That's just the thing with Bridge he actually gives no reason why he hates him regarding himself, Just repeatedly states his absolute Hatred of Bobby. In fact he said he got on with him at the start then he seen an incident with Bellamy where Mancini told him to shut up on the training pitch and sent him home.Both propositions can quite easily co-exist. Maybe he was a **** to Bridge, but he tore that fucking banner down, so I can live with it!

Maybe it was the general way he was treated, rather than a specific incident. A manager and a man like Mancini is always going to royally piss some people off; that’s sort of why the club hired him in the first place. It’s not reasonable to expect everyone to kowtow to that MO if they’ve been on the receiving end of it. At the end of the day Roberto, delivered on his brief and imo, as City fans, any collateral damage should be met with a shrug of the shoulders rather than any self-righteous indignation (not you btw) at the musings of a disgruntled former employee. In any event, Bridge has got enough to compensate him for his troubles!That's just the thing with Bridge he actually gives no reason why he hates him regarding himself, Just repeatedly states his absolute Hatred of Bobby.

He said Machini had no time for players who were injured and would treat them poorly.That's just the thing with Bridge he actually gives no reason why he hates him regarding himself, Just repeatedly states his absolute Hatred of Bobby.

I sort of suspect that when Pep moves on it'll come out in years to come that some players didn't much like him. These people are not hired to make friends, but to get 100% out of the handsomely paid players in the employ of the club. They themselves are handsomely paid to do it. Ferguson is a prize c***, but he delivered on that, no two ways about it.
If they can become friendly with certain players in the process, all well and good. But it's secondary. Really.

If only Bridge had put so much effort into training his other foot.

I don't think Pep would win any popularity contests with any players who have ever worked with him. He is a relentless boss who is never satisfied. He must be nightmare to work for day-in and day-out. But he has driven on teams to incredible achievements and taken players to levels they never knew they could reach. The best players respect him.I sort of suspect that when Pep moves on it'll come out in years to come that some players didn't much like him.

Mancini's job was to shake up City from top to bottom and disrupt the cosy atmosphere. He wasn't there to be "Mr Nice Guy." Some of our players and staff had been taking the piss out of our club for decades. Anyone who used to go into Manchester in the 80s and 90s at night will have seen some of the tossers who wore the City shirt but took the club for a ride. That was still happening under the pathetic reign of Mark Hughes but Mancini changed our history.
