Whether he didn't want to play or didn't want to warm up is neither here nor there. It was gross misconduct and I'm not surprised Mancini did his nut. Don't get me wrong. After our performances in his last season I think Mancini deserved the sack but until a manager goes he's got to be the boss. No exceptions.
I believe that was afterwards & a reaction to Mancini's behaviour, not the initial reaction to Mancini telling him to warm up. I believe Dzeko was the biggest culprit for arguing with Mancini that day, & Tevez got the fallout from it.
I agree though that Mancini had to be seen to be in the right, hence why the players said nothing at the time & the bosses backed him, but word from the dressing room appears to be that quite a few were hoping he would be sacked after the season finished.
Mario: I'll applaud him if/when he next takes to the pitch at theitihad, (provided he doesn't cunt himself at their place) but I now hope he fails completely & causes shitloads of trouble.
