I'm still not entirely clear on why we got rid of Mancini? I heard he was a right hard ass, but isn't it good to have that kind of discipline? What we're seeing now is a team that knows they don't have to listen to the manager. I still remember the super rigid defense that Mancini had in place. Would we be a worse team? I bet that if he was still in place we'd have won more titles, cups and this would not be our first quarter final appearance in the Champions League. It's great we're getting Pep and all, but I would love to see a 2nd Mancini stint just to have that crazy defense back in place. My two cents for what it's worth.
