That's brilliant.

Well done Bob.

For all the other stuff, true or false, his relationship with the fans has always been good & he's had great support at the games, so it's really nice to know that he will remember it that way.

That's great from Bobby.

It didn't go according to plan this season but he did deliver THE greatest moment of our lives which will never be topped.

I wish him all the best for the future.

That's absolute class ... thank you Roberto!

His relationship with fans was always great and this shows he acknowledged that back too and it wasn't a one way affair. I just hope if the other stories (about player v him rifts and tensions) are true then it's not the players who have collectively worked or getting him the boot as in that case they all are still here and this is setting a very bad precedence and last thing we want is a Chelsea like circus around here where players gang up and can take matters to this far. I hope even if his management style conflicted, the hierarchy at the top took notice themselves and moved him on and it's wasn't so much the players "boring holes in his ship" ...

As for the fans, he'll live in our hearts forever!
Good bye and good luck Mancini!

Awesome send off.

3 years, 3 trophies, 6-1 at the swamp, 5-1 at WHL, 6-1 at Carrow Road(slickest football we've played with this team). Some great memories.

Class. Pure 100% class.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

That's why, no matter which side of the fence you sit on in the Mancini debate, he deserved treating with a lot more respect than he got. Thanks Roberto.
