Mercer, Mancini, Book, Horton and Royle.
The only City managers ever worthy of 'brown nosing' in my opinion.
Now back to Pep....

Nowt wrong with that,but while i do think you are right to highlight Peps faults,i also believe you owe him much more credit.

I owe him nothing. He's just a bloke doing a job.
He's done it well for the last few years but dropped a bollock in Porto when it really mattered for the owners.
He's earned the thick end of £50m since he arrived at City. I think that's more than enough 'credit' for anyone.

And yet you can see no wrong in an egomaniac,that was on course to implode our club,beyond favouring Balotelli too much.
C'mon....youre better than that.

Yeah,i didt think Billy was a **** back then....
Bobby was the most ideal manager at the most ideal time. Any longer in the manager's chair and things might have gone south quickly, considering how many people inside the club had grown to dislike him. But for the time we had him, he was absolutely the right man for the job. When he came in we were still a bit of a laughing stock - the club with more money than sense - but by the time he left we were set up to be the most successful club in England over the 2010s. My favourite City manager of all time.
There's definitely the sense, though, between Mancini and the club, that we were each other's first loves. His time with us had all the hallmarks of the first relationship to break your heart when you're a teenager. When we were together it was so brilliant and felt so passionate and electric in the way only high school relationships can be, so we ignored all the major issues we were having in the hopes that they'd go away... Until they blew up in our faces. Then one of us had to make the hard decision to break up, and there's been a bit of resentment and a sense of unfinished business ever since.
We'd love to call him up and see how he's doing, and it stings a bit when we see him flourishing with somebody else and wonder what could have been if things hadn't gone wrong, but we know it's for the best that we resist the temptation to reach out and remember that it's best if we carry on down our own paths.

Wow, this one:I've just searched on your user name and "Mancini" and it was hilarious, although quite saddening in lots of ways to see the pure and unadulterated blind adoration you had for him and then your distress when he got find out.
This one's a good one and perfect for this thread. I don't recall ever seeing so much delusion and misjudgement crammed into one single conversation.
Another Guardiola Rumour - The Sun.
my opinion on this is that pep is signing for bayern for 3 years then after them 3 years he will go to united. My opinion is that he'll fail to achieve anything of any note at Bayern and will be back at Barcelona before you know it. Thank God he didn't 'choose' to come to us....
