Since the chairman thinks he's the right man for the job that's all that matters right?

I was just referring to the poll at the top of the thread but Dougie went deeper and TH became abusive (as is his wont)

I am delighted at the chairman's interview. A classy guy saying exactly what I wanted to hear but he was a classy guy doing the same about somebody else a year or so back.Of course I want Mancini to be the man who takes us to the title but it isn't a given with him.

Well it kind of felt like your political party just won the election TBH.
Also, you mentioned that there was a number of pillocks on this site when Doug asked you what you meant. You should name and shame these pillocks.
Are you referring to those who had reservations against Mancini?
Come on, lets clear this up...

1) He should stay and be given the chance to bring his own players , to play to his preferred style with players he chooses and who suit that style.
2) Do I think he is the man? The answer still has to be don't know. I am still totally unsure but as I said let's have some stability and give him the next season to find out. I am still searching for real signs that he is the man but just cannot find them.As I said in a previous thread I can see that he has improved the organisation of the defence.Partly that's down to the zonal approach ( which I don't like)at set pieces and partly to a more cautious overall approach but at the same time I do think it's been at a cost as the overall team and specifically attacking play has suffered. And please don't answer that by pointing out some of the attacking play against Chelsea ( 2nd half) , Burnley , Brum. We have some great attacking players and when we get ahead and the opposition get it wrong we can rip through them but when the oppos get it right we really struggle. ( Stoke x3 , Everton x2, scum,Lpool, Arse,Spurs,Hull.Sunderland 1st half)
3) I remain to be convinced that his " style" will work here or that he has the man management or motivational skills required. The key points ,which those who believe Mancini IS the man hang their hat on, are his record in Italy and that this isn't his team.I can accept that to a point and that's why I think he needs to be given more time.His transfer policy ( ins and outs) this summer will be fascinating.
4) Tactically I believe the jury is out. Occasional things have suggested he is ok but some also say the opposite and particularly recent substitutions have been questionable.

Anyways, the ownes have said that he is their man for now at least so pointless right now. Besides I feel there's loads of people who voted at the time and haven't changed their vote despite changing their mind. Perhaps.
