But then again, neither are Rafa Benitez, Big Phil Scolari or Claudio Ranieri.<br /><br />My point is this; if we want to win the Premiership one day, we don't simply need a decent manager, we need a world-class one. Plenty of very good (and resource rich) managers have tried for the big prize and failed.<br /><br />I'm not ready to pull the plug on Mancini just yet, but to me, he looks more like a Rafa than a Jose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347733365918256797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858389158764090793.post-61112457087915019172010-04-28T16:13:10.935+01:002010-04-28T16:13:10.935+01:00There's one popular player who has had by his ...There's one popular player who has had by his own high standards a poor season and yet he will be given the chance to put things right and there's no talk of selling him on.<br /><br />But perhaps they do things differently at Anfield.Tonimoronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15666293294393253177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858389158764090793.post-6467152774916104052010-04-28T14:52:29.425+01:002010-04-28T14:52:29.425+01:00I still don't understand the pretence that Man...I still don't understand the pretence that Mancini isn't a proper manager.<br />The stats speak for themselves, The team has improved in all all regards during his tenure. <br /><br />Now your claiming Mancini wants to get rid of good footballer?thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979350709610936766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858389158764090793.post-78050745722163018212010-04-28T14:44:27.579+01:002010-04-28T14:44:27.579+01:00I am sure Mancini has marked their cards, but I ho...I am sure Mancini has marked their cards, but I hope (nothing personal) that his is also marked - and Jose is installed after he wins the Champions League.<br /><br />We'll see how special he is then.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804396245472913684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2858389158764090793.post-42984158762894337102010-04-28T14:15:23.280+01:002010-04-28T14:15:23.280+01:00When, as I fervently hope and pray, Mancini is sen...When, as I fervently hope and pray, Mancini is sent packing and we get a proper manager, this issue will be resolved by the new man.
