Would prefer it if youd cut and pasted the story tbh....dont want to klick on them and up there count so to speak.
ROBERTO MANCINI has had an amazing bust-up with one of his backroom team.
Manchester City's football administrator Brian Marwood was forced to intervene after boss Mancini threatened to fire physio Jamie Murphy.
Mancini is furious with City's medical department over the club's crippling injury list. He laid into Murphy, a popular figure with City's players, just hours before their Carling Cup defeat against West Brom.
The row on Tuesday was so heated that at one stage Murphy believed that he would not be travelling to the Hawthorns.
But Marwood has acted as peacemaker in the incredible dispute and Murphy continues to work at the club.
Despite yesterday's excellent result, City still have a number of star players on the injured list.
Left-back Alexsandr Kolarov, signed from Lazio in the summer, has been caught in the crossfire.
Kolarov has been wearing a protective ankle boot after surgery, but the club received a letter this week from his specialist.
The surgeon is no longer willing to take responsibility for Kolarov's rehabilitation after City put pressure on him to return.
Only last week £170,000- a-week striker Emmanuel Adebayor was involved in a row at the training ground with Mancini over the timescale for his return.
Adebayor showed a scan of his torn thigh muscle to the City manager as proof that he couldn't play.
The City striker finally returned to action yesterday as a late substitute for Carlos Tevez. City have a lengthy injury list, with Wayne Bridge, Mario Balotelli and Micah Richards all crocked.
Joleon Lescott was instructed to train last week despite a long-standing problem with his knees.
Lescott was on the bench yesterday and Jerome Boateng recovered from a knee injury to appear as substitute.
A City insider said: "The lads love Murphy and believe he has one of the best medical departments in the Premier League.
"Mancini and him just don't see eye to eye and it all blew up. The manager told Murphy 'we're done' - he thought he'd been sacked.
"As usual Marwood had to sort it all out."

if you get a bunch of players who are just money motivated then you must expect them to sit back and take the wages.dont get me wrong there are players at city that would play on if their leg was hangining off but the players that arent getting a fair crack arent going to rush back to sit on the bench.if this guy murphy has any self respect hell jack it in and leave them in the lurch.I seem to remember this happened at chelsea just before the the end of the mourino era and the club doctor at the time quit!!! too much money=no patience just patients ha ha

What a load of rubbish! More than likely taken out of context if anything at all, how a newspaper can get such information is beyond me, total rubbish.

Sorry one last thing - if we were all earning £170,000- a-week - I am sure 99% of us in the real world would just learn to keep quite and shut our mouths, I would take being rollicked every day at work for that sort of money and come back for more. Some of these footballers are just prima donnas.

Mancini's frustration is not with the players or the staff per say, he is trying to change the mentality at City. it has been ok for years to say "oh well, we've got injuries, oh well we tried, oh well maybe we'll have a cup run this year." He believes you make your own luck and wants a sense of professionalism through the club. Everyone preparing to win and not making excuses. United as a club decided with plenty of criticsm to allow Fergie to run the club. Wenger runs the club. The press in a couple of years and be praising Mancini. he is single minded and will not accept anything but fact to change his mind. City will finish in the top four comfortably, but that won't be good enough for mancini, never mind the board.

as lon time inter fan i can tell you mancini had the same issues with the inter staff - he's very impatient with injuries and forced players to player whilst injured and one time he kept a limping viera on the field rather than sub him. Also negative note was his handling of goalkeepers....

More Mancini Ignorance - it is well known more players get injured in the EPL than any other league, our games are much faster and most certainly more physical, bring these together and hey presto Injuries, and this coming from a manager who fielded a player in the Carling cup with number 62 on his back, this is a squad where a 20 Million pound player Santa Cruz cannot make it into the squad - look at yourself Mancini and rotate your players and match them against your opponents strengths and weaknesses like everyone else does whether it be on Hackney marshes or at Anfield

Jimmy, Kent. You obviously have no idea about injuries - you can't force players back too early. Just look at the constant injuries the likes of Torres, Gerrard, Owen etc suffer from being forced to play constantly not fit
These things take time to rectify themselves - any physio worth his money will stand up to this rubbish

jimmy, im sure the physio is doing his best to rehabilitate the players... im sure he doesnt want the players to remain injured
