Bob,i thought you could have done better than 'Its not his fault' - a bit too 'obvious'.
Its a collective fault. It almost always is a collective fault. At City during Mancini's tenure it has been a collective responsibility and the success or failure is down to that collective but then I didn't bring up the 'limited and unbalanced squad' as evidence of Mancini perceived failings.
Like it or not Mancini is exceptional at building a team from scratch and getting it to win things at a club where winning is a forgotten art. Mancini has an exceptional record when it comes to winning trophies be they at clubs with money or without but always with teams that have not won anything in years. In my opinion its his particular skill set.
You can legitimately argue that Mancini's skill set and character has a shelf life of around 3 years just as Jose's skill set has a 3 year cycle. What cannot be argued (much as people try) is the evidence at City and Inter and elsewhere in the form of league trophies and cup wins that Mancini's way works.
So we are back to your original question as to why no Mancini links to Real Madrid or to put another way would Mancini's methods work in an established club where winning is the norm?
Probably not in my opinion.
