Hi guys,
new to this forum any forum really!! Wouldn't say I am a huge city fan, though was pleased you won the PL last year. I rate Martin O'Neil highly as a manager.
I'm huge supporter of all sports real passion Rugby League, love lying on the couch watching any of the Major Golf Tournaments.
Great Topic here Mr Crosse and you have great points on why Mancini should stay, you would get me vote, how ever I don't beleive he's bigger than the club, and wouldn't be to sure he'd make the right calls regarding development of the clubs academy.
Enjoyed your views Mr Bob, you are probably right on what the board will do, took Sir Alex a while to bring consecutive trophies to ...
Cheers

I have a few problems with that.
1) Mancini has won something with every full season he has been with us, we have constantly improved.
2) Mancini could still win us the league, 2 leagues in 2 seasons, an FA Cup, but he gets sacked?
3) "But The Champions League" I hear you cry, well why the fuck would Pep do better? He has managed one ready made club, the best club in the world, He has much less experience than Mancini, doesn't know the premier league and doesn't have a squad he knows anything about.
4) We FINALLY moved forward in the last 3 years, why fuck all that up and take another 3 years to get to where we are today, only to turn around and wish we'd given Mancini a few more chances.
Bringing in Tixxie Winky or whatever his fucking name was just a sneaky move to tickle Pep's balls.
This season has been more rough because our manager was not properly backed in the summer. He knew our weaknesses,, he was not supported probably with signings that improved us.
I know he fucks up every so often, so does Fergie.
Barcelona played outstanding football because of 10 years of work behind the scenes, not by Guardiola. Guardiola came along and put the cherry ontop.
I would feel our club had turned into an infected cunt if Mancini won the league and we sacked him.
If we finish 3rd or 2nd by miles, then I could see the point in admitting he MIGHT have taken us as far as he can. If we fight until the end and finish a very close 2nd, fair enough, if possible he should then get another season with proper transfer backing in the summer.
If Mancini wins the league and we replace him with Pep, would we become a worldwide laughing stock?
