He will always be a City legend for turning a losing mentality into a winning one, &imo that is his claim to legend status which can never be denied.
The other stuff about scoring goals with Aguero, Silva, Dzeko, Balotelli, Silva, Toure, Nasri etc; if you don't you are fucking useless.
Pellegrini has just basically fucked up almost everything that team did, & won two trophies. He wouldn't have done it with fucking Southampton & neither would Mancini.
I would like to see what Bob can do in difficult circumstances.
He qualified for the CL with Lazio and reached the UEFA cup semi final in the same year under very difficult circumstances.
Means nothing to me mate.
I would like to see him in the thick of it, with limited resources, for a period of time, & see what he has to offer.
Ummm, limited resources? Fiorentina won the Coppa Italia under very difficult circumstances. Asmentioned above, he did the similar with Lazio and after winning cups with ALL his subsequent teams you need him to prove himself at a team with limited resources?
How many trophies has he got now?
Not bad for a manager who needs to prove himself. He'd obviously be looking at the mid-table and thinking - 'Never done that before, better prove myself'.
Jeez!!!
Fuck me it's the return of the God squad, where you have to translate every post into 3 languages & check for errors.
I mentioned Martinez & the guy at Southampton imposing a style on those teams. In Italy, teams play like fucking Italian teams. Here, guess what, they don't.
I would like to see if Mancini can do that, HERE , with limited resources, not with a bunch of Italians, who already play like Italians, in Italy, where the league is generally shit & anything anyone does, means absolutely fuck all to me.
Thank fuck he's gone. Every simple conversation becomes a chore when it's about Mancini.
