The Thank You Roberto Mancini Thread

[branny]

Bobby Manc - City legend and tremendous scarf wearer. Thank you for everything.

[Beefymcfc]

Mancini: “When we get to Old Trafford we will take the banner down! It is the last year it will be up, for sure.”

Class.

[trueblue64]

Thanks Bobby Manc, I wish you all the best.

[Blue Blood]

Thanks bob.

It's been emotional. All the best.

[JB]

Thanks for giving us what we all thought impossible not so long ago.

You'll always be part of God's Own Club, as far as I'm concerned. All the best Bobby Manc!

[Twobob]

Thanks Roberto! The most succesfull period of our clubs history in my lifetime, nothing will ever tarnish the first ever FA Cup I've ever seen us win, the first drilling of the rags 6-1 and the winning of the Premier League and the passion you showed us last season that mirrored our own.

Good luck, hope all is good for you and wish us luck as a club of the fans - we need it at the moment.

I am totally torn on this one.No doubt he deserves our total thanks for getting us two trophies, for smashing the scum at the swamp and for some great football but somewhere along the way it's gone wrong.

Why it's gone wrong I don't really know and it's not as simple as the getting the transfers wrong or complacency or loss of form or poor tactical awareness or whatever but somewhere in there I do think Mancini has made too many mistakes and with that has lost the belief of the players. If the players were still fully behind him he wouldnt be sacked.

Thank you Roberto. I wish you well in the future.

And he kicked you out! If there was ever a reason ;-)

Who did?

Forgot to add, Little Rat.

Normally, around this time I would write:

"Thanks Roberto, it's been emotional."

But you deserve more.



Thanks Roberto, it's been really emotional.

Thanks for tearing down the banner at the swamp. Thanks for the best day of my life 13/05/12. Sorry it ended the way it did but thees ees football

Grazie, Roberto. You gave me the three best times of my (sporting) life since I was a boy, and that's 60 years ago. You said once that if one day you weren't Manchester City's manager you'd become their number one supporter in Italy, and I believe that. I wish you had kept your promise to Pantilimon and played him in the Cup Final because mostly you've been a man of your word; maybe you lost your temper with him the way you did with Carlos Tevez in Munich and spoke too quickly? Well, everyone's done that, it's forgivable. But otherwise, many thanks for all you've done for City. I saw the match at Wolves when you wore the scarf for the first time and I thought then that you identified with the supporters & with the club's traditions, so thanks for that. I wish you success and happiness in the future and hope you'll be back in Manchester one day, either as manager of a visiting team or as a welcome guest. Thank you for making the dream in my heart come true.

Legend in my eyes. Delivered the trophies that countless others before him couldn't and got right under the skin of the other lot. Loved his post match interviews, the wearing of the scarf and his little outbursts of emotion. I can't say a bad word about him really.

Thanks Bobby, you did a great job overall.

[Socrates]

Gutted it has come to this, thank you for the 6-1, the first trophy in 35 years and the most amazing football moment ever when we became champions. Goodbye and good luck.

Fucking this 1000%.

I'll go along with this:

I don't know what has gone on behind the scenes but I do know City fans appreciate effort in their cause and do not forget.

I've written something of a tribute to Mancini if anyone fancies a read -

His celebration at the end of last season showed how much it meant to him.

Absolutely love the guy and wish him all the best.

x1 well said, i really do find this a harsh decision to say the least, one more year but it seems like they did not trust him.
Pellegrini i am not keen on at all, Chilean, Villareal, madrid(for one season) and Malaga are the main teams he has managed.
