Alternatively, the club could wake up to the fact that Mancini's style has caused this group of players to down tools, that he is the root cause of the "can't be arsed" attitude, and get rid of him, rather than make wholesale and unnecessary change to the playing staff.
I've always backed Mancini, but performances over the previous three months have been unsatisfactory at best. Saturday was the straw that broke the camels back.
I don't particularly agree with the way it has been handled by the club, but what counts now is that the correct man for the job is appointed as swiftly as possible, any business in the transfer market is concluded as early as possible, and Manchester City Football Club go into the serious business of preparing for next season professionally.
If this business is allowed to drag on, with individuals at all levels of the club retaining bitterness close to the surface, then we will go into next season far worse of than I think we did go into this.
I've heard a lot of people call for stability. With Mancini involved in the club beyond this week there can be no stability.
