United Rant

   My hairy @rse. So, now it's squeaky bum time over at the Wastelands, all of a sudden there might be the possibility of allowing our old friend Carlos to show his ugly mug again?!

   I'd actually admired how Mancini had handled this whole affair and had essentially stuck two fingers up at the biggest mercenary known in the modern game. Unless, of course, he's taken a leaf out of Fergie's book about grown men moving on... ahem.

   Yep... exactly right...

   Mancini's feeling the pinch, and has twigged that Tevez, might be difference between winning the title or not.

   "Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching' tu madre! Come out from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you."

   Bringing back Tevez is inevitable

   Inevitable when you're relying on domestic shite like Milner and Barry and Johnson

   And they can't go out and spend millions because of the FFP. Mancini said so himself, that's why they're relying on freebies

   Looks like he is indeed heading back. Disaster waiting to happen. It could lead to a spark that ignites a fuse that sees their title charge implode. I fucking hope so.

   He'll come back thinking he has a point to prove. I hope he doesn't start performing. It's annoying enough that they have Yaya Toure coming back in time for the run-in.

   Having those 2 back will be enough to get City over the line, I fear.

   He's already fucked it up a bit by saying Fergie is the greatest manager he has played for

   Mancini looks weak and is enforcing the perception as long as you are willing to put a shift in, you can do whatever you like.

   Expect implosion until Mancini leaves. I certainly expect one or two contract rebels, because why wouldn't you - they can afford to pay whatever the hell a player may care to ask for. Why not put City under pressure.

   Still, same as sheesh, having Quasimobellend and Yaya back will see them over the line.

   Nah, he comes back they lose it in my view. That City's team spirit is based mostly on a hatred for Tevez. He will tear them apart and Mancini is mad to be letting him come back.

    I think they'll keep it together so long as they're winning

    If United keep up the pressure and it gets really tense toward the end of the season then they risk falling apart

    Tevez doesn't like Mancini's cautious approach, and if there's a game where City need a goal, and he throws on another midfielder or defender, then they will go into meltdown

    Heh, I also like the way Tevez is trying to dodge Mancini's much hated double training sessions already

    "I've been training on my own... There's no need for City to make me have two training sessions a day"

    That's the reason it kicked off last summer

    They are clearly panicking - Tevez could be their Asprilla.

    From the Caf:

    Sports.ru reporting Roberto Mancini has signed a 6-year contract worth €7.2m per year with Russian FA.

    "The head of the RAF Sergei Fursenko, shortly before his retirement, during Euro 2012, signed a six-year-old (before the World Cup 2018) contract with Roberto Mancini. Told Sports.ru Denis Bystrov learned from a reliable source in the ministry of sports."

    Must be a negotiating tactic. He will be crazy to leave and besides if his wife hates Manchester she sure as hell wont be loving Russia.

    I wonder if Abramovic was encouraging Russia to sign Mancini.

    Why? Moscow a lot better than Manchester. It's not like they'd be staying in Siberia. If you can afford it, Moscow is an awesome place to be. No way City let him leave though. They'll do whatever it takes.

    Nonsense... you don't get that rich by being a sucker.

    If they think Mancini is gouging them... bye, bye... their kind of money can always find a willing replacement.
