City though have made themselves look a joke here. I liked Mancini, but the players know they can turn on the manager and he gets sacked.. not them.. its just the wrong way to run a club. TBH Pelligrini? is a risk, he's done well but also not well at other places. Mancini is a proven winner, time and time again, and a young bloke. City could have dominated with him if they'd just given him stability.

Its why I'm so pleased United gave Moyes a 6 year contract from the off.. a very bould statement.. thats a 30 million pound investment.. nice touch.
You're right. United are going to undertake massive changes at both manager and board level and now would be the time for the likes of City to capitalise on the uncertainty.

But then this? I think Mancini's made mistakes but so did Ferguson in the early years. He's got them to two FA cup finals in three years and won the league once; compare and contrast to the previous three decades. Absolute madness on the owners' part.

That said, I'm looking forward to the Victory parade tonight. Danbert, we can compare notes next week over whose is louder and better this year
