effort to offload Tevez in the summer.

In hindsight Mancini should maybe have kept his counsel in front of the cameras.

But neither of those things happened and we'll probably have to let Tevez go for less than we might have got this summer.

There's no doubt the board will back Mancini over this so hopefully we can start to put it to bed this Saturday then get on with the rest of what should be an exciting season. And if anyone can get anything anti-Mancini out of that then good luck to you.

You just said Mancini should have kept his counsel in front of the cameras. Clearly anti-Mancini imo :-).

i'm with bob, he said what was needed to be said. lets face it there are some old managers and even now some fans who would have lamped tevez for refusing to play.

Is it just me or was replacing Dzeko with De Jong not one of the wierdest substitutions when you are 2-0 down. 2-0 up fine, but is there anyone who did not think "What the hell is that about". If there was ever a need for Carlos Tevez to show the other players a bit of movement, rather than the slow paced drifting round the pitch they had done, it was then.

He probably confused everyone so maybe Dzeko got angry, Tevez what the fuck is going on here and the manager caused confusion. I was incredibly confused watching on TV and seeing a striker replaced by a defensive midfielder and then a midfielder replaced with a defender. I now realise Tevez may have been the main cause but confusing substitutons do not help.

I got a gut feeling Mancini's name will be well and truly belted out at Rovers.

I hope so.

How could we have made more effort to offload Tevez in the summer, PB?

I'm glad he said it. Put the little weasel in the spotlight and under the cosh just as he deserves.
