Anyone who thinks he deserves to be sacked with a record like that after 3 1/2 years is fickle.
He is not being sacked for playing bad alone..

MAN OVERBOARD ... Roberto Mancini is set to be sacked by Manchester City

IN the end, as he usually is, Roberto Mancini was betrayed by his own words.
After his zillionaires were outplayed by a Wigan side cobbled together with players costing peanuts, the £7million-a-year Manchester City boss was asked what had gone wrong.
“We didn’t play very well,” was his lame excuse.
And why didn’t they play very well?
“I don’t know,” he said.
Oh, dear. If the manager doesn’t know, who does?
Later he would go into a rant about people at the club not protecting him — those in the press office and the powers-that-be above them who were undermining him by not killing off speculation about his future.

Now we know why they weren’t protecting him.
Because his days were already numbered.
And, to be quite honest, because they never ever really took to him.
Certainly, he treated his own players with scant respect — a dangerous tactic seeing how much he relied on them.
Then again, his manner on Saturday night was so typical of him. Everyone else was to blame but the man himself.
Now he is on his way and few will quibble. In fact, the writing has been on the wall since the disastrous Champions League campaign.
Yes, reaching the FA Cup final and finishing runners-up in the Premier League would normally be viewed as some season for most clubs.
But this isn’t most clubs. This is Manchester City, a club on which £1billion has been lavished by Sheikh Mansour.
As such, it is not a club that is supposed to go through a season without a trophy.
When Manchester United won their first title in 26 years, they completed the Double the following season.
Mancini, though, has failed to take the club on at all after lifting the title.
Had Chelsea not taken until half-time to wake up in the semi-final, City probably would not have reached the final after Mancini was tactically out-manoeuvred by Rafa Benitez.

Earlier in the season they were knocked out of the League Cup, losing 4-2 at home to Aston Villa.
They were then eliminated from the Champions League at the group stage.
Yes, they were unfortunate to draw Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund but that still did not explain a miserable tally of just three points, the lowest ever by an English club in the history of the tournament.
As for the defence of their title, it never materialised.
Mancini has moaned all season. It has rarely been his fault. The failing, it seems, has been largely the responsibility of his players.
But who signed Samir Nasri, Edin Dzeko and the absurd Mario Balotelli?
Who decided to start with Balotelli in the Manchester derby rather than Carlos Tevez?The same Balotelli, averaging one goal every 535 minutes, rather than Tevez, a constant thorn in United’s side since leaving Old Trafford?
It was not until City were trailing 2-0 that Mancini finally replaced the disinterested Italian with the fired-up Argentine and saw the game transformed.
Yes, City would still lose to a late Robin van Persie goal but that’s not the point.
Then we had all the tinkering with the defence — especially in the Champions League.
There were fall-outs with players and Joe Hart was regularly on the receiving end despite being hailed as the best keeper in England six months earlier.
There have also been recent rucks with Vincent Kompany and James Milner while Nigel de Jong left last season because of Mancini.
Many also thought the treatment of Joleon Lescott cavalier.
Players who had never been particularly keen on him had now had enough.
Mancini, though, refused to look at himself.
Just as it was the club’s tardiness over making available another huge tranche of transfer funds that had “forced” him into a late £40m splurge on Javier Garcia, Jack Rodwell, Scott Sinclair and Maicon.
Once again, who signed them? And who stuck by Balotelli when it was clear he was poison in the dressing room?
No, Mancini messed up.
And so we arrived at Saturday evening where Mancini dismissed rumours about his departure as “rubbish”.
That the speculators were “stupid” — before adding: “Or, if it’s true, I’m stupid for not understanding.”
Of course he understood.
As he said before the final: “If we win the cup, most people will say we had a good season. But at Inter I won seven trophies in four years and they still sacked me.”
He will be replaced by Manuel Pellegrini, the Malaga boss.
Contracts were said to have been exchanged with his lawyers some time ago.
Mancini will understand this as well, seeing that he himself was hired by City while Mark Hughes was left in the dark.
At the same time, Mancini will always be remembered as the man who won City their first title in 44 years.
One day he might even admit he was the author of his own downfall.
Yes, his players failed him at Wembley. As he did on Saturday, he must ask himself, why?
Perhaps they just didn’t like him.
