Will Mancini be sacked if we lose tonight?

[crystal_mais]

I don't think he should be sacked. With the squad we have, we should have been better.

He now needs to press ahead and win the league and see how the next CL group campaign goes. If we are still poor then the bosses need to have a look at it.

 

[mancityvstoke]

some of the abusive responses on here are shameful

I love bobby but am being realistic, 2 years of UCL Group stage exit is not good enough on his budget; maybe calling for his head now is pushing it a bit, but the subject is worthy of debate

Mods; certain posters language that has been used on here is a disgrace on a "moderated" forum

It's an adult forum and some bad language is not only tollarated but totally understandable .

Shame that view isn't held across the board De Niro.

Board warnings? jesus.

Re: Mancini has one last shot at Europe or he is out

Oh you like a good moan don't you, oh the bandwidth!!!. the title that I put out I felt was fair and the rationale was too, Mancini would never have got the boot after the Madrid game so the title isn't fair and nor is the sentiment behind it you have are unlikely to have reasoned discussion, my topic wasn't about do you want to sack him or are you like Pam and infatuated with him but how long do you give him before enough is enough. but no under blue moon rules anything with reference to hughes goes in the Hughes thread despite it being focused more on Redknapp and may in fact spark of a line of discussion about him rather than Leslie i.e. inadvertent thread hijack, good forum moderation that is.

I mean this as constructive criticism.

If you paid more attention to your punctuation and capitals and paragraphs, people might better understand what on earth you are going on about.

Scanning the monologue above, I have no clue.

i have to defend the guy here, apart from text speak as long as we can read a post that's all that's reqd, i too struggle with commas and that but still have strong views i want to express.

bit precious there chippy.

I was being genuine. I really struggle to read and comprehend posts like that. Maybe it's just me.

Get rid of this embarrassing thread.

 

[Cityinmyheart]

I live in middle east and watch CL on Ten sports a UAE based channel...the pundits on the preview show were Carlon Palmer former England defender and an English Goal Keeper John Burridge,,,,,,,,They were both hammering Mancini and saying Mourinho and Fergie would had done wonders with the squad,,,,Oh yeah well mourinho who has one of the best team in the world and trails Barca by 8 points but for media he is untouchable and banocface won nothing last Yeat,,,,FFs we are top of the table and I dont know why the media (generally) hate Mancini,,,,,I request all city fans to stick by this men who has turned our team upside down....

-Forza Mancini

Would be interested to know what the breakdown of Pro/Con Mancini supporters is?

Surely after what he has done that must be enough to have the backing of the majority regardless of some below par performances in Europe.

Go to any game and listen.....the support from match going fans is clear as day

See i did think that. The Mancini chants (WOAH you know the one) was as audible as ever last night. Perhaps it's just being on here that has given me a skewed view of things.

This is right - the vast majority of fans are behind Mancini. Same old dismal voices on BM promoting their ever present negative crap but I don't think it reflects the fan base.

If ever a City manager deserved some slack it is Roberto Mancini.

It is, despite half the crowd apparently being of the tourist variety last night, the support for Mancini at the end was as clear as anyone needs to hear.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Mancini will never be sacked.

A man who works without any pressure whatsoever is no good to us.

All things come to an end, good or bad.

Mourinho makes no excuses for himself, because he doesn't expect it from anyone else.

Our owners have rationale, they don't do carte blanche.

I'm not Mancini's greatest fan. I like him in lots of ways but I see lots of faults too and ultimately I think he's a very poor tactician. But I think it's ludicrous for the media to think we'd get rid of him because we are a bit disappointing in Europe. Are they complete morons? Don't they know us by now. It's not like the club suddenly sprung out of nowhere. We did exist before the money and it''s been a while now since we've had the money. Shouldn't they have some idea as to what the character of the fans is? Or maybe I'm not representative of most fans but to me Europe is only a "nice to have" bonus. I couldn't give a toss about the CL before we got in and now I only barely do. Obviously I want us to win any game and especially ones against really decent opposition but only for the sake of looking good to the rest of the world. It's just a PR excercise imo. Somewhere between a friendly and a premier league game.

What matters is the League and the FA cup. If Mancini disappoints in those then my only concern is whether a new guy can be any better. Mancini deserves to stay in his job becasue there is no one better available to win us the league again.

If we win it this year I may warm a tad more to Roberto :-)

 

[sergiokun]

I enjoyed Mancini laughing and Jose when he walked down the tunnel and blanked him, classless twat he is… Mancini has learned lessons tonight and we was better than Madrid, Next year will be our year

 

[lindy64]

The thing is, a lot of us have watched City for many years without the threat of success and the fact we are now winning things doesnt change us to glory hunters.
Its the glory at all cost clubs such as Chelsea that dont want to think long term. We generally have a different perspective and are grateful for what we have.
Roberto Mancini has been successful with us and there is nothing to suggest this cannot continue. There is also of course no guaruntee that Alex Furgusson or Maurinho would have done as well.
I still think the general consensus is that we are progressing as a club and a team and while that is happening, let Bobby get on with it.
Yes we would like to do better in Europe but it wont be the end of the world if we win the league again.
In Bobby we trust.

This is not about Pro or Con Mancini - I have total respect for the guy, What I would say is there are better out there and if they became available then it wouldn't be a bad thing if we went for it

Mancini has been excellent for the club. -

What if we fail again in the CL next season and our closest rivals decide to go for it and we don't achieve or produce in the league - How will the fans feel? It's a state of mind at a point in time - Football fans are very fickle

We are still Euphoric on the back of the last 2/3 seasons - our owners will look at the bigger/wider picture - that's success both on and off the pitch. They ultimately make the decisions. As a club we should be striving for the best.

Mancini gets paid in excess of £5m a year to do this job - if somebody else came along and offered him more - I'm sure he would go. I know I would.

My loyalty lies with the club and not any 1 person be it Mancini today, Pep/Jose/Klopp tomorrow. I'm neither Con or Pro Mancini - I am pro MCFC

Great post. The embolden bit is something that seems to have been forgotten somewhat today.

That's the most middle class thing anybody has ever said on a football forum.

Haha - I used to drink Dandelion and Burdock in the gutters growing up in Moss Side.

A nine-and-half-pence mix, the sniff of a Westlers on a matchday...
