Considering his record in europe I guarantee you he wont be on it.

I think they need somebody that can get them to compete in the league first.

True, but Real's problems could be that they are putting all their emphasis on winning this seasons Champions League. I like Mancini and you cannot argue with his achievements at City, but there is always a nagging doubt that he can still improve on the European Stage and thats what got him the sack from Inter.
In fairness to Mancini, he left Inter in 2008 and Mourinho did not win the Champs League until 2010. By this time, the squad, whilst still having players like Maicon, Julio Cesar and Zanetti who continued to flourish, had been changed quite considerably by Mourinho. He'd got rid of Ibrahimovic for a phenomenal fee and brought in:

Eto'o - E,20m
Motta - E,10.2m
Milito - E,28m
Sneijder - E,18m
Lucio - E,8m

So there were some quite big changes to personnel in order to win what he did.

No arguements on that it took Mourinho a couple of seasons to master the Champions League with Inter. Mancini is a perfect fit for now, and I don't see him being replaced in the Summer, but as for the future that is still open to debate.

Seems the rumours of Mourinho's demise have been somewhat exagerated. Cracking up is he? Lost the dressing room has he? Fallen out with Ronaldo has he? Wouldn't put it past him to win the CL and make you all look very silly as well as bitter.
I think your right mate
Good win last night puts them right back in the mix
Only 15 behind now

The bookies clearly think La Liga is wide open.
Barca are 1/25,and Real are 33/1.

One win and he can suddenly win everything including the champions league

Considering they will still have Xavi & Iniesta pulling the strings, regardless of losing Messi, 15pts is too much for Madrid to capitalise on.

I prefer to call it 12 though, as I see them beating Barca at the Bernabeu.
