[size=13pt]Clash with City's goalkeeper was beginning of the end for sacked Italian manager [/size] Roberto Mancini sealed his fate with the Manchester City players when he publicly criticised Joe Hart in Real Madrid’s Bernabeu Stadium as long ago as last September, it can be revealed. Mancini is coming to terms with life as an ex-City manager after being sacked two games before the end of the Barclays Premier League season late on Monday night. As reported by Sportsmail, the Italian’s fractured relationship with his own players was at the core of his dismissal from the Etihad Stadium and Mancini never had a chance once he had taken on England goalkeeper Hart in the wake of a Champions League defeat in Spain last autumn. Sacked: Roberto Mancini was dismissed by Manchester City, largely because of his argumentative nature Informed on the way in to his post-match press conference after City’s 3-2 defeat that Hart had told TV cameras that his team-mates had no excuses, Mancini deliberated over whether to respond. Then the City boss told reporters that Hart should ‘stay in goal and make saves. I am the judge, not Joe Hart’. It was this comment that City’s players took as a betrayal of one of the dressing room’s most popular players and, from that point on, there was no way back. One message from a first-team player simply asked: ‘Is it time to put the champagne on ice?’ All of this may seem very strange, given that players such as Hart, Vincent Kompany, Gareth Barry and James Milner had won virtually nothing before Mancini guided City to an FA Cup win in 2011 and the Premier League title a year later. Sadly, though, it just tells the story of how much Mancini was struggling to keep relationships going at every level at City by the time he was dismissed rather cack-handedly this week. In their statement on Monday night, City spoke of their desire to adopt a more ‘holistic’ approach, a responsibility that will fall partly to Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini once he signs a contract in the next two weeks. The club were understandably lampooned for such peculiar language, but it was their way of pointing to a lack of togetherness and communal direction felt at the club during the latter half of Mancini’s three-and-a-half years. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2324556/Roberto-Mancini-sacked-Manchester-City-criticising-Englands-Joe-Hart.html |

Imagine it. I had said it for a while since last season. Joe Hart clearly was the one killing Man City. Many argued. From the Peter Crouch's goal which was a joke, to the Elimination of Man City from the Europa Cup last year. With two Freekicks from Marti Fernandez in the Sporting Lisbon game. To the Liverpool game where two long range shots easily beat Joe Hart. To the Southhampton game. The Real Madrid Game that Two long range shots from CR7 and Marcelo took away an epic victory of Man City against Real at Bernabeu. Well Mancini, the writing was on the Wall. You should have dropped Joe Hart for Pantilimon this season. Joe Hart knew you were going to play Pantilimon next season and plotted your downfall. Next time don't give anyone preference. Why drop Pantilimon for Joe Hart in that final. Crazy. |

Kompany could also be blamed for the loss to Real Madrid. Had he not ducked under Ronaldo's shot in injury time, that game would have ended in a draw. You're right though, that Joe hart has had an inconsistent season. |

CFCfan: Kompany could also be blamed for the loss to Real Madrid. Had he not ducked under Ronaldo's shot in injury time, that game would have ended in a draw. You're right though, that Joe hart has had an inconsistent season. Don't mind them, they all had a hand in this. You can see Nasri even ducking the Van Persie Free kick. I don't know why Coup in English football is so much. Coaches who have suffered I remember are Paul Ince at Blackburn, Juande Ramos at Tottenham, Scolari at Chelsea, Villas Boas at Chelsea. |
