Manchester City Thread

[sgerrard]

i think mancini is a great manager. He understands that to be champions you need mental strength. He give inter milans players that mental strength. they needed it to win that first title and then won it 3 years in a row.

City have wobbled abit, but i expected that, it always happens that the team who starts the season on fire has a dip.

The just need to grind out the results now.

Dont worry city, will will take points off united when we play them and hopefully that gives you the breathing space to win the league

COME ON CITY!!!!!

[aleister crowley]

you have more chance of seeing Tevez, Adebayor, Benjani, Santa Cruz, Robinho n Sneijder then Balotelli n him

Probably but we'll see what happens.

[aleister crowley]

But I'd rather see Sneijder at City WITH Balotelli.

That would be awesome.

[zee24]

Balotelli n Mourinho are like oil n water they just dnt get on well together.

IF it happened i see Sneijder at City rather then Utd in the summer, so its not all bad

[aleister crowley]

I personally like Bobby Manc, especially the way he's dealt with Tevez the mercenary.
He been proven right sticking with Joe Hart, over Shay Given.
my only criticism would be getting rid of Bellamy.

Sorry I had to go off for a bit.

Yes I agree Mancini has been good for them but as Bulldog said, they will want that extra step.

My only problem with Mourihno coming in would be what happens with Balotelli.
Mourihno washed his hands of him at Inter and said he was unmanageable.
I'd hope that Mourihno would give him a chance considering the work Mancini has done with him but I can't see it happening.

Losing Mario would be soul destroying as he has the potential to be one of the worlds best. I'd sooner City harvest his talent than let him go over some previous grudge.

Anything can happen with the Arab owners, if Mancini doesn't deliver the league he may be off, probably back at Inter.

If Mourinho leaves Madrid in the summer what are the odds Capello going back to Madrid after the Euros. Won't be suprised to See Mourinho at City tho n Rafa at Spurs come nxt season

I would like to see that too Maca but once the League is won they will want the big one like Chelsea do. This is where a manager with champions League experience might take over.

[maca]

Stick with mancini dont become another chelsea sacking every manager that fails to win the champions league. your top of the table now and looking good so why talk about a new manager coming in. if you where fighting relegation yea but not when your top. just my thoughts on it

[aleister crowley]

Mourinho likes clubs with an open cheque book, so that rules out united,
and he wont work with Abramovich again, I can see him at city, but I don't know if I'd want him, he plays too defensively, much more so than Mancini.

I don't think he does to be honest and I've never rated him as a defensive coach. He relies on the back 4 to do their jobs without him having to tell them what to do.
Strong midfield and forwards have always been his forte.

[Bulld0g]

Heard noises about Moyes but i don't think he's big enough to go there. I think he may be a bit like Joe Royle as a manager, good working with no money but not so good with money to spend. He's doing a brilliant job atEverton but when Ferguson retires i think a top manager with a proven record will take over.

[aleister crowley]

The only thing Solly will be the manager of is the club cafe
