Time To Back The Manager...

[OB1]

All the signs are that City's owners would have liked to get Jose in and would have had no qualms about axing Bobby to get Jose. It would also appear that they are quite prepared to wait and see what further success Bobby brings, or doesn't, before they give him a new contract. What is unclear is whether they would ditch Bobby if he won the league and Jose then became available. Mourinho has made much play of building a dynasty in his next job, so going for him would not be an intentionally short-term move. Mourinho is a better manager than Mancini but whether the gap between them is wide enough to justify a change, if it were a viable option, is an interesting debate. I just hope that Mancini continues to improve as a manager and brings the trophies to City that keep him in the job for many years to come.

Chelsea are a prime example of what chopping and changing managers can cause.

If we sacked Bobby, having won the Premier League this season, we would be a laughing stock.

I agree.

Has also demonstrated Mourinho was the right man after all!

Yes but they were stupid enough to sack Jose and replace him with a series of worse managers. If City were to replace Mancini with Mourinho, the Hughes to Mancini to Mourinho would represent an upgrade path.

This makes me confused.

Mourinho for all his "best manager in the world" tags, cannot topple Barcelona with shed loads of money.

We are in the process of building this super duper academy complex with the aim of producing our own £30m players, similar to Barcelona.

Wherever Mourinho has gone he has never given chances to youth, instead preferring to spend massive amounts of money on ready made players to make his CV impressive.

It is impossible to win every year, if we are going to swap and change the manager every time he doesn't win what is the point in building this super duper academy?

For players to come through you need patience, trust, familiarity and opportunities, how is a manager supposed to have patience and trust to give a young player an opportunity when he knows that one mistake could cost him his job?

JC, you appear to be confusing opinion/view with agenda?

As anyone posted " some of our fans hope we don't win the league this year as they want Mancini sacked " yet

An upgrade? I wouldnt take Mourinho over Mancini, i wouldnt say its an upgrade at all.

Why the talk about sacking Mancini anyways? If he delivers us the title this season, the contract will be waiting for him, and i for one would be happy to see him sign it.

were finally a stable club, with a manager who has his own team, and its showing now, changing of managers shouldnt be brought up.

A debate on Guardiola's attributes outside of Barcelona would be a decent yarn.

Pep would be a huge success at City, IMO. Guardiola inherited a great situation at Barca but has still done a magnificent job. His bold tactics this season go to demonstrate a superior football brain at work.
