We have a stable board, owner and chairman. We now have a stable manager for another season atleast, baring a right fuck up. We now need to move fast and get our fullbacks in, our centre mid sorted, then see who isnt 100% commited, and replace them with better players too.
Our big chance this season was because every team around us had energy sapping distracting European football midweek for more than half the season. We didnt, we had a little league cup run. We should have been fresher, mentally and physically this season.
Next season we're on telly on thursdays.
I really really hope Mancini is the real deal, and can take us to the heights we want. At the moment im still not sure, last night I didnt want to see him again, but we all get ratty and say silly things on here, thats why we like it and come back - you can get things off your chest. With a pre season, freshly prepared squad and 4 or 5 of his players, playing in his style, it might work.
I do think he knows his shit more than Hughes. Its a step up.
Solid post, I agree. He definitely knows his shit more than Hughes he was a cunt dressed up as a football manager.
