They would afford themselves of greater job security by dispensing with Mancini
=========================
This is what is wrong with the appointment of these two.... If indeed this is correct.
I can't get my head around this.
Ok here goes.
Soriano is tasked with boosting our revenues and cutting our losses. He needs the club to play as well as we can and to win as much as possibel so that he can negotiate deals for the club, the more successful we are the more sponsors will want to be part of us, the more we can charge and the more shirts & merchandise we can sell.
Txiki is director of football, he's tasked with turning us into a version of Barca. He is tasked with changing our football philosophy to suit Ajax/Barca model and also making sure our academy coaches players who will blend in seemlessly to our squad. 4-3-3 throughout.
Txiki in particular is tasked with buying and selling players and being the go between of manager and board. He also is based on performance on field although it's down to manager and squad to perform. If they fail he fails, it's that simple. He's on a good wedge here and wants to be successful in his project but also keeping his job, why go with a manager who's his own man and does things in his own abrasive manner when you can bring in someone who will work with you and thinks like you and can still be successful on field. The likes of De Boer and Pellegrini are a better fit for his vision than Mancini. Say we had Mark Hughes still, and we looked to replace him, I doubt Mancini woudl get the nod over the two mentioned because of the system and philosophy Mancini believes in and employs. It's only because Mancini is here already and has been successful that he's still in with a shout of staying.
Here's a few other issues. Mancini sacked one of the most respect doctors in this country and brought in his won man. Injuries been an issue this season, maybe co-incidence but he did this at Inter too becaue he suspected that the injury team sided with players too much and were too protective.
He also has a shower of shit looking after the EDS and youth. We are way under par and changes must be made in that area too, absolutely no doubt. You can check for yourself to see what I mean.
In short the Spaniards are up shit creek if Mancini doesn't win trophies and continues to buy and sell players at the detriment of the clubs finances. Not only is it a FFP no-no but it also makes their jobs harder and also makes us fairly unstavle in regards to squad. We need a hapoy squad or at least majority of happy players. Buying, selling and harsh public criticism isn't helping matters one bit. Compare Dzeko v Spurs of last year to Dzeko of this year, that's what poor man-management and lack of confidence does to you. The lad clearly has his head elsewhere and feels hard done to. He's been made scpaegoat yesterday but people don't remember his WBA performance etc, also there's no Aguerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrro without Dzeko. Had the two been the other way, things may be different when judging him as a player.
