Roberto Mancini

[Bill]

He isn't even our manager any more and we still cant have a discussion about him

rare i hear city fans doing this. well the real ones anyway.

the haters keep bringing the guy up so people who recognise his achievemnets here defend him, and rightly so.
in a nutshell we have moved on, the club has moved on, the haters haven't.

No real shame in losing 1-0 to the previous winners of the competition, away from home, in the last minute; who are also third in the league.

Not like it was a Serie B team at home after all.

How the fuck did it come to this?

Someone who claims to be a fan of our club sneering at his own club's result, in support of the manager of a lesser club.

I mean, in a sane world that comment could only come from a fan of one our rivals, bitter in defeat.

Apologies if you are in fact an Inter or United fan, but the 15K posts makes me assume you aren't.

Dave you couldn't be more wrong fella

I've never been involved with any of the old Mancini arguments as I wasn't bothered when he left. I also remember you PMing me after someone started the 'happy losers' thread as I'd made it clear in that thread that Pellegrini was doing a great job and that despite the 'happy losers' title that some were labelling us I was still firmly behind Pellegrini, so at no point have I ever made it clear that I'm a Mancini flag waver

It was a simple question as to why a handful of people clearly don't like Mancini, and I can't get my head round why, but despite the question I'm genuinely not bothered what the reasons are I just find it baffling

It's quite simple Chris. You're not allowed to still like him and compare him to the current incumbent. Any attempt to do so will be met with the usual belittling condescension and treated as treason against the "owners" wishes.

The current incumbent is called Manuel "stop gap" Pellegrini in case you were unsure.

The "owners" btw are the actual owners. The ones who hire, fire, etc. maybe one day that'll sink in and you'll stop acting like five posters on Bluemoon who didn't think the sun shone out of the Italian's arse were the ones who decided his fate.

Didn't think the sun shone out of his arse - many, many faults, but I liked him and respected what he achieved and was trying to do. I also respect and admire many things about Pellegrini and his achievenments last year and the way he conducts himself.
Why though have you appointed yourself as the some sort of Pellegrini and Owners enforcer that has to wipe out all attempts at comparison or peoples individual preferences, taking any criticism or questioning as if it were a personal insult. I'm sure both Pelle and the Owners have thicker skins and understand how fans will constantly question and critique.
Of course the owners hire and fire, that's their perogative, so thanks for the lesson in business structures, but are you saying that because of this there can't be discussion and debate no matter how futile?
You seem to have Bluemoon confused with North Korea when it comes to peoples views differing from yours.
And I preferred you when you were Billy!

Not at all.

Firstly, the initial bump of this thread was one of spite, of that there is zero doubt.

Secondly, the reply that I quoted was also one of spite and sarcasm.

Lastly, when we were unfortunate enough to exit a similar competition as to the one Inter were knocked out of the two posters in question did not sneer at the manager, did they? No, they challenged those who did. So why then make the effort to belittle one manager and not the other?

Inter Milan lost away from home to the team third in the same division, hardly a result worth snide, sarcastic and unnecessary comments towards anyone at the club, is it? Unless of course, some just like a cheap shot.

So when put into context i.e. we lost in a similar competition to a team far lesser than ourselves, yet the same posters didn't respond in a similar fashion, then I think it's fair to like I said, put it in context; perhaps look a little closer to home before laughing at others.

This Pellegrini/Mancini "thing" is not black and white like you and so many paint it. I appreciate everything Mancini did for us and wish him nothing but success. I also love what Pellegrini has done and hope he's here for quite some time.

I don't agree with snide, cheap shots (especially in this instance when there is no real shame in the result) at a former manager or anyone associated with the club for no reason.

My comment is not one to diminish the current manager or promote another in his favour but to highlight the hypocrisy, short memories and childishness of others; yourself for one.

After all, how did it come to this? So called supporters celebrating the defeats of one of the club's most successful managers? Not even Inter as a team, no, it was "Bobster" that was knocked out.

Well said pudge,it's about time some people grow up

 

[Sir peace frog]

fucking loved mancini when he was our manager ,and still very fond of the bloke and wish him all the very best in whatever he does except when hes up against city

I find pellegrini abit boring(pressers) for want of a better word,however he obviously is a very good football coach and a very decent man and if he carries on making city challenge for honours im more than happy for him to continue


why people have to have a go at pellers/mancini is beyond me

Being exposed yet again

For fuck's sake!

Give the man a chance.

Inter are obviously in a mess, they wouldn't be in the bottom half of Serie A if they weren't, and Bobby has been brought in to try to sort it out. He took time to get things right at City; no doubt it will take him time to get things back on track at Inter.

And whatever you - or anyone - might think of Benitez, he's a very good coach, and his team isn't going to roll over just because it's up against one coached by Mancini.
