Colinjb Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Hardly a shock. Domestically a great manager but has achieved nothing at European level. For their ambitions to push forward it makes perfect sense.
Lighthouse Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Have we ever had a season when the managers of the top 3 clubs all leave? Not surprised. I don't really rate Mancini but I do think this was short sighted.
Pugwash Posted 13 May, 2013 Author Posted 13 May, 2013 It's the same old demand for instant success. What was it, 5 seasons before Ferguson won anything? Not as bad as FC Sion: http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22513334
bpsaint Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 Even if they'd won the FA Cup I still think he'd have been given the boot. Sign of times unfortunately, with owners like City's they expect success and have no time for sentiment. I'm sure Mancini won't be short of job offers though.
saintmatt Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 He deserved the sack the moment he moaned about a lack of funds!
buctootim Posted 13 May, 2013 Posted 13 May, 2013 £28 million payoff! Its in his contract so he should get it, but what a crazy system its become.
Joneth Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 Personally I don't rate Mancini particularly highly. I don't think he's anywhere near as tactically aware as the manager of a top european club should be. Man management wasn't great and the constant 'Ah dunno awhy my teama lose' press conferences don't exactly inspire confidence. Right decision in my opinion.
Sour Mash Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 Right decision. Interesting to see that the managers for the clubs that in 2012 won the following have all been sacked; Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, League Cup, Championship, Championship runners up.
skintsaint Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 With Citys squad they have underperformed and didn't even run Utd close to the title, after flopping in a pretty standard CL group. The FA cup I think was the icing on the cake for their owners.

The FA cup I think was the icing on the cake for their owners. Pretty standard group? Real and Dortmund. A semi finalist and finalist. One team who knocked united out Not standard at all
skintsaint Posted 14 May, 2013 Posted 14 May, 2013 Ah yes, I thought they had Ajax and Shakhtar in their groups. Ill take that back after seeing where Dortmund are now Still shouldn't have come bottom though.
