Is Mancini Shit?

[zigackly]

The fact that Code is arguing against it is comfortable confirmation that it's true.

[Code]

I'm not really arguing against it, I'm just offering some perspective.

[zigackly]

I'm just pulling your leg. He's patently not shit, but he's no genius either, and I suspect he got the job on the basis of something similar to the Peter principle.

[Gym Beglin]

For the amount they've spent, and considering they won the league last year, and haven't been forced to change the team, or had horrible injuries...they should still be in the title hunt in February. And they ain't.

[Gym Beglin]

Case in point right now.

 

15 mins in Utd v Everton.

50% possession, 1 shot on target each, 1 corner each, 2 fouls each...1-0 United.

Whats your view of Real Madrid Funnyyy?

The Peter principle, I like that, it sums him up just about perfectly actually.

Ferguson has been with the mancs for 27 years and he has won the Champions League twice, Wenger has been with Arsenal for 17 years and never won it etc, etc

 

Again its not just something you throw money at and can expect to win.

Agree over the champions league and not being able to win by just heavey spending on players.

But the premier league is the opposite and you will win it if a team has a flood of cash invested say over 3 seasons.

The tables show you that from day 1 the league started and up to the present.

 

From just befrore the Premierships start and up to the present day the top spenders or the clubs which had consistent high amounts of cash to spend over say 3 seasons will win the league at least once in the three years.

From the start and up to the season 2004 the club has been United winning it apart from the one season when Blackburn had a three year period of cash injected in them.

They won it once then faded when the cash stopped.

The law of averages tells you that a team will have a off season now and again and up to 2005 when that happend then a club who arnt a top spending team will win.

That was arsenal who won there premiershiips when the top club had a off season.

Then Chelsea appeared because of the Ruski and them and United were the top spenders.

Then we went from one to two top spenders(invested in clubs).

That means a lower spending club is highly unlikely to win it as you might get one of the top 2 teams having a off season but for two at same highly unlikely.

Thats why Arsenal have never won or another team since Chelsea joined United.

Then City appear into that top spenders group and they have won it.

So the chances of a team outside them top 3 spenders of winning it is basically 0%.

United might slip out of it when ginsoak retires because over past feew seasons there spendig lower and whoever takes over from him might mean the owners having to increase the money given to him to spend.

Like every other Itallian, when the going gets tough they look for the reverse gear in their tanks.

Touched an Italian nerve eh? Get in your reversible tank.

HEAD-DICK in reverse you go.

Never been able to shake off an image of a Leicester City failure to be honest.

Mancini is shit. pure and simple.

 

His faith in ballsack stopped him busting a gut to get RVP, and letting him get to the scum was criminal. Im sure RVP thought at city he would be rotated with ballsack and the other 2/3 strikers, so went to united knowing he would play 100% of games. I am sure someone other than Mancini decided to sell ballsack as quite frankly anyone with half a brain cell could see he was a detriment to the team. If the mancs did not have RVP they were beatable if not average. With him and his goals they are unstoppable over 38 games.

 

Mancini has no idea what to do with tevez.

 

His transfer dealing this summer were laughable - how many games has rodwell or sinclair played. Very few.

 

He will be gone unless they win the FA cup

 

Mancini is just a clueless spineless nothing man, who has no idea how to shape his team.

 

I honestly think Mancini just about good enough for spurs certainly no where good enough to manage city

[skend04]

Won 4 league titles, 6 or 7 domestic cups and most think he's useless? Fucking mental.

[DooooodekNo5]

My attention seeking what?

 

I put a few Man City players in bold and did not include your wet dream Kompany, so fuckin what.

 

Get over yourself you deluded halfwit, who the fuck are you anyway?

 

Jesus, you really are a mentally retarded arn't you, you crave attention day in day out on a football forum because your a fucking freak, you bring the whole place down, but obviously you can't comprehend that or anything that goes against what your twisted mind thinks because your mentally ill.

 

You last sentance says it all, all about you isn't it?

