We don't expect to win the Champions League, we just expect to get out of the group stage at the minimum. Mancini has had multiples opportunities at Inter and Manchester City to prove the theory that he can't hack it in the Champions League is wrong, and he hasn't taken one. Sooner or later you have to choose logic over hope.
This squad is the strongest in England, why is it so unrealistic to expect not to get dicked by Manchester United in the title race?
And where has this sense of entitlement come from Mr Master_Tactician? Mancini did get Inter out of the group stages iirc, to the QF I think, the rest of your post is nonsensical soundbites. Logic over hope? Logic dictates that a new manager will cause upheaval, at a stage when we are looking to capitalise on what we have already built. Logically, we shouldn't even be having this "debate".
You call it self-entitlement, I call it ambition. Mancini's £500m worth of transfer fees just about gives me that.
Mourinho replacing him at Inter and winning the Champions League in his second season didn't make Mancini's QF achievement look too impressive.
The near total consensus on here is that a summer of upheaval is needed as we shift out the dead wood and bring in some fresh quality, to clarify you are going contrary to that and saying we need austere stability?
