Why The Hell Would Anyone Want Mancini Sacked ?

[everythingchangesbutblue]

the man has won us 2 pots.i want him to stay and i think he will.however if we dont get out of next years group he would have to go.

People need to give their heads a wobble.

Mancini won us the league last year, we need to dominate domestically, retain the title and have a good showing in the FA cup, where we can afford to field strong sides every round.

European progression will come with time, I'm not worrying or worried at our current pace. unbeaten in the league, and unbeaten at home in the CL 2 seasons running + in Europa for however long. Last 2 seasons we've had, by far the hardest groups, this year definitely, probably the hardest in it's history. Came 3rd with 10 points last year, which would have taken us through the previous 10 seasons in the CL.

Just bad luck, and will hopefully get teams more common to the Rags in the Cl next year, which would be a welcome sight.

I don't understand this whole 'everything needs to happen now' bollocks, demanding success is a rag characteristic. Leave it out.

Quoted for greatness.

his inability to integrate youth into the first team is definitely one of his downsides, and as this is the future of manchester city, it could cost him

wich youth ?

we have the likes of rekik, suarez, razak, guidetti etc on the fringes who should really have been given a few more 10 minute cameos off the bench when games have been comfortably won.

instead he hasn't so they are nowhere near enough to being comfortable in the first eleven as they could be.

he could really have given nimely a run out for the last 15/20 minutes, why did he bring zab on instead?

To be honest, I think it's only Guardiola's insistence at a prolonged break that is keeping Bob in a job. If Guardiola said yes, Bob woud be gone by Friday IMHO.

I am still not backing down from my prediction of Bob gone by January... Which was pretty much ridiculed when I posted it a few weeks back.

Because its unlikely to be proven correct. He signed a five year contract three months ago.

Just for the rags that keep popping in from time to time
Mancini in my view is one of the worlds best club managers.
He has won the English league title, the FA cup and to some, the 'meaningless Community Shield.
He has won 3 Serie A league titles, 4 Coppa Italias with 3 different clubs, 2 Supercoppa Italiana cups.
If he can do that in just over a decade, imagine what he could do over the next decade.
How anyone can say he's not that good, like i keep hearing or he doesn't know what he's doing is beyond me, Mancini doesn't really care anyway, he's Italian. Why does he keep being compared to Fergie and others? He is relatively new to the English Game, while Fergie, has been here for over 25 years, they're both totally different. He knows what he has achieved and what he is capable of and although Fergie has won everything, Mancini (still only 48) will still be winning titles long after Fergie has gone.....

Well said.

Coral have Bobby as 7/4 to not see the season out.

In a way the die is cast now - title or bust for him now,

I like him, I hope he stays, and he has 23 games (plus FA cup) to prove he deserves it. I'm sure he will

Well it would be, if it wasn't bollocks.

There's not many around here saying they want him sacked. But that doesn't mean we have to be delighted with our CL performances which have been woeful whichever way you look at it. 1 point from 6 against Ajax is an embarrassment. The other games have varied from poor to piss poor.

I don't care how hard our group was, our performance in it was abysmal.

And again. I want success too, but football guarantees nothing but disappointments even for the Champions. Some can't handle it. I wonder how they'd have handled our descent to Div 2? You wouldn't have seen them for dust

AFAIK none of the teenagers you have listed are ready for first team football , and a couple of them also are out injured if i'm not wrong.

and , by the way , you dont do any favour pushing the youngster on the pitch in this high pressure games , you risk to ruin them forever.

It matters not how long Fergie has been here for the facts show Mancini is clueless in Europe.

Now it's ok to throw the 3 Scudetto's in the argument but when you break it down.

1st league win he originally finished 3rd.
2nd League win Juventus were in Serie B and he had a 15 point head start on Milan.
3rd League win he lost an 11 point mid way lead though and won it on the last day. Juventus still recovering from the relegation.

What is even sadder is that some who were there during those dark days are the most vociferous now, which I think reflects poorly on human nature and its capacity for avarice founded on nothing other than a sense of entitlement.

Bollocks?

It should have been 3 points against Ajax at home, but we got fucked over by the officials, perfectly good goal disallowed and stonewall penalty at the death not given, it was an embarrassment for the officials, not City, went 2-0 down and came back to dominate second half.

thats completely true, but over the last couple of years we have been winning many games very comfortably, he could have afforded to have just 1 or 2 youth players on the bench. so when we have been 4-0 up, he can give rekik or suarez 10-15 minutes here and there, nothing much but useful. yes a couple are injured now but he has had the chance to over the last year (except guidetti obviously).

we are now faced with the prospect of rekik being on the bench for the manchester derby without having anything other than 2 league cup cameos to his name. we would be much better off if he had been played off the bench in a couple of league games.

You do realize that this team is leveraged up to a level it will not be possible to maintain in the future, that most of this side won't be here in 4/5 years so NOW is too late.
We were shit lucky to win the league last season despite the miss-management of the squad, we play a one dimensional game that is easily defended against, the team is plsaying as though they know a new boss is on his way!

Is it greedy to set challenging targets which are proportionte for the team in the context of the club we are today? That's not the same as feeling we are entitled to always win.
There isn't anything incompatible with fully appreciating the wonderful incredible achievement of recent times, and maintaining a business view that if a better manager becomes available he should at the very least be considered. As a club shouldn't we always be looking to improve in every way?
Never mind giving the head a wobble, how about changing the mindset?

 

[LookIfoundmyKnob]

Considering that Mancini has lost this club over 20 million euros by an early exit in the group stages, yeah I can see why he would be sacked.

Losing to a bench squad in Germany? Yeah I can see why he would get sacked.

It is what it is. The only thing I'm hoping is that City hire the right person IF they do sack him. It would be insane if we hired someone like Benitez.
