Just checked, it was 8 points that season, 33 points the season before

To finish BOTTOM of that group is scandalous. He has ALWAYS been shite.
Some managers are just fucking lucky. He is one of those.

In fairness, it was a tough group, but still. It's the most expensively assembled squad, and on the highest wages, in the world. Finishing bottom is pathetic.

I remember thinking when we played his Inter side in the CL and we dicked all over them that he was shite.

Always falls on his feet. He'll no doubt go to big team after this, too. Somehow.
 
I called it at Christmas when he should have been running away with the title. Useless cunt.

It'll never happen in a million years, but I would fucking love it if Rafa got appointed.

Me too. Worst thing would be if they get a really good manager.

...But look at his scarf! JUST LOOK AT HIS SCARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
His record in Europe is shite and this season has been pretty depressive from start to finish. But he had that City team playing some of the best fotball I've seen last season.
5-1 at WHL and 6-1 at Old Trafford.

Shite is stretching it by pretty much imho.

Yes, how on earth did he mange to get those players Tevez 30m, Silva 24m, Balotelli 22m, Dzeko 21m, Aguero 30m, Yaya 17m to perform to such a high standard.
Hes a fucking diadora alchemist.

If trailing 13 points behind the leaders, with an amazing squad like that is the best he can do, he's fucking shite. He obviously hasn't a clue about gettin a team to gel together. There's just no excuses for him. He should have had that title wrapped up months ago.

And that doesn't even take into consideration the money he's spent.
 
Not to mention his fucking:

'He will never play for us again'

WELCOME BACK

'Balotelli is finished here'

WELCOME BACK.

The fucking scoper.
 
He isn't great but he did win the title (albeit by the skin of his teeth) so must get some credit. However, I have regularly argued with Man City fans in my office that he was pretty garbage whereas they reckoned he was great. I think this season has shown him up and he definitely deserves sacking, which is unfortunate as I'd quite like to see him continue taking them backwards.
 
He gets no credit. He's lucky and shite.

If Pellegrini is appointed he'll make City a very hard team to beat.
City or Chelsea for the title next season.
 
He's without doubt the worst manager to ever win this league.

Money and fuck all else.

The man is a lucky fucking prick.

Yeah, as I said earlier, this season has been horrendous.
He's looked mad and depressed for months.

I'm not saying he's a good manager. All I'm saying is that in the end he won them the league and the FA cup. And for that he gets some credit imho. They also played some amazing football last season no matter what the players cost.

I couldnt give fuck if he's sacked or not, and I couldnt give a flying fuck if people on here agree about him getting any sort of credit either.

He'll be remembered for this season which has been a shitefest and some subs even Rafa would raise his eyebrows to. In the end he deserves the sack.
Last in the CL group, losing to Wigan and 13 points behind Utd.
That doesnt change the fact that I'll give him some credit for last season.
 
And when you beat Fergie 6-1 at Old Trafford, I'll like you just for that even if he's just a decent manager.

Yep. I'll give him credit for last season. Thereagain, I also gave Rafa credit for winning us the Champion's League.

Past glories mean nothing, when you're not good enough in the present.
 
Soriano has always attached great significance to his coaches’ ability to motivate and communicate within his clubs; it was the reason why he liked Frank Rijkaard, his first coach at Barcelona, before the Dutchman went too far the other way and became too close to his players, to Soriano’s mind. Soriano described Rijkaard’s abilities in his own management manual, in terms which provide a revealing insight into why he is now looking for an alternative to the divisive manager Mancini is perceived to have become.

Soriano wrote of Rijkaard: “The Dutch manager did a good job of identifying the team’s needs and took on the role of coach, in that he spent a lot of time talking to the players, listening to them and, when necessary took firm decisions in the interests of the group. The members of the team gradually sensed that in Rijkaard they had an experienced colleague who helped them, who also had a firm attitude and would be boss when the situation called for it, always acting in the best of the group.” The Dutchman’s leadership evolved to the point where Rijkaard could devolve responsibility to players and rely on them to act on it, Soriano said.

He praised Rijkaard’s “coordination and conflict management, speaking to players in an approachable tone, always encouraging dialogue rather than adopting authoritarian methods. In 2005 Deco said they had won the league that year thanks to the fact that one day the whole of the team had met at a spa south of Barcelona and had openly discussed what they needed to do.”

All that seems a long way from Mancini’s methods this season, in which he has criticised scores of staff at his press conferences.

But above all, Soriano also wants a European football model in which a chief coach will be answerable to Begiristain, the sporting director, and a new style of football has already been prepared for, with a 4-3-3 technical football philosophy expected under Pellegrini. Asked to explain what assurances he would need from Malaga to stay beyond this summer, he added: "It's too complicated to discuss in a post-match press conference."

Mancini, who will be entitled to a multi-million pound pay-out with three remaining years on the contract he signed after winning the Premier League last season, was still in employment last night. Though he may be retained until the last game of the Premier League campaign, at home to Norwich City on Sunday, assistant Brian Kidd is expected to lead the New York trip.

Forget the other reports, SSN has just nailed this: their idiot on the spot has just announced breathlessly that the Man City bus has the number plate "WSM" - which he thinks 'might spell "We'll Sack Mancini". Sky has really improved football coverage in this country.
