Aren't we all very very lucky to this man for our manager?

I mean, the guy is pure class, exemplary behaviour both on and off pitch, dresses well and takes good care of himself, treats fans and journalists with respect and patience.
And, as a manager there are a couple of things I'd like to high-light, and feel free to add any points if you feel there are more:

1) The way he always sweeps away non important stuff in press conferences (such as transfer rumours, supposed internal disputes and so on) , "it is not important" he says, and he is always right. Instead he talks about focus, concentration and winning mentality! The importance of working hard. Don't remember hearing such things from a previous manager.

2) He is without a shadow of a doubt, the man in charge, there can be no mistake about it. A player will never be able to intimidate Mr Mancini, that just wont happen. You will do it his way, follow his rules or you will be on your way out. That's the way it should be. And I have a feeling he is the same when speaking and negotiating with his chairman. It's his way, or no way. You have to respect that.

3) Remember how Hughes looked like when he was first interviewed together with Robinho? Well, you will never see our manager like that I'm sure of. He could be sitting besides any player(s) in the world, and he would not be star-struck, or feeling intimidated by a players potential status.
Today he was seated next to huge signing in Balotelli, or The Hammer, as he is now called I read, and when asked about how good he is or can be, his qualities, Mancini answers in a very controlled and dominant (in a good way) fashion. No big words, but instead careful and sound comments.

I think, and deeply hopes, he will be our manager for years and years to come. There is no one else I would rather have in his position and I am so grateful he chose us to work for.

Love you Mancini!!!
 
I am very glad he is our manager but his performance on and off the pitch is not exemplary....

Pushing Gollam (OK scratch that...)

Sending a player to play with the reserves because he wouldnt leave.

Picking JO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not talking to players, I consider Bellamy to be honest despite his faults.

I love the manager and hope he is the man to take our club forward...

Why are you no longer very impressive Mat? What's happened mate?

My missus told me she had been faking her orgasms for over ten years...

Nah, not really. I just thought it was too long of a user name.

Manci7y,

Pushing Gollum was beautiful!!

Sending a player to the reserve is the right thing to do, considering he already knew that particular player would not be a part of his team and would very soon end up in rivalling teams.

The Jo thing I can't really argue with... even the sun has it's spots you know.

If you meet a person on a daily basis, for over six months... you know you could just walk up to him and say "hey, do you have a minute to spare so we could speak sometime?". Plus, I'm sure they spoke all the time, but maybe not about the things Bellamy wanted to.

Bloody Hell Matt--------Sounds like he's the new Messiah!

Yes he has lots of the qualities you have highlighted but we've had a few managers who presented well on TV and with the public [eg Joe Royle--John Bond----not snappy dressers i admit] but they fairly relatively quickly were shown the door .We all know Ferguson's a ruthless twat but a very successful twat. Lets save the praises for Mancini until he has won something for us.
 
Why would anyone even start to doubt Mancini?
His buys have been impecable, however you view them all, they're flawless.
Vierra, free, extended his contract and the guys experience and winning mentality are worth whatever we give him a week.
Johnson, bargain of the decade, most uniquely tallented winger in Europe (potentially) and will no doubt be on a relatively low wage.
Boateng, another potential steal, cheap as chips for a cracking, strong ball winning centre half/full back, with the ability to cruise forward like a Gerrard.
Silva, fair price for a magician, maybe the best supportive midfield distibutor who laid so many goals on a plate for Villa it was a joke, great signing.
Kolarov, fair price for a player easily capable of being the best left back for the next 10 years and with the ability from set pieces to change games.
Yaya, fair price for the best enforcer since Vierra at his peak, with great vision and a shot to match, he is a born winner.
Add to this very impressive list his known targets and for the first time in 40 years we have a manager who buys or tries to buy the very best around and isn't apparently one to get ripped off either.
This fella knows the game inside out and judging by his ability to sort problem players, will not suffer fools.
I imagine when his feet had only just slipped into Hughes shoes, one or two tried it on and I'm pretty sure it will be them not he who pay the price.
He handles the media well and is quietly confident without ever appearing cocky or flippant, looks the part and clearly knows what he wants.
He is obviously held in high esteem by players who have played under him in the past (always a very good sign) and to me seems as good in his managerial abilities as the 'special one' but without the 'chip on the shoulder', 'toys out of the pram' side to his temperament.
For his age, this guy is possibly, pound for pound, the best manager in the world, and hopefully in ten years time he will be the most successful manager in our clubs history, with 20 years left to confirm us as the greatest club in the 21st Century.
 
The thing with Mancini is it is too early to tell whether he will be a great manager, an average one or a bad one. I have seen good things in respect of the defence last year which makes me hopeful. however i can see why some posters believe him to be too negative for the premiership although i am hoping that was as much to do with personel last season.

He now has his own team and once all the players are fully fit and he can pick what he sees as his best team, i think we will know within the first ten games of the season if he will be more attack minded. If he hasnt accumalated over 20 points by that stage he will be in trouble. In fact the next couple of weeks will show us how adventurous he is going to be.

To the Mancini sceptics you will not have to wait long to see if you are correct.

I am hoping he is intelligent enough to realise what it takes to compete at the top of the epl
 
He has a history as a player and manager of winning trophies and he is as hard as nails in pursuing success. That'll do for me...
