Is he really top class? A top class manager can win with the assets that he has in front of him, such as David Moyes. A top class manager needs to lead by example, and Mancini is no leader. Saying things like, "Tevez will never play for this club again" and that Balotelli will probably be sold isn't doing good for the club. So what happens when a club see Tevez, the face of City, (well, on the banner anyway) go on a 5 month holiday and get no real punishment? Sure you can slap fines on him but he's making loads of money so what does that do? Wouldn't your squad get a little bit pissed off? I'm surprised Balotelli hasn't gone on vacation yet.. or maybe he has, he's been awful.
The fact is, when Mancini got asked about the title race, he said he needs to buy more players. That's already 300 million gone!?! What else could you possibly need? Maybe Mancini gets compared to SAF too much because they're the top 2 currently, but Mancini isn't top class. SAF uses his assets wisely, Mancini blows it all...
City fans (all of a sudden) are spoiled. Dzeko goes missing and now they want him sold.. Are you kidding?
