Mancini Interview in the mail

I like Mancini, he's got nice hair and wears the scarf well. Now shut the fuck up and win us something!

but he's had his hair cut off and he's ditched the scarf - do you still like him?

[Socrates]

Mancini talks a lot of sense & most of what he says I agree with 100% but in reality he contradicts himself quite a lot. If there was one player who fits the ideal he's describing there it's Bellamy who's passionate & absolutely driven to obsession on the subject of football. Now he's been conveniently shifted out, probably to protect Balotelli from getting untold shit from him for sometimes doing the very things he (Mancini) is complaining about.

P.S. I like Martin Samuel, he hasn't held a grudge against us over the Hughes debacle like many others.

Who needs critics in the press with gobshites like you around?

Oh serious? Even if it was the right decision to sack Hughes, the way it was handled was terrible.

Many people think so, some just regret that it was leaked. Doesn't change the point that is completely unnecessary for some people to harp on about it on virtually a daily basis nine months after the event!
