IS Bobby Mancini THE MAN?

[MaineRoadMemories]

I quite like Mancini, he was millimetres from headbutting Gollam. That would mean he'd get instant legend status from me!

Ha ha ha, me too mate!

[ashton287]

Iv always been annoyed at how non chalant and cool he has been when we've lost points but after watching gollem fucking shit it from him last night he's got my backing atleast till murinho is available

[Douglas Higginbottom]

I suppose it's best to suggest that he was showing passion rather than the reality that he simply lost his cool.

I acknowledge, better than suppose, it is totally irrelevant because he'snt appointed to win an election but to accomplish targets and progressively deliver success.

Within period/s of given time, which is/are entirely up to Owner/BoD to define.

That's what differs a manager from a politician... so that there is no need to suggest anything.

[johnny crossan]

Mancini will prevail, 4th or not and remember that clubs up to and including 7th place will be in Europe next season even if Pompey win the FA Cup - they haven't got a UEFA license and it's too late now.

this is true, but I liked it all the same

[johnny crossan]

To all intents and purposes we brought in a caretaker manager, that what a 6 month contract in football is.
the answer might lie in what you imagine that contract to have looked like...

I prefer to believe Mr Mancini about the length of his contract

i voted no after all the shit we've played since he's been here so negative at home ,caught chelski during their "slump" truefully even with hughes we would of won the games Mancini had at the start i hope he's not here next year

I'm teetering right on edge of no after last night.

If you asked me in December would I be happy to qualify for the Champions League if we played like wankers and won most of our remaining games, I would have grabbed your hand off. However now we are 4 months into it, the reality is striking me somewhat different, and I am now starting to find it a chore, and utterly depressing to watch City regardless of the result.

I would love to say yes, as the results overall would indicate we are doing alright, but I dont think I can watch another season of this football.

You won't, i will personally donate £50 to the charity of your choice if we do. That is how confident i am.

I think he'll get the bullet in the summer too mate...

There's a good few disgruntled fans. Disgruntled with the style of play he's enforced moreso than anything...

I think we've seen some glimpses of attacking football on occasion since he took over, but not nearly enough for my liking. Also, the only game where I felt we got beaten all over the park under Hughes was Spurs, but under Mancini there's been a few teams now that have handed us our arse on a fucking plate.

I would have thought the first thing he would do would be make us hard to beat, but he has actaully taken that away if anything.

As ever though, I want the guy in charge to succeed - in both performance and results - and if we get fourth with our football improving as we go, I'll be one happy bunny.

What about Burnley and Hull at home under Hughes?

Poor home draws as a result of individual errors, but in no way were we outperformed as a result of neagative tactics.

How can you have your arse handed to you when you didn't even lose?!!

Were'nt Everton's 4 goals against us all individual errors?

[Original Dub]

Well mate, all goals can somewhere be put down to an individual error, but I meant glaring indivdual errors against the run of play when we always looked like we were going to win as the game went on.

In no way did Hull and Burnley own us under hughes. Everton and Hull did under Mancini.

You must see what I'm saying in some capacity surely?

I do yeah, i just don't think it was as extreme as you are saying.

Everton away for example we were missing Bridge, Lescott, Toure, Adebayor and Ireland. Santa Cruz went off after 7 mins and had to bring on Benjani at half time, against Burnley and Hull we had our full strength side out, even against Hull we had the luxery of having Kompany on the bench as an unused sub. I'd like to think that game against Everton away would have been a different game if we had a full strength side out.

For every game as you said we were bad and had our arses handed to us against Everton twice, Hull and United we were excellent in the games against Chelsea, Fulham, Blackburn, Wolves and gained solid wins against Bolton, Pompey and Wigan.

It could be better but it's not as bad or negative as some are making it out to be.

Hats off, I apologise for mistaking you for a WUM post Chelsea.

You make valid points and don't get me wrong, I do support Mancini, I'm just nervous about the way we start every game. Maybe that's natural when trying to contend for shit, I really wouldn't know!
