I cannot see what City have possibly gained by dismissing Mancini tonite ..... if it had to be done why not do it after the final two fixtures ?
Or was it simply 'payback' in an attempt to overshadow the rags parade tonite , in reply to Fergies retirement announcement just prior to our cup final ?
It may have escaped the Barca duos notice , but we still need one more point !
Surely the guy deserved a decent send off ?
This was a City manager that Fergie actually respected , and there haven't been too many of those .... he knew that Mancini was a threat he couldn't ignore .
Let's hope that the club know what they're doing , because this decision will be an unpopular one with AT LEAST half our support , and probably more .....
