Who did Mancini p*ss off?

[blueplan]

I would say Mancini pissed Fergie and his following the most!!!!!
He left an everlasting legacy with the 6-1 Demolition of Fergie & his overhyped MU team.
Directly or indirectly they might also be responsible for Mancini exit. All the negative publicity by the red propaganda machine about MB (why always me & his infamous wink at the Wembley Derby) & Mancini etc doesn't help. Does it?

as it seemed at the time, the whole 'holistic' approach that started when Mancini was sacked, seemed to be a knee-jerk reaction. Maybe, it fact, it was a planned changed on direction when Mancini was still in charge and the heirachy didn't see Mancini as the fit for their new change of direction.

yes we didnt have a good season as Champions which contributed to the blame being set to Mancini, but now it has happened again, who is actually to blame??

I am not so sure, S&B would want their own man in and I imagine Mancini knew that he only had one year left. Hell, did anyone think he would fit into this new structure? The timing that summer was favourable for Mancini. He had won the league, fans adored him for that, and if he left then (resigned or sacked) they couldn't replace him with the right guy until S&B were on board.

Smart move by Mancini to "flex his muscles" at that time to gain some benefit, knowing he would be out anyway. All the mudslinging by the club after he left wasn't smart though. It's OK to say that player discontent wasn't the reason he went, but it was the reason that was leaked again and again at the time, and is still used on here, in a fairly poor attempt at justification. The board should have accepted that City fans are smart enough to understand football and give the real reasons. Maybe some wounds would have healed by now (or not have opened up at all) if they had. Disappointed in Khaldoon for that, only blot on a perfect performance otherwise.

Mancini wasn't professional enough to play the "game" for a year, the players weren't professional enough to do the job they are paid well for even if the poor souls were "unhappy", and the board weren't professional enough to explain properly why he went. A God awful year any way you want to look at it, and a huge chance to consolidate lost. Hey ho, a year lost, nothing more.

Resignation stuff is most probably utter bullshit. Managers don't resign these days as that cost them millions.

I very much doubt that was his genuine intention. He wanted to stir the pot and flex his muscles and knew City wouldn't let him if they possibly could avoid it. He most definitely held the whip hand at that time.

I stand by my story but whether he did formally offer his resignation or not, it was his subsequent behaviour that sealed his fate. Had he even made an effort to work with TB then things might well have turned out differently.

Good manager tactically with the team and poor manager individually with the players. That's probably the verdict on Mancini's time at the club. Why he kept giving Balo so many chances I'll never understand.

So pretty much as expected lots of conflicting stories from different sources on the dismissal of Mancini.

So it goes back to my original point, judge the man on what you actually see. His tactics, success, record in the transfer market. If you think the 2012/13 season or purchases in the summer of 2012 justified the sacking that is fair enough.

Nobody knows the exact story. One source has said we tried to resolve the issue in March but it did not go well in Abu Dhabi and approached other managers as a Plan B. Another source he knew he was gone in January as he knew of our pursuit of Pellers.

Rvp was lined up but we had to sell Balotelli. In the next breath our poor record in the transfer that summer and late deals was because we were still persuading him to stay.

If that is the case why was Rvp lined up by Mancini and refused the sale of Balo? Either he was recruiting/selling players or he was being persuaded to stay?
Incidentally a 50 million bid for Balo was suggested by PSG even though 3 months later he moved for a mere 17 million and there was not a flicker of interest by the club rumoured to have offered 33 million, 3 months earlier. Sounds likely?

The fall out with Kompany signed and sealed his fate but again, according to other sources the meeting in Abu Dhabi sealed it and the reason for his departure was a fall out at a higher level, his poor relationship with the players just another positive byproduct of his removal

That is the bizarre thing for me. The sources all dislike Mancini, based on what they know, but all have conflicting views on what happened. Surely that must place some doubt on your reasons for disliking him?

Not necessarily disputing what you're saying but it does seem pretty implausible to think that city couldnt pursue targets until the managers contact was sorted. We operate with a director of football so why wouldn't they press ahead with transfers?

We didn't have a director of football the summer that Mancini won the title. In fact we didn't even have a CEO as Ferran wasn't appointed until 1st September.

Think you will find Marwood took Cook's job after he stabbed him in the back forwarding private Emails to Onuoha's Mam..

You really are either completely clueless or a very poor wum. John Macbeath took Cook's job, as interim CEO and is still at the club.

The email was forwarded from Cook's account, when he replied to one from Mrs Onuoha that Marwood had forwarded. The one who did the stabbing in the back was Ian Wright, who sat on that email for a year, releasing it only when we wouldn't renew SWP's contract.

Wright shamelessly used the Onuoha's to pursue his own agenda against Cook.

You can't expect a lion to become a sheep!

Completely clueless? WUM? I just go off what I read...
I don't recall reading SWP dad having access to Cooks computer whilst he was on holiday. I do remember him saying the club and owner were Mugging his son off which put a spanner in the works ending any contract negotiation..

If it was as you put it so clear cut, why the denial by cook straightaway? Surely they would know when he was on holiday and the date the Email was sent.Patsy.
