Thank you Mancini, even if I we can go back in history I would have wanted Mancini as manager. Won the league like nobody ever can !!

Forza Mancini !! Meet you in Champions League soon

I don't think it was the right descion, but what is done is done.reading today that there were many rewsons for sacking him, but the fudemental one was the aparent deterioration of the relationship between him and a lot of our players, with as many as 6 or 7 established internationals wanting out.if that is true then I support city.thanks for the memories roberto mancini, in my eyes you are a city legend, but life goes on, and city comes first, I am sobbing in my cornflakes writing this, apologies for shit spelling on my tablet inspain

And one last time....

Roberto Mancini.

The king is dead roberto mancini :-)

Official statement from the club - platt has gone now. Trying to cheer us all up obviously

Official statement from the club - platt has gone now. Trying to cheer us all up obviously

With regret Manchester City announce that David Platt has this afternoon left his role as Assistant Manager at the Club.

David was offered the opportunity to continue his work with us but has declined the invitation. He has decided to leave his role with his close friend Roberto Mancini.

David has made a significant contribution to the Club’s success since joining in 2010 and we wish him well with his career wherever that now takes him.

Fair play to him for showing loyalty. The club statement is rather tacky. We now have a disloyal rag at the helm.

Hopefully he takes Barry with him

Couldn't agree more, would love to see Xabi Alonso coming our way

Replace a slowing and ageing midfielder with another one?

While on the surface you might have a point, Alonso's pin point passing and amazing ability to cover the ball still gets him out of the trouble even in highest level. That is not the case with Barry.

I'm not one of the people harping on about past great players but I must admit that I've always had bit of a man cruch with Alonso. Stunningly amazing footballer who genuinely DOES those things that don't necesserily meet the eye lot of people claim Barry does. Keeps the formation together, can deliver crucial balls sideways and forward. Quick thinker and always helps players around him shine. I would make an exception on him and bring him in for few years. Not that he would come or anything but in theory.

Would also provide ample cover at the back to allow Yaya to be pushed into a more attacking role. Barry is clumsy as fuck in possession and attempting to make a decent tackle. It's time to get rid.

No more over 30's thanks.

We need to be looking at the 19-24 bracket.

I agree and that kondogbia lad that plays for Sevilla looks a real star in the making.Could do Barry's job and he can even run as well:)

Like I said, all purely hypothetical. He wouldn't even move. Generally I very much agree with you.

We all saw how static Alonso was against Dortmund.

Reus,Gotze,Bender,Gündoğan Anyone seeing a theme?

Fast intelligent,skillfull,YOUNG players.

Them and Klopp and I think this time next year we'd be drinking champagne from that little CL cup. Might make Dortmund fans bit pissed off but as one wise man once said "tough shit".

In reality, this team doesn't need much but I feel we are desperate for player like Gotze. Absolutely desperate. Shame Bayern were faster than us. that 35m or whatever is going to turn out to be a bargain.

[Arjan Van Schotte]

What the fuck does 'holistic' mean.

i think it means being nice to people.

Fully integrated at all levels (of football).

no, definitely being nice to people.

[Yaya Toure is a LAD]

No way. Chelsea reject. Wouldn't be happy at all.

Fair point, Mourinho it is!

[Risby]

Fair point, Mourinho it is!

Ha ha, wouldn't want him either.

[Hazy2]

The cull has continued see O.S

[Beefymcfc]

Manchester City can confirm that Ivan Carminati, Fausto Salsano, Massimo Battara, Angelo Gregucci and Attilio Lombardo have left their respective roles at the football club.

We thank them for their contribution to Manchester City since their arrival and wish them well with their future careers.
