Cronky Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 They'd be fucking bonkers if they sack Mancini IMO. Let him buy the players he want and I can pretty much guarantee they'll reach Champions League next season. It was always going to be difficult this year with Hughes in charge of that squat pretty much entire new squad. The squad has now settled, Mancini will have seen what he needs to get rid of and where to strengthen. With a short contract, he's always been vulnerable, and I don't think he has the full support of his players. They didn't look prepared to go the extra mile for him. He got a three and half year contract, is that really considered short for a first contract for a manager? I stand corrected if that's the case, but I'd read somewhere that there was an option to terminate the contract at the end of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spuds may have been an annoying media delusion for the past several years but Man City are the worst thing to happen to Football since Hillsborough.

Cronky Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 There's too much instability at City, on and off the field. There's a problem with team spirit. When the pressure was on tonight, they fell apart while Spurs just kept going. Santa Cruz - a good player - came on but never looked like he wanted to bust a gut to save his team or his manager. At the end, Bellamy had a big grin on his face as he congratulated Redknapp. They've got a lot of players who came for the money and they're not really gelling yet.

Ronaldo Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 And won't. I said this on here last summer, they have the money but no spine to the team like Chelsea did from 04 onwards. No Lampard, no Terry, no Drogba. They have 11 overrated individuals and a manager who knew very little about them in December, and not much more now.

Village Idiot Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Nonetheless, they almost captured 4th spot with a squad that doesn't really have world-class players (Tévez maybe) and with switching manager mid-season. Their project has gained credibility, and even if they won't attract the Kakás, Torres or Messis they can go and get themselves some very notable players this summer. With Liverpool being a mess with a poor squad, I can't really see ManCity failing to get fourth spot next season. Honestly, as long as that sheik doesn't get bored they'll get there.

Teasy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Project, I fucking hate that buzzword in Football after hearing the Man City lot use it every five seconds in every interview they did for the last couple of years. Not having a go at you Village Idiot, just every time the Man City lot said it I found myself wanting to kick their faces in. Anyway I'm just glad they've been slowed down. Can't see them signing any players much better then the ones they already have without Champions League Football and hopefully if they qualify next year FIFA will have brought in the rules about spending vs turnover, I can hope anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the start of something horrible And it makes Harry happy Not a good night I don't think it was so much that they were particularly attractive to players. It was more that the press loved to link them with every good player going. It created the illusion that they were interesting/signing masses of class players when in reality they were mostly signing loads of cheap players with potential until recently.
