Agree with most of that, but would say that just because Sheikh Mansour is extraordinarily wealthy, and has been extraordinarily good for MCFC, that doesn't mke him immune from criticism. But I don't think he has made a mistake herecptaidan88 said:

Firstly we are not Chelsea. I think I am right in saying he was the 4th longest serving manager in the league. Feel free to correct me, the precise position is irrelevant to the point that this was not knee-jerk.
I would have happily continued with Mancini for next season but it is clear from the outside looking in that he has lost important elements of the dressing room. I don't think we are aware to what extent it had deteriorated yet either. I await those stories over the next few weeks.
Some of my sympathy for him is lost (but not all) in remembering the circumstances in which he took over. Whilst the suggestion of him being in the stadium is false, he had agreed to take over whilst Hughes was still in charge. Whilst we had drawn too many games, we had only lost twice and got to a semi final for the first time in my lifetime. Had Hughes not earned the right to see the season out? Well in my opinion no, but there are comparable similarities between then and now. In the end the board made the right decision.
Why do many feel they deserve the right to argue with this decision? You can argue we wouldnt have won the FA Cup in 2011, or the League last year without Mancini but I offer you a 100% guarantee we wouldnt have won them without Sheik Mansour. Without him we may not exist. I have 100% trust in him and the board to make the right decision and if they believe this is the way forward, I support it fully. Some comments on here are preposterous.
Mancini has contributed in providing me with some of the best moments of my life and that can never be taken away. He has my eternal gratitude and admiration and I wish him luck wherever he goes.
Stop flapping. More amazing memories will come.
Good post.

You have to feel for them mate, they have a terrible job where they work long hours and get paid meager salaries. Who could work in those conditions?
Most likely new manager will be better than Mancini. That is not that much hard to achieve.Impeccable One said:Don't want to start another Mancini/Manager thread, but want to look on the bright side.
Will our new manager, who ever he is;
- get the best from Dzeko
- get consistency from Silva, Nasri & Yaya
- get Aguero back to his best
- convince Tevez his future is at City
- get a pot of money for some marque signings
Anything else ?
Agreed. It's reprehensible on every level. There's no need for that kind of nonsense.<br /><br />-- Mon May 13, 2013 8:57 pm --<br /><br />MSP said:uwe282828 said:President set.

This on the other hand... Wow. Yeah. It'll be super easy to do better than taking a team that hasn't won a trophy in 35 years and leading them to the two biggest domestic titles in the world.Jaques said:Most likely new manager will be better than Mancini.

The start of a new era, which i'm excited about.
I can't wait, the freedom the players wanted and they now have.
Let the Barca men do their thing, let a new manager come in and does his stuff.
IMO with the right man brought in, i believe this will only stabilise and not destabilise the team.

He will get time because of the Barca chaps

We were indeed enjoying a descent three years.. and we had descended as far as I wanted to go, with the team unable to get prepared for an FA Cup final. Thankfully, we've reached the bottom and the new king can help us rise up again.
