He's here now and people like me need to get over mancini and get behind him but what is this record people like you allude to? Just to remind you he's won one trophy in europe, that was 10 years ago and it was the intertoto cup.
He may turn out to be a great manager, he certainly seems like a classy guy but it's understandable the press are asking what's this guy actually won when some city fans are asking the same.

Perhaps we need need another Alan Ball - at least he had medals he could put on the table eh?

I think its fair to say medals won as a player mean fuck all in management.
The press would be treating the rag situation differently had they sacked ferguson and installed gollum but as it appears he was fergusons choice for manager they are still a bit scared of upsetting the senile old twat, old habits die hard I guess.
What will be interesting though is their reaction when gollum goes through a rough patch, I can't wait to see gollum under some real pressure!

Not only that but it's a hugely competitive league and he managed River Plate who are a huge club who can get nearly 70,000 for some games. Some people act like football doesn't exist anywhere else in the world but the Brazilian and Argentinian leagues are big.

Yeah , i take your point , but the fact is that most of South Americas true stars tend to play in Europe (or want to) , and it's there where players , or managers , are really judged .....
the bottom line is that Pellegrini now has to follow , and hopefully improve on , the managerial record of Mancini in this country , which has been pretty good ...... he can change the style of play all he wants , but at the end of the day if he fails to win trophies he'll go exactly the same way as the guy who DID win a few trophies !
