Roberto Mancini feels that the English press is ganging up on him because he's Italian. He also feels that he is no danger of being sacked. Surely he can't be that naive. I'd say that if City lose against either West Brom or Manchester United in their next two matches, Mancini will be looking for a new job. I feel a certain amount of sympathy for him because as i said before, it's impossible to keep that many star names content. Three losses in a row has left Mancini clinging to his job by his fingertips. The horrendous displays against Wolves and tonight against Lech Poznan suggest all is not well behind the scenes. There have been on-field bust-ups between Vincent Kompany and Adebayor and Yaya Toure and James Milner. Yaya Toure has also questioned the ambitions of some of his team mates which is laughable considering he left Barcelona for a team who are in the Europa League and who haven't won a trophy since 1976. It seems that the team is made up of over-paid, egotistical lunatics who have completely over-inflated opinions of themselves and their talents.
It really is starting to look like a situation that is unmanagable and with the amount of money being spent, expectations are ridiculously high. I'm not sure who City could get in to replace Mancini or if a big named manager would even take the job. Mancini is a good manager and he needs to be left alone to do as he sees fit. As i said before though, they have too many players for each position and that means that big names (and egos) are being left out which is obviously causing tension in the dressing room. The 3-1 loss tonight was incredibly poor and it really leaves Mancini in a dangerous position.
