There should be no doubt that the sharpest football mind in the club is Mancini - not Marwood, not Khaldoon and not Sheikh Mansour.
Mancini should be listened to above all others in these matters. Not sure why we need Marwood.
If Khaldoon is too busy with his other business matters then we need a CEO who can work with Mancini - it may not be Marwood's fault, but it is clear that Mancini either doesn't respect him or doesn't like him and is seemingly unable to work with him. Marwood certainly seems to be struggling in both directions - in and out.
Wonder if he proposed selling Mario and taking the money to fund RVP? That would certainly have been the 'easy option', but with Ade and Crocky still on the books I can imagine Mancini hitting the roof over that...
This is an issue that needs resolving, but there is no need to panic, and it certainly seems that panicking is not the style in Abu Dhabi. Sure we will sign at least one, but if we don't we still have the best squad in the comp, and a realistic chance to go far in the CL - don't understand these people who are saying we don't. We'd need a little luck, but all teams do... We'll never eradicate the need for luck.
