Might they have won earlier had Juve and AC not been cheating for all those years I wonder?
Even with Juve and AC removed you still have to beat the opposition in front of you, something that Hughes has not managed. The board were patient and certainly backed the manager that they inherited handsomely in the transfer market but ultimately proved once again that they intend to instil very high standards at the club we all love and I for one think that is a good thing

i do hope that mancini is a success here but the clubs statement that his record speaks for itself is a load of shite, inter failed miserably in europe and this is where top class managers should be judged along with their domestic success in their own league.
by the way i totally agree with what andy hinchcliffe was saying on SSN. he does'nt think hughes would have been here for 5-10 years but hughes was bringing the club forward

this worries me a little as does Mancinis style of football - why didn´t they go all out for Hodgson? SCUTTLED THE SCUM TODAY GOOD AND PROPER!!
Mancini's style of football worries you and you'd prefer Hodgson. He is good manager but bored me to fucking death when he was managing Finland.
I would imagine watching finland would be trying at the best of times,
While we are talking of lack of class.

Its a shame it didnt work out with Hughes etc, they were bringing the behind the scenes things into the 21st century, after decades in the darkness. Diet planning, charts all over the place about effort etc, it all sounded exactly what we needed and i couldnt beleive we hadnt already been doing it all before hand.
I use to be happy with most of the first 11s he put out, but they just werent performing for him, or what it his tactics or formation? He had all last season to get the away for sorted, especially after Jan when he added well.
Probably a mixture of all of the above things. It didnt work, it might have in 2 or 3 more seasons if given time, but maybe we cant wait that long.
Mancini, I must admit, im not all that excited. He has managed 2 clubs, and although won some trophies, like mentioned before, he did it during very easy to do it seasons. I presume his England is up to scratch.
HE BETTER NOT BEING AND FUCKING ITALIAN STRIKERS HERE!!!!!! (except Boji back - although he isnt Italian you know what I mean)
Right now, i feel 50/50 about if we have made the right descision, im happy Hughes has gone because it wasnt working, but I cant help thinking if we'd waited until summer, we might have turned it round, and we might have been able to go for Mourinho or Hiddink, who are both more proven, and more proven in the premier league.
Its a big gamble, and one I dont think we had to take just yet, but im not in charge, so ill get right behind Mancini and his coaches from day 1, and hope atleast the players pull themselves together, and we get some decent tactics and formation going.
By the way, this has obviously been planned for a couple of weeks, its not like we sacked Hughes and then started a search, I reckon the Hull game put the writing on the wall, and things started moving behind the scenes, the Arse and chelsea match probably bided him another week, but the manner of the Spurs game , and the rumours about what happened after it were the end of the line for the Taffia

Yes but as stated, at Inter, he had easily the best team in the league because the other 2 big boys were being punished. Inter walked it, because there were no serious challengers.
Ill agree the guy has promise, in Italy, but its almost like a different game in England.

but his sides scored freely in spite of playing against Italian defences! I think he could well prove suited to the English game.

Well he played for Leicester City back in 2001 and i'm pretty sure he spoke decent English then so i'd imangine it must of improved it that time frame.

all these stat men amaze me, and they will hammer google soon.
They state that mancicni was in financial difficulty blah blah, yet his record with fiorentina when he won the cup was Played 27 WON 6 Drew 5 and LOST 16!
no doubt he was remarkable for keeping them upbeat for the final as they were fucking shocking in the league!

We could dig up Leslie's stats at Wales to compare maybe? Mancini stepped in to help a bankrupt club, before he even had his coaching badges, and people will use the stats from that against him. Quite unbelievable.
