Is Mancini the right man for City?

150 points from 75 league games, and FA Cup win, top of the league since August, in the semi-finals of the Carling Cup, best start ever for a City team, shit loads of goals scored, embarrassed the scum in their own back yard, won global respect for the way he handled the Tevez saga, unbeaten at home for 12 months...

My answer is 'Yes'.

This.

You have to be mentally challenged to see his tenure here as anything other than an unbridled success so far.

In Bobby we trust!

is mancini good enough for city? YES ; is he the best for CITY, the future will show it but I doubt it. Many of you talk about the first title after many years, first place im prem and so on... The truth is with such a team worth over 400 mil, it is not that hard... I don't want you to take me wrong, he's a good coach, but with such a potential in the team your goal should be at least k.o. phase in the CL and the prem title of course. Most of you live in the UK, of course is the prem title the highest trophy for you, that's normal. But the real deal in the international football is the champion of the CL. We can just wait for the end of the season and hope the best:)

What a load of bollocks this is. He hasn't spent £400m, significant parts of that figure were wasted before Mancini arrived, in fairness some was wisely invested by Hughes. If all it took was large sums of money to win trophies, the league etc, why have Liverpool gone 21years without a league title? Why did Newcastle not win anything under Keegan or Leeds anything under Graham and O'Leary? Answer: because it takes good management over a period of time, money needs to be wisely invested, players need to gel, the signings and players need to be moulded into a team. Mancini has done this. We have won a major trophy - the FA Cup and he is a few days away from his 2nd anniversary in charge with us currently top of the league.

The title of this thread is in my opinion laughable at any stage considering Mancini is the manager to end 35years without a trophy and we are top.
What is more if we ever sack a manager for not winning the Champions Lge like Inter, Chelsea, Real Madrid have done then it is a disgrace. It took Ferguson 13 years from his appointment to win it with United at his 7/8th attempt.

King Kev's quote is absolutely spot on:

Peaks and troughs, we have the right players and manager to win the lot.

These days seems to be PEAKS AND troughs. Wonder how long the piece in the OP had been written, waiting for us to actually have a crap week?

Aye, some are still waiting for a fall.. This is City after all.

We only have 38 points, we need another two to stay up.

[twosips]

The only thing that sums this article up is that if we hadn't have lost versus Chelsea then it would never have existed. Says it all imo

Can't see where the 2 points are coming from to be honest. now we've lost one game we'll lose every one.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Sorry OP, I was venting at the article now that I've seen the link at the bottom!

Personally I think Mancini has had a go about about 4 maybe 5 champions league campaigns, not many when you compare it to other managers who usually end up in the finals.

Don't give me examples of Barcelona managers, Pretty Boy Lee would win the champs league with that team. Oh and Mourinho has the touch, but his football is usually shit.

Fuck that cracked me up. Skimming through thread and come across that. Quality!

[sheblue]

the manager has done a very good job so far, i think he will deliver the league this year. the last thing we need is a change now. yes we do need a top class central defender. k toure is not good enough and savic too raw although we have not seen enough of him yet, so give him time.......but here and now if vinny k or lescott got long term injuries we would have a big, big problem.

all this bullshit about not being able to win the cl after what 4 times, how many times has wenger won it? ferguson has only won it twice in 20+ years........

[Bridge'srightfoot]

In the past I've been a critic of Mancini, especially some of the dire, dire shit we played last season.

This is going to sound nasty but it isn't meant to be mate. If you think last season was "dire, dire shit", the I don't know what you would have made of the 1997-98 season. You'd probably have jumped off Blackpool Tower. People of my vintage find it hard to understand you at times.

Possibly perspective is the most important thing.

Mancini has provided great entertainment (even last season despite what the media will tell you), the biggest win at united for seventy-odd years, a team that is capable of doing the same to anyone in the country, Champions League football and most importantly an FA cup. I can't imagine sacking him after wanting these things for decades.

Last season we played United at home, we stuck 11 men behind the ball and went for a draw. He set out our team paralyzed with fear. It was so embarrassing to watch. That is unacceptable and BUT he's learnt from that which is what most impresses me.

...but he has still made a mess of the whole Carlos Tevez saga. First, he accused the player of not wanting to come on as a substitute in the Champions League game against Bayern Munich, then it transpired the Argentina forward actually did not want to warm up again and never refused to enter the game.

I said it before and I am sure I will say it again, I am so fucking clairvoyant it's scary sometimes.

I said when we went for the lesser charge that eventually some clown would come along and assume that because it's all he got charged with that it was the extent of his transgression. I said it, I fucking called it, and now perception has become reality.

The charge he was guilty of is misconduct.

The top charge on the list of misconduct charges , of which he was found guilty, is one of failing to participate in a game. I don't understand where this charge of 'failing to warm up' is coming from, there is no such charge in existence.

Don't be intentionally dense.

If I am at work and I dip my willy in the coffee pot, that could be seen as misconduct, I doubt there is a charge called "dipping your willy in the coffee pot" either but charges like misconduct apply to a whole range of transgressions, so yes in effect he could have been charged with failure to warm up under the umbrella of a misconduct charge.

A chap I knew actually DID get caught on cctv dipping his cock in the sugar jar!, he was suspended for weeks pending investigation!!! Full pay for weeks, yet he was clearly seen on the camera getting the old boy out and lobbing it in the sugar!

There was an amendment on the charge sheet for anyone caught shitting in the corridor or caking anyone on the Casino cruise lines....a mate of mine used to dress up as Zorro and in the early hours would bang on the door of a fellow worker and when he answered he would splat him in the head with this cake and scream out KKK !...he would then go shit in the corridor where the captain and his cronies used to sleep.

He did this every now and again.....cameras cctv never managed to get him.

They never caught him but they did add these demeanors onto the discipline sheet for anyone caught and found guilty.
