Ok guys and girls,
We've had a constant 18 months of being at each other's throats about Mark Hughes, and his management of our club. Everybody on the forum wishes that it could have ended a different way, but it didn't, so let's try and move on. I'm sure I speak for most, when I say thanks to Mark Hughes for everything that he has done, and good luck for the future.
At 4.30 today, our new manager holds his first press conference. Up until then, we can argue until we're blue in the face (hehe) about the decision to sack Hughes, the decision to appoint Mancini, and the way it was handled.
Nobody has the right to be slagging Mancini off. Maybe you think he was handed the cups at Inter, maybe you don't, maybe you think he is good enough, maybe you don't (wear sunscreen though). All that matters is that he has never managed a game for City. Until he has, let's all reserve judgement on him.
City fans are currently ashamed of City fans due to some of the threads and posts on here. For whatever reasons they have, it is still a daft thing to do. We are literally all in this together. I slightly envy but also pity those who feel that they could just stop supporting City because of a decision that they disagreed with. I can't, and I know that most of you can't. Saturday is a ritual, and not one that can be broken by Peter Swales, Franny Lee/Alan Ball, Stuart Pearce, Kevin Keegan, Shinawatra, nor Mancini/Cook/Al-Mubarak.
We are all here as one, and with the bastards sniping at us from every possible angle, we should be looking at putting up a front of positivity and solidarity. Nobody is happy with the way that things went down with Hughes, but at 4.30 when Mancini opens his mouth, it's time to stop the barracking about Hughes, or the board, and get back to our bread and butter, which is supporting our football team through thick and thin.
We've been through worse times before, but never in City's history can I remember us not backing a new manager. Even Hughes and Ball got the backing of the fans. Mancini deserves our support. It's a clean slate for City, and yet another new era. Let's remember who we are and stop all of this shit we are slinging at each other, after 4.30.
