Roberto Mancini - 106 Not Out

Roberto Mancini - 106 Not Out

Postby King Kev » Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:35 pm

Yesterday was the 106th time City played a Premier League game under Mancini's leadership, more than any of our previous managers.

Of those 106 games, we have won 66, drawn 22 and lost 18 giving us 220 points.

This gives an average of 2.075 points per game, by far better than any other manager we have had in any era (allowing 3 points for a win) - the next best was Howard Kendall with 1.594 points per game (P32, W12, D15)

43 points will probably see you relegated though.

Under Bob's stewardship, our home record during this time, has not been too bad either.

In spite of our current 'troubles', over the next eighteen/twenty-four months, or so, I wouldn't be surprised to see the average points per game average rise even further.

21 points out of a possible 27 so far this season.

Considering we have been absolute shit, as far as Im concerned anyway, so far this season that isn't a bad return.

Just need to make sure we don't get embarrassed by one of the better teams in the league before January when we can maybe buy a defence.

This.

Neven Subotic wouldn't be bad, for starters.

Let's just hope he might learn further on from his mistakes and help to take City further forward, then.

A very respected, revered and enjoyed friend of mine, recently raised a weird, almost funny interpretation, of recent developments on the Club's evolution.
It has been claimed that, Ferran and Txiki were not brorght in (as the presently writing moron, and few others, dared to foreseen in advance while recognizing the weakness of the Club structure), as natural complement of the Club's aim to evolve towards perfection, in order to:
a) take some burden off Khaldoon's duty and let him focus on attending the couple of hundreds of shareholders and board meetings he has to attend, on yearly basis, in undertaking is major duty of ADUG's financial caretaker and investor. [in fact, I am still waiting to be gifted a replica of the ubiquity machine, that he was using along last years in order to make Marwood's job, while undertaking in the meantime his major duties of seating into hundreds of listed companies on behalf of ADUG!]
b) solve, with their established professionalism, the reminder of the Club's weaknesses, organization and executive wise;
c) help, assist and conseil the manager in order to devise and realize a better and stronger side, which in turn shall boost the Club's revenue and Brand.

NOT. Instead, they have been brought in order to marginalize the manager tasks and duties and downgrade them to just keeping the players' muscles warm and trained, while They will be devising - from now on - the style of play, the players acquisitions, maybe even the tactics to be applied to games, possibly upon dictation of the sole non professional amateur still existing at the Club (now factually marginalized to general executive duties on the building of the ALL IMPORTANCE project of the Academy: btw, guess where the clown will be when the executive tasks of that building will be ended?).

This massive failure of logic is entirely based on the assumption that this two excellent professionals grown their experience and reputation by building the "Barca System", which they were called to devise, established and developed it, in first place and applying the use and services of two different managers to the effect of coach only.
In facts and to the contrary, at City, the almost almighty Owner and his managing brain, the Chairman, selected and chased - in first place - a manager with an established reputation of building teams from the foundations, while reshaping the sporting related weaknesses at the Club (feeding, medical, physio, training methods, etc,). Now, when the manager have took the Club to the level he was hired for, a further, consequent, implementation: a top professional CEO, whose experience and qualification is more football allround than the almost marketing oriented one of Cookie and a top professional sporting director, featuring established relationship with top Clubs and agents: both of them will certainly benefit, suggest and drive the manager on how to improve his mistakes and performances, while optimising the use of the Owner's money with utmost professional effectiveness.
I think this is just what Mancini has been claimed for the last two years and nothing different from the original master plan by Mansur and Khaldoon.

as usual when fantasy speculations raise, I keep saying that history is the best witness and teacher, time will tell, again.

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...


In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!

Ridiculous that no City manager has lasted longer than this but congratulations to Bob for managing it.

Hopefully he will be able to add a zero to the end of that total by the time he retires.

Howard Kendall never managed us in the Premier League, surely Mercer managed more league games in charge of City than Mancini?

Regardless, congrats to Roberto Mancini. Walks on water for me, FA Cup winner, League title winner. Top bloke, top manager.

Constructive criticism of the team and the manager are always welcome and makes for good debate. Some of the hysterical nonsense on here in the past week is not.

I don't think anyone can complain about what mancini has achieved to date.
We are currently unbeaten whilst playing perhaps the worst football under his city career. We have won the FA cup and the Premier league whilst breaking numerous records.
Europe is tough and we may need a couple of seasons to get to grips with it. Just need to be realistic and positive.
Things will get sorted, the players will find their form (they can't play much worse ha ha) and Mancini will pick his strongest side.

Just to reiterate: Mancini has managed the most games in the Premier League

Kendall has the second best points-per-game ratio of any era.

Apologies KK, skimread it and misinterpreted it, surprising statistic about Kendall nonetheless.
