What I find astounding is certain city fans not giving Mancini the benefit of the doubt after winning the league LAST YEAR! It's 15 games in and you've lost faith in a winning manager for city something we haven't had for over 35 years...

This is what you're talking about here, in a monitoring period where we are sailing very close to the wind. Sacking a manager at a total cost of £40m wiith no possible way of getting this back and we will fail FFP on the back of it.
Again, if you're going to talk about sacking the manager and the like of, then at least put the effort in to actually thik about it for more than the ten seconds it takes you to write a post.
I'd be amazed if there aren't any clauses in that contract to protect the club against the cost of a potential early parting of the ways.

Sounds plausible.
Are you so naive as to think that contracts mean anything at all these days? And let's be honest, the contract was made just after we won the league. Do you think that the same contract would have been offered at this juncture - having won just 9 of our 22 competitive games since? Now, I'm not saying that there are plans afoot, but be honest ... if we had a vacant manager's slot right now and the three candidate's were Mourinho, Guardiola and Mancini, would you choose Mancini?
NOPE - but then I didn't want him in the first place.................totally out of his depth at this level.
Be amazed all you want but no clause on earth will exist in the first year of a five year contract.hgblue said:Damocles said:Manager payouts aren't amortised like transfer fees, it's one big hit.

I am unaware that Mourinho is leaving Madrid or Guardiola wants to manage City

There aren't in any other manager's contract, it's a standard agreement. No different than any loyalty bonus.

Yes, our owner would not jeopardise us getting thrown out of Europe after working our bollocks off to meet FFP for three years because the manager is having a blip.

I've noticed before, you show breathtaking naiavity when it comes to football and commercial contracts. I'm going to a party now but will fill you in on the reality of the situation tomorrow.
Rest assured it won't cost anything like forty bloody mill when we sack him.
