From where I was, it was the same which meant that us fans weren't totally focussed on the game in hand.

What's surprising is that the club couldn't, or wouldn't, even bring out a basic statement to the effect 'Manchester City Football Club are fully behind Roberto Mancini and the players going into the FA Cup Final'. Nothing more needed to be said as it would all have been about the game, not the managers position going forward.

And the players, what would've been going on in their heads? They needed to remain 100% focussed yet they were allowed to go into the game not knowing what the hell was going on.

PS. It's not Vicky Kloss' responsibility to set policy, it's the people above her that make those decisions.


Are you for real Beefy ??? with that mindset Man City should have said Mancini will be sacked next week,,,,but carry on !!!

Dont be daft , we lost the match because the players dont want to play for our manager......why cant you and the other Mancini fans understand this?

Lets see the real truth about what has gone on when our owners decide to tell it to all and sundry...till then we keep supporting our club not the fucking manager.

I'm not supporting the manager here and even though I debate the points (dependant on the argument) I'm not really the biggest Mancini fan. I do however, respect him for what he has done but again, this does not reflect my opinion. The opinion here is the way this has been handled and possibly while you were getting giddy that Mancini was going, I was more worrying about the game itself.

So, to further the debate, do you think that this has been dealt with appropriately?

Just for furtherance, I'm looking at many different sites and outlets (listening to the radio also) and I've not come across many who have said this has been handled correctly. In fact, there are a few who are going as far as to say it has been disgraceful.

As for the players, they may not have wanted to play for Mancini but at least the fuckers could have played for us. Don't you think?


I come from a world whereby everyone knows the GM is going but the GM so I dont see whats different here with Mancinis position.
Like I have said , there is a reason why the Club has said nothing , there is more to this than just an end of season sacking.

Mate, I've heard all the rumours - it'll all come out in the wash, blah, blah, blah. If this was the case then Mancini would definately not be here, he'd have been sacked a long time ago as our owners would not see that has respectable behaviour, and to be fair, I don't see too much in what was said with regard to the owners, except that which the media wanted to embellish.

What you allude to, from my point of view, is a washover story that shouldn't even be contemplated. Bringing things to the fore like this, regardless of strength, should be kept behind closed doors and if anything does come out in an effort to disgrace Mancini in some way, then I'm not sure how I could look at our club and think it is the club I've supported for the last 35 (ish) years.

However, I'm fairly certain this won't happen apart from the stories in the media, profligated by those who believe themselves to have the ear of the good Sheikh. Whereas, in reality, they are the same as the rest. People who hear and read into things, sometimes coming up with a reasonably believeably version of events.

That's why I ask the question, Pelligrini, really?
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

No doubt Pellegrini is highly able. He did a fine job with two traditionally minor clubs, Villarreal and Malaga, and got 96 points in his sole season at Real Madrid, 2009-10, a record, although not enough to stop Barcelona winning the league.

Yet that campaign also saw Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso arrive in the summer for £210m, plus a 4-0 defeat by third-tier Alcorcon in the Spanish Cup and elimination by Lyon in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Pellegrini then moved to Malaga, who finished fourth backed by the wealth of Sheik Abdullah Al Thani and another significant spending spree of more than £50m. Is this so much greater than Pardew taking Newcastle to fifth in the Premier League in a year when many had them down for relegation?

Pellegrini’s triumphs — he was the last manager to split Barcelona and Real Madrid by finishing second with Villarreal — may have come in unfashionable locales, but his small clubs had big ideas.
Villarreal were backed by investment from the owner of a major ceramics company, Malaga’s overspending made them one of the first clubs to fall foul of UEFA’s financial fair play regulations.

This wasn’t success on a shoestring. Pellegrini was supported in a way many British managers can only dream about.

These were not legacy projects, either, in the manner of Moyes at Everton.

Villarreal are currently in Spain’s second tier and Malaga are banned from Europe next season for financial misconduct.

Pellegrini is clearly an impressive coach and his record in South America includes three titles, but right now is there such a huge difference between this and a Roman Abramovich appointment?


They are banned from Europe for not paying their tax bill, money owed to other clubs and wages, they are not in any way falling foul of FFP, which would be an impressive feat considering it doesn't kick in till next season.

And there goes Daniel Taylor in the Gruniard backing up what was posted on Twitter:-

"Manchester City intend to instigate an extensive sacking programme even before Roberto Mancini's expected departure from the club is confirmed.

The club's chief executive, Ferran Soriano, and the director of football, Txiki Begiristain, have decided the faults in the existing coaching staff go all the way down to youth level and will make their point ruthlessly.

City's directors have decided Paul Power, who made more than 400 appearances for the club during 11 years as a City player, should be moved on from his coaching role with the juniors. The club will also take the controversial step of severing ties with Jim Cassell, another key figure from their past as the man who led City to the FA Youth Cup in 2008.

Cassell's highly successful time in charge of the youth academy coincided with 27 different players graduating to the first-team, including Shaun Wright-Phillips, Stephen Ireland, Daniel Sturridge, Michael Johnson, Micah Richards and Nedum Onuoha.

He was moved to a new role in 2009 to head up the creation of a new academy scheme in Abu Dhabi, but it is understood he has already been told he has no place at the club under the new regime.

Soriano and Begiristain have also begun the process of replacing Adam Sadler, who coaches the Under-18s, and Pete Lowe, the academy's education officer, as it becomes increasingly clear the former Barcelona executives have decided there should be sweeping changes."

These same players who don't want to play for Mancini, won at old trafford, beat Chelsea in a cup semi final that saw them run themselves into the ground less than a month before the cup final, so why would they, having got to within a knats cock of winning a trophy suddenly decide they don't want to play for him?

I don't see it anything like the way you do, conversely I see it that with all the shit about Mancinis future becoming a reality to them on the morning of the match andl, concerns about their own futures because of a lack of stability at the club meant they lost their focus.

The blame for that lies squarely at the door of the club.

It is with regret that Manchester City Football Club announces that Roberto Mancini has been relieved of his duties as Manchester City Manager.

This has been a difficult decision for the owner, Chairman and Board to make and it is the outcome of a planned end of season review process that has been brought forward in light of recent speculation and out of respect for Roberto and his extensive contributions to the Football Club.

Despite everyone’s best efforts, the Club has failed to achieve any of its stated targets this year, with the exception of qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League. This, combined with an identified need to develop a holistic approach to all aspects of football at the Club, has meant that the decision has been taken to find a new manager for the 2013/14 season and beyond.

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: “Roberto’s record speaks for itself and he has the respect and gratitude of Sheikh Mansour, myself and the Board for all of his hard work and commitment over the last three and a half years. He has clearly also secured the love and respect of our fans. He has done as he promised and delivered silverware and success, breaking the Club’s 35-year trophy drought and securing the title in 2012. I would like to personally and publicly thank him for his dedication to the progress that he has overseen and for his support and continued friendship."

Assistant Manager Brian Kidd will take interim responsibility for the remaining two games of the season and the post-season tour to the United States.
