Ha ha ha.
Whilst I was replying to your insults you deleted them. Smooth.
What I had written in response to your original post in which you called me delusional and a fantasist was that there are enough people on this board who have both met me, and spent enough time with me to know what I'm all about - so forgive me if I don't care whether you think I'm a credible poster or not...
Mancio - I really genuinely think Mancini is a top class manager. I have said that from the day he was appointed. Both in public, and in pm's to the few people from here I chat with privately. With respect to my posts about him being a "negative" manager, or complaining about his tactics or team selection...it's natural and what messageboards are here for. Venting, chatting, discussing, whatever. I'm not a football coach nor a manager, so my opinion is just my uninformed opinion.

I deleted the post as I though better of being drawn into name calling on what is otherwise a very pleasant evening.
Still interested in why you think Mancini will not be given the same transfer policy as Hughes.

I'm not saying that they'd dictate 100%, but certainly the manager wouldn't be given carte blanche Huhges was given. Probably a compromise where the manager never has a player he doesn't want imposed upon him, but must have the approval of the appointed director before any player can be signed.

this is the Italian way , mancini is accustomed to.
just a question mate , who do you think is the most football/players expert actually at City ? I mean... who more than mancini is ?
and another , why may be so difficult to you to deal with the fact that mancini actually IS the owner's man/side ?

To be honest I'm just giving my opinion on how I think the owners are approaching the long term future of the club. It's nothing personal about Mancini, just a business decision. Owners are expected to shell out tens of millions of euros for players. It stands to reason that they will want a say in where the money goes.

Billy, do you think they learnt from the Robinho thing? Buying a really BIG name is good as a symbol of intent, but it can also bring some other problems with it.

I don't think it's about imposing players upon the manager Sharon, that's the key. It's more about making sure that as owners they have a veto. My personal opinion, the direct result of the Santa Cruz and Lescott signings.
