Weather claims City trip to Genoa

I don't really buy that charity connection. How can the so-called floods of Genoa be compared with the recent floods of Australia, Philipines, Thailand and the many earthquakes all over the world? It sounded very odd to me.


Yeah Mancini and Platt played and managed in those others places.

No one is comparing are they?

The last earthquake here did no real damage, let alone kill people.

Our owners have business and sporting interests in Genoa, hence the gesture.

yep. £25 each and they put all our passport details on them. possible collectors items?

Saw they were 10 to 30 euros on the italian ticket website.

It says reimbursement of tickets to be be announced, I thought they may play each other.
 
Didn't take long. From the star:

MANCHESTER City have called off a charity match in Italy.


Manager Roberto Mancini had been facing a player revolt after organasing the game to raise money for Genoa flood victims.

However, due to freezing temperatures, snow warnings and travel uncertainty the trip has been postponed.

The Blues boss was on a collision course with senior players and staff over the charity match.

Mancini had stunned his squad and coaching staff by telling them he would pick a number of first teamers for the trip – just four days before the crunch league clash at Aston Villa.

Starsport understands Mancini’s decision had caused uproar in the dressing-room.

Mancini has spent the past few weeks complaining about his squad being pushed to the limit by injuries, suspensions and players being away on international duty.

A club source said: “The players are livid. One minute the manager is all doom-and-gloom about suspensions and injuries, but now we have to fly to Italy for a charity game.

“Some of the players are going to put their views across. But they fear their protests will fall on deaf ears because they feel Mancini does not communicate with them."

Disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing some of our younger players playing, dont know why everyone was so against the trip it would have just been the eds squad and would have raised some money for charity hopefully they can re arrange it.
