I think if you demand a sacking, you should come clean and tell us your choice.
Mancini out...but who in?
Gillie,
On the face of it I would agree about the MIlner thing Mate but what we don't know is the info privy to Mancini from the sports medical team. That group who advise on energy levels, overplaying and who can predict when a player's energy levels are about to drop.
Maybe that was the case with Milner and he wouldn't be fit for purpose in the future. It's the only reason I can think of that could make any sense. But like you I am groping in the dark.

YOU CANNOT BLAME A MANAGER FOR A TEAM'S FAILURES WHILE TAKING AWAY THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE TEAM'S SUCCESS
So have we turned into fans who demand the next big name manager after only 1 season of not winning anything? I sure as hell hope not. This thread is shite

But with the resources we had, there were few managers in world football who we couldn't have attracted.
I think we made the wrong choice.
You don't sack him either but it doesn't stop you moaning about it. Answer the question. It's a fair one.
Its a good while ago, so it isn't really that fair.
For what it's worth, my stance at the time was that I didn't particularly want to see Hughes sacked.

Leaves a nasty taste in the tongue all of this.

Also if we bring Mourinho in, are you going to go and tell the builders at Etihad Campus to stop working on that construction because as much as he may be a fine manager, introducing youngsters is not his forte so not point in building it is there.
Also he only sticks around for 2 or 3 years at a time so where is the long-term planning or has that gone out the window because we aint going to win the league this season!!
And to top it off, lets do a Chelsea and sack a manager a year after winning the league because that is really what United would have done with Ferguson or Liverpool with their managers or Arsenal with Wenger. I mean get a grip, Mancini has won 2 trophies for us and has tonnes of managerial credit in the bank with the job he has done at City, let him deal with the job.
Teams have ups and downs, lets face it in all reality we will finish 2nd this season and we may or may not win a trophy, hardly a fucking disaster is it.
Was I happy about tonight's result, the performance or the fact that the title race was over tonight, no. But I am not wanting our very successful manager sacked either.

Both should be getting much more out of the players they have available & have been pretty useless this term.

Nice post and just shows how perceptions change.

Makes me sick at the thought! But i'd argue you'd never see such a lacklustre performance as you did today under gollum.

At least someone has still their head screwed on.
I thought yesterday was complete disaster and our form is horrible. We play bad football right now. However this guy has provided us with FA Cup and League title. More than I could ever have dreamed really. Like you said, he has earned his credit. Do I think he is doing the right things right now? No. But he has PROVED that he can get things like this right. That is not guesswork or fantasy football or video game management; he has done it in the past.
We used to laugh at silly rags and later Chelsea "fans" who were completely spoiled and were screaming for managerial changes after every little misfortune. Lot of our own supporters have become the same or even worse. And amazingly there are still people like Piccs, and he isn't even the only one, who haven't let go of the Hughes sacking despite all that has happened afterwards. Goes to prove that all the talk about "Hughes lovers" (which was mostly as a wind up and I never even thought some City supporters REALLLY loved him) wasn't completely unfounded. Equivalent of strange Samaras and Dzeko fanboys. Credit to people who talked about stability back then and stability now. You have proven consistent and it may be time for apology from my part to putting these people in same category at the time with those weird Hughes lovers.
If we are to even talk about managerial changes it should be done after the season is over. And you need to have some other, realistic, names available. I admit that I wanted Hughes sacked for a long time (although at the time of the sacking I would've given him til the end of the season) but I had Mancini as my choice. He was available, interested and had the pedigree. If people want Mancini sacked then they need to have name who is available, interested and basically guaranteed to do better in long term. Let's be having you then.
