He needs to stick to washing socks. Its refreshing to hear Sergio speak highly of bobby in his book.

Even if Mancini was a **** in the end and various players didn’t like him for it I still don’t give a fuck. We wouldn’t be where we are now without the foundations he laid.
Right man, right time and he’ll always be held in the highest regard by me.

 

[SWP's back]

2 sides to every story and both deserve the right to be heard,only one is boosting his pension talking about it and showing he can't let things from 4 yrs ago go

He’s talking about Mancini falling out with the players. It’s true, they did fall out. It’s why Mancini was ultimately sacked. When several players that formed the spine went to Khaldoon and said ‘it’s him or us’.

Chapman is being interviewed and asked questions, I’m not sure why his answers upset anyone.

No one is asking you to think any different. But I’m not sure why people are still so precious about it. I love what he did for City but I can accept he must have been a bit of a **** to work under/with.

Because he keeps repeating the same things 4 years on,he can say no more questions about mancini anytime he wants,he doesn't because it's kerching to him,i remember shears going off the deep end when bobby did a short interview after he left,he said he should keep his gob shut or words to that effect,he could respond everytime chappie talks about him as he would have a right to but he is a grown up who has moved along

I couldn't get past the clumsy grammar and poor punctuation of the first paragraph.

I like Ronay’s writing a lot. He’s often really funny and has a great turn of phrase.
That being said how about these for quotes from this piece to make us happy?

“They [City] are .. unavoidably likeable....
..they are also unavoidably fun, compelling, nice, watchable.......they play with a real lightness of touch......a team this fun can even redeem another one-horse title race if that is the way we are headed.....something has been built here....there is already something beautiful...something that is still somehow uplifting and pure”

F*** me - never thought I would read something like that about us

Well tbf if Chappy is making comments (in an interview, granted) then it’s only right that blues should make their views known on the content of said comments.
If the subject was never brought up again I wouldn’t lose any sleep.

What’s he going to say? “I didn’t lose the dressing room”? He won’t as he did.

No idea why you’re so thin skinned over it.

Thin skinned no,he was a **** we all know that,just move on 4 yrs later,it seems to be all chappy has to get attention

He can't let it go. Ive heard him first hand. I am trying to work out though the whole tevez saga was 100% down to bobby. No blame at all to Carlos chappy is saying. All Mancini.

Listen we know he was a fucker and his time was up. But ffs i wish the gurning face pulling twat would stfu.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Chappy's a fine one to talk. He also completely lost the dressing room when he used no-bio detergent by mistake, which as everyone knows is shit at removing grass stains etc..

 

[foggy1974]

maybe as its one of Chappys former clubs and its the first time that we have played them at their gaff in the league, the interviewer wanted something a bit edgy to get his interview in the papers (nothing sells better than a bit of City bashing), The players loved Chappy because he is mad as a box of frogs, just watch his youtube videos.
Mancini was loved by the fans and still is,did everything he said he would do including ripping that banner down.Oh and winning us the league, let bygones be bygones and remember the good times.

Nailed it in one, Bobby is still working where as Chappy is doing interviews for the Daily Mail on the only thing anyone is slightly interested in.

That’s bollocks. chappie is 69 for a start and still employed by the club.

By that logic, Moyes is more successful than Ferguson as Moyes is still employed.

I will always view Moyes as being more successful than Ferguson!

 

[city2]

Mancini will be remembered long after the kit man for what he did for city end of.

 

[franksinatra]

Fair play to Chappy he has made a decent career out of being the class clown and behaving like an adolescent to entertain a load of footballers and at times thats exactly what is required.

But its clear as day in his comments on Tevez why he stayed a kit man and never managed at the top level like Bobby. Clearly Tevez questioned and then refused to follow the managers instructions and pretty much any industry thats not accepted and would certainly not be accepted by any manager worth there salt like Pep, Conte etc. Chappy clearly does not understand that or that a snort of tabasco sauce up the nose just will not cut it.

Its clear he did fall out with players including Kompany which resulted from the club versus country row and sadly 4 years on that is still playing out at the club now and has resulted in similar arguments with Pellers etc.
Based on Kompanys continual injuries its difficult to argue he did not have a point.

I have no doubt in 5 years Yaya will not speak too highly of Pep but it will not effect my judgement of him as a manager, as like any other he will be judged on results alone.

3 years under Mancini produced our first trophy in 35 years, first ever qualification to Champs lge, first title in 44 years and in his worse season a cup final and 2nd place finish but no handshake for Chappy.

I mentioned the Tevez thing earlier mate. Chappie has really put the knife into Bobby regarding that incident. Not one fuckin ounce of blame has Chappie directed at Tevez. He's one bitter twat.

Tim Sherwood just said Uniteds problem is that all their attacking players would prefer to be playing down the road with the noisy neighbours!
