Mourhino is on his way to City.....

As for me being owned, I've already been vouched for. Like I said 'I know the problem, ill fix it'. 1 point v Ajax.

I keep reading this quote and wondering are we really being asked to judge Mancini's overall capability as a manager on two games versus a Dutch side?

Certainly not although those results were poor - just look at Ajax's season since then. They're out of the Europa League already thanks to the mighty Steaua Bucharest.

You have to judge a manager over time and Mancini's European record is damning up until now and in a state of regression.

If you're Soriano and Begiristain looking at that, knowing the club you're in charge of needs progress in Europe to increase revenue and build the brand, do you see nothing to worry about?

Fascinating thread.

In that case, if I was Soriano and Begiristain, I would be looking at the current manager whose overall win ratio during his time in charge is almost 59%, whose list of achievements in England includes the FA Cup and Premier League Trophy in three years, whose current team is 2nd in the league and in the quarter finals of the FA Cup again with a very good chance of progressing.

I would temper that with the European record where we were very unlucky not to qualify from the group having amassed 10 points and the following campaign where, clearly we should have done a lot better, but being drawn against the champions of Spain, Germany and Holland, it was always going to be tough. I would also look at us being 12 points behind in the league and think "it's not impossible to win, but not really likely" and I would then conclude, like I would imagine most rational people:

Mancini stays for another season and we review again at that end of that one.

Thank fook for that! Sometimes I wonder if it's me that's losing it?
