I dunno what the general consensus on Mancini is, but for me he has always been a just ok manager who has had some luck in his appointments. He is a chequebook manager, and he spent a fortune and only got his City side over the line in the last minute of the season making their challengers Man U look like they were a very good team. Which, they weren't. His three titles with Inter came with their main rivals in a shambles, Juve in Serie B.
I honestly don't think I would have wanted him even if he and Moyes both left their clubs that summer after he won the title. Not suited to us at all.
Whatever people think of the current boss, and whatever may happen with him good or bad, I think his type of long term thinking and investment in youth is more suited to where we are as a club.
Mancini seems a foreign Harry Redknapp who would murder our wage bill and leave us with a mess of a squad, all in the hope of a cup.....which for me is a worse throw of the dice than letting our current boss having his contracted time to build and see what comes of it
That was my opinion on Mancini the last time his name came up. His profile is lowering by the season
