Unlike Bobby
When did Mancini ever get to a semi in the CL?
Here's some interesting stats for what's labelled here as a failed tenure at Madrid for Jose.
City - Fa Cup
Madrid - CDR Cup
City - League
Madrid - League
City - Final of FA Cup
Madrid - Final of CDR Cup
In all 3 seasons above Madrid have matched us yet they have performed better in Europe and collected an extra £50m (ish) than us in prize money.-- Wed May 01, 2013 9:25 am --

I think Mancini knows this and it's his last crack at it. If he fails he picks up the phone and walks into a job at Monaco. Problem is it leaves us in a stick predicament with a change of manager and no pre-season to bed in his methods. We would adapt and progress but how much pace will it take off our pursuit of regaining the league?
And how much do you think City winning last day of the season contributed to the new huge TV deal ?? sorry,did I say huge...I meant Massive tv deal.

What you saw last night in my opinion was a man without his mojo. He looked like a singer who couldn't get the audience to join in.
He needs a different audience and he most of all he needs to take stock of his tenure at Madrid and realise that he could have handled some things better than he has done.
I expect him to excel in his next role.
No plan B just like Bob.. ;)
Did we get to keep all the t.v deal money to ourselves then? If not then moot point. Wigans late run last year was a good selling point too.
The point is as you well know, CL is vital and Jose has been in two semis the last 2 seasons where we haven't qualified. Really is that simple. Chelsea were there or abouts too and the whole world know of Inter and Porto. Not quite the failure some make out.
As for Plan B, what a load of bollocks. He called the Modirc sub which was pivotal v the rags and last night he mixed thinsg up again and the team rebounded with 2 goals and arguably should've had a penalty. No exactly staring at defeat and not changing things was it?
