Not sure what this has to do with what I said...?

City were a nothing club for most of the PL era, but any season where you have a player score in the 93rd minute of the final game to win the league is exciting whether it's a fairytale like Leicester or one of the usual suspects.

 

[FAITH]

Citeh supporters do you regard Mancini your best ever manager

haha i think I misread your post. Thought you were saying that you grew up hoping City would lose every week when they were rarely relevant or on TV during our lifetimes

Surely Mercer is still rated their best by long term fans.

 

[Magma]

of the modern era certainly. but overall it's joe mercer.

Haha that would be petty.

I deliberately put following rather than supporting because I am a pretty casual PL fan.

Fake news

 

[moomba]

Mercer for me, but that was before my time. Mancini since I started suporting.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Fake news

i said nearly. 12 or 13 years out of 32.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Mancini was too cautious wasn't he? I remember a game at the Emirates when he did a Mou and parked the bus playing for a 0-0 when he really needed and could have got a win. Perhaps that was more a one off though I dunno

Who do you think is better out of Harry and Poch?

 

[FAITH]

I don't get the hate for harry he was good imo, but poch could be best manager in the world within 3years

Harry had us playing some lovely stuff at times. Think the hatred comes literally by the way he talks - because he is a bit of a commoner. Snobby people don't like him

He didnt take a lot of risks but we played some beautiful football under Mancini (1-6 at Old Trafford, 1-5 I think at Spurs).

What he did though was control games, especially at home where we were near unbeatable.

11/12 for sure. That game at Arsenal the season before sticks in my memory because of all the flak he got. Deserved his title though

 

[Magma]

yeah he really took the club to that level that hughes couldn't dream of. made us tough to beat and just tough in general. shame he has the people skills of a mature age uni student. everyone hated him.

That's actually part of the reason I love Arry. Wish he was still in the premier league, I thought he was great value haha
