City and Mancini

[JustAFan]

Seriously, look at the crudely scribbled blue moons on that banner. It's hilarious.

They got it wrong didn't they? A blue moon is the 2nd full moon in a single solar calender month. They are using crescent moons. Idiots can't even get their nickname right.


Also, wouldn't it be about right to say that City's performance v Wigan in the FA Cup final about summed up their season. They expected to walk easily to a title only to be surprised along the way by a lesser team.

I like the commitment he made to the letter 'S' in the word 'STAY', and as the word continued he gradually lost interest. He may as well not have bothered with 'Y'.

To be fair to him he looks like he might get tired easily.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

City are brilliant. If they didn't exist, we'd make them up.

The security guard and cameraman look like giants next to him. This is how it feels to be City, this is how it feels to be small......

 

[Livvie]

Mancini insists he will be around for next season

As in alive?

 

[Sarni]

Frankly, he's done a terrible job this season and managers have been sacked for much less. Last season he was bailed out by our collapse, otherwise we'd be talking about them bottling a great chance to win the league. Still they needed QPR to find out Bolton hadn't won and relax a bit in the final game of season to get a win, I firmly believe that if Stoke hadn't equalised QPR would have gone on to at least draw that game.

He's spent a fortune and has built a good but not great side. They've been shown up in Europe two years in a row, they'll finish at least 10 points behind United in the league and they were beaten by Wigan in a cup final that they didn't look up for at all. They seem to have major motivation issues and you can't help but blame the manager for a big part of that.

I don't know. Mourino spent a fortune to build a title-winning Chelsea side but at least that team looked formidable. This City team looks a bit meh to me, apart from Silva, Kompany and Aguero it's just a collection of decent expensive overpaid players.

Pellegrini is in pretty much the same mould as Mancini, so I won't be too worried if he's the man they're replacing him with.

 

[Zen]

Don't know why this is getting so incredibly slated......he's kind of not that good. Had it vaguely easy at Inter, which Jose proved should of been more....and well 2 trophies here isn't good for his time and money spent. Chelsea have sacked better managers for doing far better.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

He's tactically strong I'd say, he just lacks motivational qualities. And a motivator is so important when you've a team of mercenaries.

 

[That'sHernandez]

feck.... i will miss him. hes the best what happened to us

Apart from Fergie...and Busby

And that's supposed to be something to aspire to or something?

Chelsea are the biggest joke in England when it comes to managers.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Difference between Mancini and a mankini?

Nothing, you still can't avoid the sack.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Was sacked.

 

[talking robot]

i think city would have been better off taking a longer term approach that more resembles the united philosophy. they should have given him 5 or 6 years to construct something. he's been very successful since coming in, and what they would gain in continuity surely outweighs any benefit in firing him.

 

[Maajid]

City will improve now.

 

[Dominos]

Based on what exactly? They're both foreign?

Doesn't surprise me on here mind, Moyes is "cut from the same cloth" as Fergie apparently, based on little other than them both being Scottish and a bit angry.

 

[KM]

According to a BBC reporter, they are giving him a compensation of 28m. Woah.

 

[Grinner]

'Fergie survives one more City manager'...from elsewhere.

Pretty funny.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

City will improve now.

By the looks of things, it'll be another short term managerial appointment. This new guy, assuming it's Pellegrini, doesn't provide immediate success he'll be gone too.

Good fecking Christ on a bike. That's more than one van Persie.

As in they're two overrated managers who will be found wanting when it really matters.

And don't be so patronising, you git. Or are you on another level to the posters on here?

 

[paceme]

Mancini's been sent off!

 

[Maajid]

You don't know that.

 

[Aporkalypse]

£28m buys a lot of scarves

 

[Grinner]

28millions....jaysus!

That's obscene.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

For £28million, he could probably buy the team that have ultimately cost him his job.

FFS wish somebody would sack me and I get £28m

didn't he sign a 5 year contract last year?

Ridiculous really, he deserved at least 1 more season. City's owners are stupid if they believe a manager must win a trophy every year or be sacked.

 

[Someone]

Rubbish just got real.

 

[Grinner]

Mourinho in.

They all do it.

Liverpool, Chelsea, City, even Southampton.

And who's to say we won't do it if David Moyes doesn't deliver the goods.

 

[RDCR07]

Three new managers for the top 3 in England next season.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Mourinho in.

I'd be surprised if they didn't at least approach him. Doubt he'd opt for them over Chelsea, however.

Liverpool other than Hodgson give their managers plenty of time. To compare United to Chelsea, City and Southampton is ridiculous. Moyes becomes only our 20th manager in the entire clubs history. He won't be treat like City and Chelsea treat their managers.

 

[Aporkalypse]

One has a very distinct advantage of actually being chosen by his predecessor.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Wenger could be the only manager remaining from last seasons top eight. Pardew's job could be under risk.

 

[Grinner]

Why not? Maybe he'd like to feck over Roman with the only other club in the land that can match his spending.

 

[Isotope]

Crazy world. 28m for being rubbish? that could buy 14 thousands of that mini RV Grinner wants.
