Mancini Sacked!

[DDA 9,938]

Personally I like Mancini. I hate City beyond belief so I'm glad now they don't have anything I can feel a slight remorse for. Now I wish death and dishonour to all things Sky Blue.

City owners have connections with the Malaga owners, making for an easy deal. If they we're going for Mourinho, they'd have to have an 'Eden Hazard style' wage-war with us again.

Mourinho to United had more weight to it, due to how he acted during the CL draw.

I know everything about it.. was a massive fan of italian football at the time.

Then you should know that match fixing were for betting purposes. Juve didn't win the league because of the fixing and neither did they need the match fixing to win the league. They had by far the best squad in Italy at the time.

I'll give you three guesses. His name rhymes with Moutinho!

It rhymes? Or maybe it's a Liverpool player.

Pellegrini is a good tactician but I can't help but smile when I think that the Manchester clubs will have Moyes and Pellegrini at the helm. Jose will eat them alive in mindgames

Still a bit premature to state that he is definitely gone, it's merely speculations at the moment. But it looks very likely that he is going. What I'm most worried about is that they might actually have a go for Mourinho, despite strong links with Pellegrini, but we have first hand experience that strong links often mean nothing. Those rumours could be planted as a smoke screen to keep the real target a secret, like we have done in the past.

Even if they don't have any interest in Mourinho, then I'm also pondering the possibility that the JM camp will start milking the situation, stating to us that there is interest and we need to pay big bucks. Those kind of negotiations can stall the agreement for weeks, which means less time for preparation and more nerve wrecking.

I hope our deal with Jose is done or that it will be done soon, I'm talking days or even hours, because if it isn't when Mancini is officially shown the door, things could get ugly. I hope I'm wrong about this, but if I'm not, we could get royally fucked and settle for another de facto interim manager.

Best case scenario? Mancini stays, we get Mou.

Second best case? Mancini off, Pellegrini (or any other manager) quickly confirmed as a replacement, we get Mou.

^ He only won titles in italy because of the match fixing scandal, and could only win a league title (with a far superior team to United) by goal difference.

He won a Coppa Italia with Fiorentina, another Coppa Italia with Lazio, 3 Serie A league trophies, another 2 Coppa Italia trophies and 2 Supercoppa Italiana trophies all with Inter. Along with a PL, FA cup and Community Shield with City. Hes fairly successful, in fact very successful. Thats 12 trophies since 2001.

And not to mention, Mancini has an abysmal record in Europe.

His record in Europe is his only down fall in my opinion. He is a good manager but I don't know why he went and pissed about with that 3-5-2 for half the season though.

That wasn't my point..

The best side in italy were relegated, Milan had points deducted. Mancini won titles because of this, that scandal was the best thing to happen to his career. Even when he 'actually' won the title (as opposed to being 'awarded it') it was still because of this, and the effect it had on the league.

Since it was reported by BBC or SKY & most of you claimed these two are very reliable, then one may say it´s a done deal.

Mancini was not able to motivate his pussycats this year. Something has to be done.

[Ollie 4,400]

His press conferences are cringe worthy, he has no idea what people ask him and he has no idea what he's saying. Plus he's not a good man manager, the decision to play Hart yesterday was disgusting even though it was right i suppose it was a horrible way to do things. He fell out with lots of players due to his poor communication skills. Man City would've done a lot better in the last few years, at least performance wise and they woulda shown more resilience too with a real manager.

Anyway news just broke that he has gone. The Mancini era is over.

[Special Juan 28,141]

SKY have it....he's gone.

[Leif 6,006]

Might put money on him being the next Roma boss.

SKY have it....he's gone.

So City let it leak out at almost exactly the same moment their neighbours are celebrating winning the title and giving their manager an amazing send-off?

Twats.

How are you pal?

With Pelligrini I think they'd have the upper hand on an Isco transfer too. Unfortunately for us he's a good step up from Mancini. That said, the things a Mourinho Chelsea team could do. :eyebrows:

[Term-X 7,891]

I was relaxed about the Mourinho situation, but this has unsettled the waters.. a bit.

'Hopefully' the sheikh owner-connection to Malaga, plus the swift exit before the seasons over, means they've agreed terms with Pellegrini.

Relaxed for the first time since November. :tophat:

Don't we have some link with Malaga now? I think that we have still got a good chance to get him, if we so wanted.

Sky Sources: Roberto Mancini will be sacked by Manchester City

Sad Day. No One will fail with them, like mancini.

Okay, I completely misread your first post. Apologies..

[Special Juan 28,141]

Jose to City...
