Just like old times.

I haven't noticed any Forum User make comments about Mancini being Italian. Besides, it's not my job to Moderate the forum. It's yours.

It has been mentioned NUMEROUS of occasions now.

And it has nothing to do with moderation. It is not against the rules to question whether Italian can manage in England (although tad ridiculous considering Ancellotti's side are looking likely winners of the league and Cappello being national team manager), and it's not against rules to not like manager because he is a (former) rag.

Honestly, and this is NOT directed at you alone Jim, but NOTHING gets on my tits more than saying you shouldn't think or say this and that because you are a moderator. I don't moderate opinions of people and I'm not a robot with no opinions of my own. I just try and help the owners by keeping the board going. This goes for every other moderator and owner as well. Take my recent run in with certain other poster, I dealt with it exactly the way as any other poster does. That's what I ALWAYS do.

I've only been posting on this Forum again since the start of February and I was barely reading 1 post out of 100 when I was stood outside with my nose pressed up against the window. Once again, I have yet to see any clear post from anyone and myself admitting that they don't want Roberto Mancini in charge because he's Italian. Questioning how an Italian who has spent almost his entire playing Career (one brief stint with Leicester City) and most of his Managerial Career in Italy is able to make the transfer to English Football is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask.

You've now gone from accusing me of tolerating and provoking Racism through to deliberately avoiding the subjects that people are talking about. I don't read every Post on this Forum. I don't have the time. You are a Moderator and one of those duties is to ensure that people aren't breaking any of the Forum rules. I shouldn't have to challenge a Racist or a Homophobe because it's not in my remit to do so. Also, if other Posters have already told them that they're being out of order then I don't feel the need to get involved because it's already been said. However, I have reported offensive Posts to Moderators before.

Ynghhhhh....... come on Jim. I am NOT accusing you of anything. And I haven't seen ANY racism whatsoever. Saying that Italian manager will not work in England is not racism...... not even by a long sight. It's a footballing opinion.

ALL the real racist opinions have been deleted and posters banned without an exception. Luckily we haven't had anything like that here in a good while.

Well, you've either misunderstood something that I was trying to say or I misunderstood what you were trying to say. BUT... you said the following: - "whereas you seem to think it's ok to question current manager because he is 'forinner'" Bluez stood up for me, too. Clearly I'm not to the only person to question your comment.

Capello has succeeded as England Manager because he's a brilliant Coach. Ancelotti already had the Team at Chelsea - but he too is doing very well. Winning the Premiership in his first Season in English Football will be a great achievement. Let's wait and see if Mancini can join in with the plaudits by making Manchester City a succesful Team.
