This is the most interesting part of the interview, and the one with the most significant ramifications on mr Mancini;
It’s not enough to have a technical director who only deals with the academy and grassroots work; he’s also got to be able to influence the first team as well and be able to take the vision forward. It’s pointless having a technical director getting the grassroots football to go in one direction and develop a style of play if the first-team coach does not agree with those ideas.
Given his history of working relationships and apparent dislike of external influence on his job, do we have a flashpoint situation ahead?
What am I saying?
When will the flashpoint occur and what will be its fallout?

Guardiola was the one that let yaya go, might be curtains for him IF Pep does come and more importantly for our fuckin chant!
From an interview i read on Ballagues site, it sounds like he put Barcas success on Ronaldinho being the number 10 to allow them to get in the best players so he might be looking for that level of superstar. Cant think of many, Neymar maybe?

If you're going to pick a model to follow from anywhere in world football, then Barcelona would be it. They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Guardiola was very vocal that he didn't want Yaya to go. Yaya wanted out to play football

hgblue said:Seems those who have been saying that 'Marwood must be doing a great job because he hasn't been sacked yet', were wide of the mark after all. I think this is a cracking appointment for the long term viability of the club, but I do think it puts a major question mark over the manager's future with Guardiola currently available and the team effectively crashing out of the CL already.
Couldn't agree more.
Ill leave the WUMs and fantasists to their own world but as PB and others will be able to tell you, Mancini is here for at least two years.
If we sack Mancini, we fail FFP. It's that simple.
For the record, if we signed Hazard and RVP, we fail FFP.
The margins are this close. Marwood wasn't at fault for this past transfer window directly, FFP was.
I'm no fan of Marwood for reasons relating to the technical aspects of the club but his transfer performance last year was a consequence of the wages given and transfers done in the previous three years. The argument about transfers should be considering we had a change of manager and had to force through four pay grades in a short period.

Is this true PB, did Mancini realise that by wanting to sign these players he was deliberately sabotaging the club's future???Damocles said:If we sack Mancini, we fail FFP. It's that simple.

Here's a great, great article about FFP:
