I think that we embarrassed the club and ourselves as fans yesterday.

This, when history books will be written about 10 to 20 years from now, it wont be forgotten that second most successful manager in city's history at the time gave his final speech to bunch of empty seats, hats of to the fans who stayed till the end for pellers final speech and applauded the manger and players for their efforts
 
People talk about the manager being humble and dignified. This is just another way of saying he has no personality. To me he comes across as aloof and arrogant. He has a skilful knack of deflecting questions put to him. At no stage has he accepted any responsibility at all for the situation he has created with his lack of tactics and poor selections. All he has done is come up with excuses.

I don't think the fans have anything to be grateful to him for and I don't blame those that left at the final whistle. The club never gave us the opportunity to say goodbye to Mancini, a manager who truly made a difference while he was here. I don't see how the fans can be criticised for not applauding Pellegrini whose overall contribution does not compare.

Was you there yesterday then?!
 
Manuel has been very well treated by the fans over the course of his 3 years at City. We cheered him to the rafters when he won trophies. Sang his name loudly on numerous occasions, often when the performances didn't really merit it, such as in Madrid. There have been no protests when weve fallen short, no planes circling the stadium. He's been afforded total disrespect.

So we didn't stay back in numbers to thank him yesterday? Big deal. He didnt want to be there, the players didnt want to be there, I didn't want to be there. If United drop points and we scrape 4th next week, I'll cheer him off at Swansea. If we end up 5th I'll give him a brief round of applause and then be on my way.

It will be forgotten about by the start of next season.

RM was at war with the board and would never work under a DOF so he had to go.

MP was sacked as well and its only the spin he and the club who were completely silent and left it to MP to tell the press as an aside that he was being replaced before the press got wind of it themselves that was different.

The only difference is that maybe Txiki and Co might say hello to MP if they happen to see each other again but somehow I doubt it.

Both departures were handled poorly and we can see the result of it in part at least with the way the side has regressed but again the recruitment to assist both managers was poor.

Maybe it will be a case of third time lucky and hopefully Pep will leave on his own terms with the club in much better shape than he found it.

Then don't criticize paying fans who travel, in the cold and wet mostly, attend games and voice their opinion.

Do you think we give a shit what it looks like on telly?

It was the last game of the season and traditionally fans stay behind to cheer the team. Also the under-18s were being presented with their trophy and that was worthy of respect being showed.

I guess that it is a by-product of how CITY fans are developing - unless we have won the league it is a failure so fuck the club.

Each to their own opinion - mine is that our fan base is getting a little 'over-entitled' in their attitudes
