I will say it again - Roberto Mancini.
Under him City had a bit of steal that they have now lost. It took steal to go on that unbeaten run at the end of 2012. In some respects we are in a similar position to City when he took over at the tail end of 2009. He was an infinitely better City manager than Pellegrini.
By the time he left them, he had gotten them into the Champions League, won the FA Cup and Premier League. He knows how to defend and would't tolerate crap like yesterday.
If Newcastle can get Benitez I see know reason why we couldn't get Mancini.
Not a bad shout that...I would be on board with that choice.