 

Ill answer it though, im a forum member on a public forum just like you and just like everyone else here, im also someone that would destroy you if it ever came to it.

 

I'll have a look out for you next time im at the game if you want and say hello, shouldn't be to hard to spot a joyless, snidey, middle aged orange Jersey shore guido wannabee.

 

Enjoy your mental illness and mid life crisis you abortion of a human being.

You just lost.

 

And since you care so much about this forum maybe you should put your hands in your pockets and contribute instead of spamming them with your own insecurity.

I don't think Mancini is that good. He certainly isn't bad, by any means, but I think his managerial career has been blessed by a lot of good fortune. If he was better, I think Man City would win the league and do much better in Europe. I'm pretty sure he will be replaced in the summer.

[Kevin D]

I don't want to hear it, McBain. That cannon of yours is against regulation - in this department, we go by the book.

[mike23]

There should be a middle option really as I don't think he's particularly great but to call him useless is a bit harsh. Winning the title last season should really have been the start of a period of domination in English football for them but for some reason they've not looked right all season. It all started with a terrible summer transfer window and he's got to take the blame for that. Not one of the signings they made improved them at all and to be honest I'd have been pretty disappointed if we'd signed any of those players even with our current rather limited expectations so it was rather strange that the league champions signed them. He also started messing about with their defensive formation for some reason despite their defence being the best in the league last season. Add that to the fact he's still too cautious and still seems more worried about not losing games than winning them at times even against shit teams near the bottom of the league and he certainly has to take a lot of the blame for them being 12 points adrift at the moment.

 

But the players do have to take a share of the blame. There's not much a manager can do when a goalkeeper fumbles an easy save straight into the path of an attacking player or a midfielder puts through his own goal under absolutely no pressure like at Southampton yesterday or a player moves out of the way of a freekick in the last minute of one of your biggest games of the season like Nasri did against United earlier in the season. Their strikers have generally been missing the sorts of chances they were putting away last season and you can't blame the manager or tactics for that. The most frustrating thing about that great finish from Aguero last week against us was that he's spent most of the season failing to put away much easier chances. They could maybe have got away with a couple of their top players having average seasons but not all of them. Hart, Kompany, Silva and Aguero have been nowhere near as good as last year. Not terrible exactly but none of them are going to even be considered for the player of the season award when last season they all would have been in contention.

 

Unless things dramatically change before the end of the season then I can see there being a major overhaul of their squad in the summer. They'll probably get rid of quite a few and I think there will be a couple of really big signings. Certainly at least one big name striker (just hope they go for Cavani or Falcao rather than Suarez as I wouldn't trust our owners to turn it down if a huge offer was put in). Whether or not Mancini remains to oversee that overhaul remains to be seen. Most City fans do seem to rate him and it will depend how much goodwill last season's title win bought him with the owners. It might also depend on who's available. Mourinho probably will be as Madrid are having an awful season by their standards so City might want to get him in while there's the opportunity.

Anyone who goes head to head with Ferguson and wins can't be shit.

 

They are well off the pace this year but so are Dortmund and Real Madrid, you can't just expect teams to win relentlessly. Especially a team that isn't used to winning. Who knows how much that league season took out of them last year. A squad full of mercenary cunts doesn't help either.

 

They will be right up there again next season, with or without Mancini.

You attention seeking twat, its all about you is it not?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I obviously totally agree with you on this one moof.

[Bjornebye]

It's like doing a cheat on champ man ang giving a mid table 200 million quid to spend. If you don't win the league in your 2nd season, you are shit. If you don't follow it up with the champs league, you are worse.

 

He will be gone in the summer. If they get mournino I can see them winning the league and champs league next season

[cmuller]

I honestly can't work out what style of football or team he's trying to create at City.

 

Most managers have discernible tactics but Mancini seems all over the place.

 

Much closer to 'shit' than 'good' for me.

[spider-neil]

You have to have some ability to win this league so he clearly isn't 'shit' but with the squad City possess no way should they be 12 points off the pace, that's pretty disgraceful.
