You might be right mate. My argument has always been that Mancini has taken us far as he can, he's simply not good enough.
Certainly not better than Mourinho. But I won't compromise my beliefs and hatred for that fucking club.
Jose and his people have approached our club very recently about our job.
I can't reconcile this with what I saw and listened to last night, though. I fear we are treading a well word path once more.
Jose wanting to be all things to all people, keeping his options open. That's fine, and it's his call.
But not at the expense of City. Both sides of the ongoing debate can tailor to see fit.
People said Jose was auditioning for the City job not long ago, when he talked about working with pressure, a sheepish wave to our fans as we told him to 'fuck off Mourinho'.
He is becoming emboldened again by recent results and that makes him a dangerous individual to predict.
He showed all his genius last night by taking Arbeloa off when Nani saw red - he knew his own player was on a yellow and it could be evened up very quickly.
The introduction of Modric was spot on. Ferguson was too caught up in the emotion of it all for 17 minutes before he decided to act.
That's what makes him great.
Keane was at his pertinent best last night - along with his comments about the red card - he insisted Mourinho's comments didn't suit him, made him look weak.
Who knows. He's a complex character.
But as you say, he totally outwitted Ferguson last night and overall in the two legs. Even 11 v 11, and with Madrid not playing that well, I felt they would win comfortably. They way they KO'd them with that 15 minute spell after the goal was incredible, and I felt they would go on and get a bagful on the break - which they could have done.
What I do know is that if he ends up at Old Trafford and we stick with Mancini you can say goodbye to that nice shiny premier league trophy for years to come.
You don't know anything of the sort - you are merely speculating on a hypothetical scenario and stating an opinion.
As you were when you stated that Zabaleta wasn't up to scratch,and that your multi millionaire mate told you that Platt called the substitutions,so clearly we can take such opinions with a pinch of salt.
Or half of Siberia.
I understand that it must be hard to accept that the King Across The Water has made himself look foolish in such a public manner,and is probably destined for the rags or Chelsea,but to claim that it means an inevitably barren Championship wilderness for City is just groundless hyperbole.
