That said I don't think there is much doubt to me that Mancini has a bit of a weakness in man management and handling fringe and effectively discarded players. He had difficult decisons to make ( some maybe not so difficult) and he made them.I applaud him for being strong and doing that and only time tells whether he gets more of those decisions right than wrong. So far so very good it would seem but he doesnt seem to pay much attention to those who get " left behind" does he?
Should he? OK if the club has some sort of safety net to cushion the blow, but surely Manicni has more important tasks than to make sure (inherited) fringe players feel appreciated?
i agree...i've inherited a new team at work and the last thing on my mind is that the people i don't fancy being part of the team thinking i'm a nice guy and not a total dickhead.
they are crap and i will move them on...end of story. Even higher stakes and more dispassionate when it comes to millionaire athletes imho.
Ade, Bellamy, and MJ can all have their bukaki festival in effigy on Mancini's face all they want, but i think...well, i think...esss normalll.
cheers
It's not about "i don't fancy being part of the team thinking i'm a nice guy and not a total dickhead"
That comparison is totally twisting what I was trying to say. You should be a journalist for the Mirror :)
I agree Mancini has more important tasks but that is not a reason to ignore them if that indeed is what he does.He has made the tough decision as I said and fair play to him for being strong and doing that but imo how people are treated in these circumstances is quite important. No reason to be a dickhead as you decided to call it.
we'll have to agree to disagree. i don't think the manager should have some emotional attachment or pleasantries with players he doesn't rate or don't factor in his plans.
i don't think anyone's actually given an example of Mancini being a dickhead. Because he hasnt gone out of his way to explain to a player who hasn't featured in 3 years and has been injured or gambling for the better part of 4 or so that makes Mancini a bad guy or means City have fucked these guys over? i am not buying it.
As much as i've stumped for Bellers or Ade -- they know they aren't rated by Mancini for one reason or another. They need to move on but are trapped by wages. I'm sure Mancini is as frustrated by that as they are. Bitching won't cure it.
Look at Shay Given...handled his situation with aplomb, and moved on to another team and didn't act like a spoiled little bitch. Hats off to him for being a man and a pro. Exactly how all the rest should be when they aren't good enough for first team footy based on the gaffer's desires.
cheers
Agreed we agree to disagree. But there you go again with a phrase like emotional attachment.Where the hell does that come from? I swear you are a NOTW journo or something with the the tangents/exagerations you throw in.Seems that the need to exagerate and sesationalise is what it's all about nowadays
