Roberto Mancini

[melrose40yarder]

As someone else said, the right man at the right time. I will always love him, despite what happened at the end, and I will always be happy when he does well. I would rather England had won the game last night but it felt good seeing Roberto under the Wembley arch, smiling with tears in his eyes and with a trophy in hand once more. He's back on the map after a few years in the wilderness and I wish him all the best.

You asked the questions with the tone that Mancini could of done what Peps done, otherwise it wouldn’t be mentioned. Could any manager have done what Mancini done with his huge backing? Mancini lost a cup final to fucking Wigan, it shows the many variables in winning a knock out competition, like our failings in the champions league, no manager performed as badly as Mancini in that competition though. If doing what Peps done for us was so easy I’m insure why no manager of any other team has done it before.

Yeh - on the day it was leaked we had sorted his replacement out

That debacle stands squarely at the door of the club and the players................

Ha, no I asked the question. You clearly struggle to have an unbiased debate where those 2 are concerned. I love both so I’m quite content. Circumstances change regarding Europe though. For example look how shite most major nations are currently compared to 10 years ago. Look how shite the traditional top European sides are and have been for a few years Bayern aside.

Also glad Pep wouldn’t lose an FA Cup match to fucking Wigan

You think the man who couldn’t get out of the group stages would have won it? Bold that. You have now downplayed all peps achievements that anyone can do what he’s done with his backing. Makes me laugh that like Mancini wasnt backed massively. Spent a fucking bomb but I wouldn’t be stupid enough to say any manager could have done what he done with that backing.

Get over yourself, have a good look at the groups we ended up in when Roberto was in charge.

No its you that read something into a comment, which frankly wasn't there to be read.

As you clearly misread, it was to show how winning a cup competition isn’t as easy as you’re making out with Pep and the champions league. Losing that game wasn’t a knock against Mancini, many circumstances why we lost it but it was to address a point. If it’s a debate then fair enough, I answered your question that Mancini wouldn’t have won what Peps won or added a champions league. The main fact being no manager ever has done what Peps done so I’m really surprised if anyone thinks someone else could so easily. Seems you’re just a question master without any input or opinion then. Fair enough.

Why would you ask “do you not think Mancini would have won what Peps won or the champions league” if you’re not thinking it yourself?

As champions of England to then not win a single group game, some would call that a bit of a failure. I’m not here to bash Mancini, some are deluded though thinking he’d win the CL which is madness considering his record in it.
