Mancini Gone: Official Now

[Nick]

does this mean that we have to HOPE nasri, dzeko and the other underperformers will turn into world beaters? Is there no 'war-chest' for Falcao etc?

Dzeko was pretty good when he came here mate. Recently he's been absolute shite. At Arsenal Nasri was at times one of the best in Europe. He's got worse in the last year. So has Yaya, so has Aguero, so has Kolarov etc etc. So has Hart!

You have to think about that and wonder why.

Agreed but in defence on Mancio:

1) Nasri - Turned into a dogshit player that WOULDN'T SHOOT or take players on pretty much instantly. He wanted to pass to death (probably a factor of this Barca football that all the 'execs' keep stating we need to play? So I don't imagine that will change.

2) Dzeko - is a confidence player. He needs to play every game. Hes not good enough to do that here.


you forget about players like Zaba who have come on leaps and bounds, Nasti, the consistent best defence in the league that Mancio has brought. Do people forget our defence (same players) under hughes? How long will it be until we ship goals?

I agree, Mancio has slit his own throat and shouldnt slag of players so much but lets have a look at each in turn:

1) Nasri - has underperformed. Since mancios bollocking, Nasri has played his best games.

2) Joe Hart - Has IMO has a crap season based on his growing ego. Needs bringing down a peg or too and reminding that Panti is better than him in certain aspects (e.g. kicking)

3) Dzeko - Poor attitude and Poor form. Has lost his touch.

4) Kompany - Club Captain and was going the right way about achieving legend status. But playing for Belgium when just coming back from injury is a joke. He's also been off form. And im getting sick of his Ferguson/United love ins. Is he competing with Joe for the 'most liked' tag by other fans?

I'm with you guys. The aim of the board is to make City the biggest and the best, and they will do what it takes. We have to trust them. I wasn't in favour of sacking now, but there ARE a long list of misgivings about Mancini, particularly in the player motivation stakes.

So lets get on with it and enjoy the ride.

That sums up my views as well. Let's just get on with it and get behind the board and whoever they will bring in.

And mine as well. I'm don't get the worship some have on here for the board, they might just be idiots for all we know. However moving on is about all there is to do. Managers have been sacked before. They will get sacked in the future. Perhaps our club will be able to learn to fire managers in a more classier way in teh future but meh.... some contemplaton and then it's game on as usual.

We're fickle like that, aren't we?

Also, I hope this wipes the slate clean when it comes to groupings among the supporters. The divisions around Hughes remained almost the same, albeit reversed, when it came to Mancini, although he won some people over. Whoever comes next has no relation what so ever to what happened during the last 6 years. In any way.

Neither has the board. Marwood and Cook are gone, either literally or in everything but name. The Spanish penises (I'm trying to balance the genders here) are in control now. They have nothing to do with Thaksin, Cook or anything like that.

Can we just move on now, please?

[Chinners]

phase 2 complete.

bring on phase 3.

Good work. Thats a very good way of looking at it. B+

The groups have evolved to the Nasti and Lescott camps...

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Guardian made a good point saying how Mancini overused the RVP excuse. That would have carried more weight had he not spent 38 million on Aguero, 27 million on Dzeko, 24 million on Balotelli and he already had Tevez.

Spot on. We weren't short of a striker

Just a manager short on ideas at the end i would say.

Agreed. We had 2 world class strikers in the Argies. And two very decent back ups.
Aguero in my opinion at his best is as good as RVP and so to is Tevez.
Who do the Rags have? RVP ad Rooney , and then for back up they had Welbeck and Hernandez. I'd argue we had a stronger set at the start of the season.
Mancini wasn't able to get the best out of them. It really wasn't that we were lacking a striker.

[Duckman]

phase 2 complete.

bring on phase 3.

Good work. Thats a very good way of looking at it. B+

i thought Bollox are for another thread ;)

looking back, Roberto was perfect for phase 2, even with his euro shortcomings the Club gave him a shot, while giving him blank cheque for players. Roberto did deliver silverware but failed in Europe, end of. Plus, whining all the time, almost wengeresque.

IMO, the club didnt planned the sacking this way, Roberto made it the way it is.

all in all, I hope we get Manuel next monday, plus Isco, sell Kolarov, Javi, Lesco, Kolo, Sinclair and Maybe Džeko. Then off to a good preseason.

life is good. Cmon CITY ))

Please do not remind me that we spent 27m on dzeko.

[Dubciteh]

Im dissapointed, as much as how we went about it than anything else. We can add "sacking a manager a year to the day after winning the league" to the list of calamities over the years.

Also i fear Pelligrini is the next Juande Ramos, he too was also highly rated in spain and was a disaster here. I

For me the only thing that could make this ok is if Mourinho gets the job. my second choice would be rafa based on a lack of alternatives and me not trusting Pellegrini with phase 3.

[PeterParker]

Dunno what to say about this.

My mind agrees with the decision, it is almost normal because sadly enough, this was it for us. Bobby couldn't take us to the next level as a manager and somehow, there were moments when he hold us back, with clueless tactics, like the ones he had the past years.

We did become a world class team under his spell, but could we been more than we are now? No, we can't.

On the other hand, my heart will miss the weirdass that Bobby was. With all his "ezz, eez normal" speech, "fuck you" rant at QPR and other things he had. Bobby was the only manager, even better than Maureen, that tactically outclassed old fuck face drinking retiring cunt.

MANCINI IS THE REASON THE FUCK RETIRED.

On the other hand, Bobby did this to himself and i can give you four reasons:

1) He negociated with Russia, why? Only he knows.
2) He dediced to change a winning system, 4-2-3-1 and start a 3-5-2 that was horrible, that was the reason the season was a mess.
3) His relashionship with Mario, his decisions to always forgive him.
4) His relashionship with Dzeko. We like it or not, Big Ed scored crucial goals when we needed and then, the next game, Bobby forgot him on the bench.

These are just a thew. In all, there are a lot more reasons, but those will stay hidden. From now on, things will be different.

Regarding our new manager: Klopp is my desire. But if we miss Pellegrini, i am almost certain that the Spanish Waiter or Martinez will be our next boy in charge.

I think his autocratic style was his principal undoing. OK, managers need to be strong and be themsleves, but he was too distant, too autocratic, I think. At least I get that impression. The players, however well paid and talented, need more than that. Was he arrogant? Maybe.

However, Pellegrini does not fill me with anything other than a sense of WTF?

What a mess.

i had forgotten about Ancelotti,he is my second choice. I dont think we would get klopp thats why i hadnt considered him. If this was always going to happen we should of moved for Pep early in the year.

What a mess.

He didn't knew how to bring players around him, that is my opinion. Never seen a player celebrating with him after scoring one. Remeber when they sacked Hughes?

Given, Adebayor, Bellers and another chap, went to talk to the board to keep him here. Bobby came and got rid of those three players asap.

If i were a City players, i scored goals when we needed, wasen't the best around, but worked every day, never miss a training and see that Mario did the opposite and still played more than me, i wouldn't give a shit after a while and play just for the sake of it.
Bobby did some mistakes that cost him even at Inter, imho.

Pellegrini, i think if he will be a gamble. He is a man manager and did some real good stuff. At Real, they didn't give him time and remember, he faced Barcelona when they where in their best time, not this shitty team like they are now. My worries will be if he will change the system.
