Why The Hell Would Anyone Want Mancini Sacked ?

[chesterbells]

Despite all the interesting debate, who the fuck are we supposed to replace him with:

A) Mourinho - by common consent a great manager but also a graceless twunt who would grate with many supporters' values (and probably the owners too), or
B) Guardiola - by common consent a fantastic achiever with Barca, and a much more acceptable human being, but with no experience elsewhere?

Answer either of these and half the forum will disagree. Let's give Mancini until the end of the season at the very least, please.

Tbf, I'm not sure if many of the mancini doubters, such as myself, are seriously suggesting he should be gone tomorrow. I think some would agree with you.

How dare we keep a manager for 3 years, it's too un-city like!

Guardiola - won trophies off the back of Rijkaard's good work (everyone forgets that).

Mourinho - did he win CL for Chelsea? nope! So no improvement on what we have now.

Everyone has to remember that apart from the handful of obsessives on here (well all 5 of them) win on Sunday and no one will even think of getting rid of him.

The said obsessives have allowed their hatred of the manager to get in the way of their support of the club, they never come on here when we win, as sure as night follows day after a bad result they are on here, they want you to know just how right they are, so they will hijack threads, just so they get the message through loud and clear, a very sad state of affairs

All this eulogising of Ferguson is wrong.

He's a good manager who for 25 years has been in charge of the richest club in the world bar none.

In that time he has won two champions leagues, both of which were extremely fortuitous.

In the same period Milan have won 5, Barca 4 and so on. In other words hardly dominating Europe.

I think you are missing the fact that Fergiescum didn't have anything like a stellar squad for much of his time at The Swamp.

Mancini has World Cup winners, Euro winners and CL winners in his squad pretty much from day 1.

He still managers to be as tactically inept in Europe as he always was.

Can't fault the guy domestically but in Europe....

A lot of Blues need to realise that he is not indispensable. We went thru all this with Sven!

Unless for a major collapse in our league form I cant see the owners sacking Mancini, if he wins the league he deserves another summer to put right the glaring deficiencies in our squad. No title and I think hes a goner and either Pep or Mourinho (almost guaranteed to leave Madrid at the end of the season) will take over possibly klopp as an outsider. Chelsea will be also looking at Pep though so Mourinho might be the only logical choice, people may not like him but he is almost guaranteed to win trophies and he will bring a winning mentality.<br /><br />-- Wed Dec 05, 2012 9:16 pm --<br /><br />

He might win a match for us in the CL which will be an improvement.

The Galactico signings - Eto'o, Ibra, Kaka, Zidane etc etc - have never gone to United. He's had to work with Danny fucking Welbeck for god's sake. Can you imagine Real or Barca signing Danny fucking Welbeck. Good grief.

Jesus wept, you're tripping over yourself to big up Baconface. Did Danny Welbeck equalise or hit the winner in the Nou Camp? Which penalty did he take against Chelsea in Moscow? He's only had to make do with the likes of Welbeck over the last 2-3 years. In the 99 treble season he had Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Solskjaer. A couple of years later, when they'd won the league in April, he went out and bought van Nistlerooy and Veron, two of the most sought after players in Europe. Today that'd be like us signing De Rossi and Falcao. He still didn't win the Champions League with them though. He only won it again after he'd stumbled upon Ronaldo who happened to be the player who was set to be the second best player in the World.

Depends which way you want to look at it.
The question is can Mancini EVER win us the champions league?
On the evidence of consistent disastrous european campaigns since his tenure began than you would have to say no. People have to look at the facts.

I'm not sure that Mancini sends out the team to play slow, boring, pass around in our half football. If he does then fair enough, he has to sort it but I believe that he simply trusts the players too much. They've delivered for him in the past and he believes they'll deliver again even when all the signs are pointing towards them not.

Can't see it myself. His track record at Inter and here suggests that he is regularly coming up short in coping with European games. As I said earlier in this thread, ADUG now have to choose. Do they want European success? If they do, then Bob is on very thin ice, as I don't believe he is the man to win us the CL. However, if HRH and his board are happy to pick up domestic trophies and forget about Europe, then Mancini has undoubtedly proved that he is more than capable of rising to that challenge. Difficult choice, and I don't envy them having to make that choice. This past 18 months has been fantastic, and I'd be sorry to see Mancini go, if that is what ADUG decide.

i'm not keen on some of bob tactics and substitutions and have said so from day one but it is vital we put all this talk of a change to bed. we need to show unity roll our sleeves up and win the prem again. bob to me has earned the chance to sort our problems out. that starts with a solid city beating the rags on sunday.
