Mancini Interview with Daniel Taylor in this wknds Guardian

[Hazy2]

I am not sure what Soriano can do or say, his Friday press does need looking at. The wankers are having an open piss take with him. He is a big boy, however silence does appear to be the fuel despite his 5 yr deal to keep this bollocks running. Me I was pissed off after the Derby and QPR, I have refused to watch the Saints debacle, he is spot on lots to work on and players need to up it.

[Ted Hughes]

Oh fuck off you simpering turd.

It's a legitimate question & I'm entitled to be interested in the answer.

If everybody was just a brain dead fucking cheerleader there'd be no point in Mancini even being interviewed. Just send out a signed a picture of his arse so you can stick your fucking tongue up it.

Sometimes you're like a broken record.

I didn't bring it up, you fucking moron, Mancini did, I am replying to him & some of you people think that's wrong, which makes me vomit tbh. We are City fans, not fucking rags; City fans ask questions & don't just sit in the dark & get spoonfed whatever people tell them, or at least they used to question stuff.

He keeps bringing this shit up & I ask questions about his interpretation of it. We only ever hear HIS side of it. The club never reply. I am entitled to ask this & I'm not being unreasonable. You fuckers have no right to apply pressure to censor which questions people are allowed to ask. If someone is like a broken record it is your Lord & master, who keeps using this as an excuse, & in case you are all too thick to realise; he is potentially using it as an excuse for next season as well. Tricky & Soriano are wonderful & they will get him the players he needs; not like those wankers Cook & Marwood, who could only bring him Silva, Toure, Aguero, Dzeko, Balotelli, Nasri etc. But if they don't ? Well how can he compete ?

Basically it wont be his fault if we can't compete it will be Tricky & Soriano's. It's all upto them as we can't ask Bob to work with the rubbish he has now.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

The only problem I have is if he's going to publicly slate players and board members, then it shouldn't be him deciding what his mistakes are.

If you give it you should definitely take it.

Very true.

There are a lot of encouraging things in that interview but there are some aspects which are questionable & worthy of consideration.

[Hazy2]

The manager it appears to me is working two angles here, he is declaring an iterset in players, He is either speaking for him or ignoring his Director Txki who I have read all about in two seperate books,This guy will have his vast knowledge of players laid out and he and Roberto need to be on the same page for Soiano. Read Graham Hunters fantastic book to get to understand the MCFC guys who will set out our future. All that said I have it the back of my mind they and Pep will meet again maybe with with us maybe back with a new vision for Barca.

[Benjay]

Mancini made a very good point the other day. We cannot win a trophey every season. Even baconface cannot do that. But we need to be seen to progress. He talks a lot of sense re some players resting on their laurels and also last summers transfer activity being dismal. That has contributed to us going backwards. Some of Bobbys team selections have also been odd. I hope we have identified targets for the summer and I hope Bobby is given a chance to implement the strategy he was seeking last year. Having said all that progessing through to the KO stage of the CL is mandatory.

He said some smart and good things but mine only problem he would rather shit on all of them , and there is almost nothing abaut him nothing abaut Champions League where we really play like they all drop acid two seasons , nothing abaut 3 at back when there was no need for that , nothing abaut some of his mistake, He show he self like i think of him .He is intelligent and a good manager, but as stated in an interview he does not like to lose and apparently never thought that maybe he was guilty of some things that he can work on his stubbornness.

no use apologising about sinclair, if you won't do anything about it. how is nasri getting games yet sinclair even struggles to get on the bench.

[Sideshow Bob]

Because Nasri is a far better footballer? Sinclair is out of his depth with this squad.

Sinclair is out of his depth based on what? The 2 minutes he's been given so far this season?

Just my opinion mate. But he couldn't make it at Chelsea either.

I don't think he is a key player that will turn the tide of our title chances, but how many times has nasri been given a chance and let the team down.

maybe he can offer something else, considering sometimes we do need some girth.

i don't think we should have bought him to begin with, really we should be aiming higher but that doesn't mean he can't offer something. the sooner nasri is sold the better.

Have you ever considered how many of your posts have been pulling me up & insulting me for having an opinion, rather than having something to contribute yourself ?

[Beefymcfc]

I like this bit. Basically says to me that the top corridor are working as part of a team rather than the disfunctional family that has been portrayed. Respect from all sides.

"Txiki and Ferran? They are not above me," he points out. "Above me there is only Khaldoon [Al Mubarak] and Sheikh Mansour."

"Ferran came from Barcelona and understands what it needs to be a top club. Txiki played football and knows football. They are good men. For this reason, I am optimistic about our future. We now have people who know their football. We need some players and they are working on it. At this moment it's better our focus is on the last three months but the club knows this and I know this."

I agree with Bob that Nasri could actually be a top player though.

Unfortunately he has only produced that level in a brief spell for Arsenal & about 2 games for City. Bob has signed him thinking he can get the best out of him but has failed to do so,same as Wenger.

If he responds to this criticism in the correct way, then it could mean Nasri has a high quality end to the season, but that would then beg the question as to why Bob didn't mention it earlier. Whatever, if he does suddenly have an upturn in form because of Bob's words, we should just use that to get a better fee for him imo.

As for Sinclair; in some games he would have been a better option off the bench than the one used on the day.

No. When I think about it as I write this, I think it'll probably amount to quite a small percentage, not that it matters though.

As I've said before, it doesn't take much to wind you up ;).

I am not defending Nasri. He's been mostly dire this season. But he offers far more than Sinclair when on form.

Soriano is above him though Beefy, so I don't understand what he means.

[Moonchesteri]

But I'm not Arsène Wenger. We're different. I want to win.

hahahaha. well in bobby!

Spotted that too, haha!
