When Mancini said last year that City had no chance of winning the league with 6 games to go and they were 8 points behind but ended up winning it, people said it was a masterstroke by him because it took the pressure off the players.Maybe its a bit of that. Its not what the fanswant to hear though as it does come across quite negative.

What would be interesting is to understand why he thinks that. Whether it's a lack of quality in the side, a lack of depth. Once you understand why you're not producing you can do something about it.
Of course it's quite possible he's saying all of those things, just not in public, but I really hope he's not portraying this kind of negative attitude to the players in private.
Obviously having money can make things much easier, but we clearly don't have that, so have to make up where we can instead.
To use the marginal gains stuff from British Cycling, can our coaches improve our players technically by a few percent? What about their fitness? Maybe tactically we can get better, or do better at producing young players good enough for the first team.
Those things tend to be operational rather than financial. If the back office people did the same, then we might generate a bit more cash to spend on new players as well.
What criteria are you basing that on, and why are you cutting out the analysis period to six years?
