The WORST article EVER written.

[Hazy2]

Sorry for the Fuck you, Having spent the night in the Co of a rag or 4, your reasoning is more akin to a debate some twats talking shite after a boring cornerhouse drama. This is City and Mancini is more of a man than the likes of Hart and the CEO at this point for me. Still raw mate. Again offence caused was wrong. Sorry. Rags are made up I can tell you.

Nah, the rags I know are gutted, majority are trying to put a brave face on by deriding the new manager, but the truth is they are worried by the fact that we might actually be getting our shit together and hoped long may the Mancini circus continue.

Hold up, are you saying downing tools is fine if the suits and players get rid of the manager, tossing off the FA Cup is OK.My own view is Mancini scared some at City, Another point from my night out last night, Rag comment TBH - Holistic is that not the Arsenal way The win fuck all for years but hey we feel good about ourselfs mantra.....

You are ignoring the fact that the Cup final performance was not unusual in the slightest. We've seen loads like that.

Piccs if any manager matches his home record we will be flying, last week was players IMHO.

[Alioune DVToure]

Haha. The thing about him getting his eyebrows shaped/threaded is true! A girl-friend of mine spotted him once a couple of years ago and texted me.

It's got no bearing whatsoever on his ability to do the job, though.

Seems a decent enough article to me. Normally the press are wanting to crucify us for sacking a manager.
I do think Bob upset too many people and didn't really have any allies.
He was the same as a player. He always thought he was right

None of this spin, right ....

There is a helluva lot of truth in it.
It's only if you believe that it is an incredible that Mancini was sacked that you would see it as spin.

Where is your evidence that this is 'spin' ?

You are unhappy that these stories are coming out about Mancini but you & others are happy to accuse the club of underhand tricks. You have no evidence mate.

The hack's show this morning, they all said that these stories have come directly from the players talking to journos & been known for some time. Not released by the club after Mancini's sacking.

If you want to slate the players for that, then there is good evidence to back up your argument.

There is NO evidence to suggest it is spin.

I dont think there is ANY argument that most of the players couldnt stand Mancini and/or didnt want to play for him any longer.

Could the players stand him better last year, or the year before. It's nice if the group all get on, but it's not essential.

I agree that some players just seemed to stop playing for him, but I think there's more to it than just not being to get on with him.

So what happens if the players stop playing for the next man?

could have rolled in april they won at the scum and Wembey, last week riled me more than anything since a very long time ago. Joe Hart though I do not like the rumours I heard today if anyone else heard anything post it as I am done with the subject.

Was Joe the 'Text' fiend?

That's exactly THE POINT: it was when Mancini was brought in to fix it and it's now back to bite Khaldoon's naivety.

He is the only culprit and will pay the price of his massive mistake: it doesn't take a Philosophy Doctorate in Economics, nor to share opinions with fellow World Economic Forum members, to know that if You let mediocre snakes like Marwood to prevail over competence and work ethic, You are hardly going to be paid dividends.

I take a lot of these 'player comments' with a massive pinch of salt.

The main thing that I have learnt in recent years is that the press are not just massively biased to their cherished (previous) elite clubs - probably with whom they had/have established contacts and who have helped them to be able to enjoy a gravy train - but that they, by and large, they simply make things up.

There is no accountability / substantiation etc - but the british public just seem to be ingrained with an attitude that makes the shit they print become accepted as establised fact. Every day it seems that I hear someone mention about some event (footbal or non-football) that has happened - just because it was in the Sun/Mirro/Mail etc. Its as if these papers replace the need to think things through for yourself - yet so much is clearly bollocks.

I wonder just how many real comments have been made and just what percentage of these attributed comments are in fact either greatly embellished by the journo or simply made up.

Problem is, we know a lot Of that article is grounded in truth.

Two sides here mate, 1st the Chairman is behind the manager and he is in charge, 2nd Soriano gets the power seat and all change, It was not broken eneough for this. For players to win a battle with a manager, over tough love, calling out in public is for me anyway, a mistake. Fuck Joe Hart's Ego, Fuck his tantrum behind the managers back to start in the FA Cup final or else......... The same man thought it wise to be sat with rags hours after Derby defeat, I would loved to have seen this board if the manager was the mug doing that. The last week the club has seen player power win, We will see if that is the right way to go. As for spin read into whatever you want, the club broke the news before the cup final and have leaked like a siv since. Patrick Barclay told me that himself.
