Not a surprise whatsoever. Mancini is as negative as they come - he's just an expensive Pardew really. The uninspiring performances in the CL, the inability to retain the title. I seem to remember Guy Mowbray (or some idiot from the BBC) saying that the next 10 years were City's. I laughed at such a ludicrous suggestion - they were never going to dominate anything with Mancini in charge.
