Problem is Roman doesn't give a flying f**k what the fans think!

Being as wealthy as him his not relying on shirt sales, gate takings to fund the club, he will just pump more of his personal money. Going to games and voicing disapproval isn't going to bother Roman either, you don't get to his position of power without upsetting alot of people along the way.

Even if Rafa goes Di Matteo ain't coming back, he won't be running 'who do you want' polls to see who the next manager is, he will just appoint whoever he wants for whatever reason he wants.

And then when his had enough he will pull all his money out and there back to square one at best!

You make a good point about the fans but this in now affecting the players.
There are threats of players walking out in January and what decent player would want to join the Chavs no matter how much money is on offer.
They already have Guardiola ruling himself out of the job because he believes the club has no stability and I dont know any quality manager in the world who would take on the job.
As ID has said I dont think they could have found a bigger cockhead than Rafa to be interim manager

Agree but I reckon Roman works off the every one is replaceable formula, and there will always be players looking for a massive pay day to play in the EPL! Look at the blokes that are happy to take huge amounts of cash to be essentially reserves players at Man City.

I don't agree or think it will work, just trying to think in the mindset that Roman has.

without doing the typical rafa hate cause his ex liverpool. He took a team that played creative expsanvice open football that was a bit shakey at the back and change it to a team that has slow change from defence to attack, trys to defend more than attack, has no creative, barely any shots and struggles to scores and is still shakey at the back and look likes we will be lucky to finish top ten

You were only shaky at the back because you played wide and guys like Ivanovic, Mata, Mikel loved getting forward but were not great pressing back and often got hit on the rebound but atleast they were creative and you dont mind if you let a few in at the other end because their offensive output outweighs their defensive frailties.
Rafa's style is to play narrow and not allow defenders to press forward and even the mids stay camped in the middle. There is no creativity at all and I struggle to see where the goals will come from.
Guys like Mata are freaks and need to be let off the leash and given the chance to play freely

Chavs fans are not the only unhappy ones in London by the sound of it.
The Arsenal fans let the club and Wenger know what they thought of their effort last night, quite a fair bit of booing at half time and full time. Wenger has come out and stated he will consider his future at seasons end but to me it seems like his reign is coming to an end, he doesnt have appear to have the same passion anymore and sounded quite dejected last night.

He does have that look that his sick and tired of dealing with the board and everything else at the club.

Every supporter I have asked has now agreed with me that wenger should step down. I and the rest of us thank him for his success and what he has done for us but we need a new direction for the club. I haven't personally felt this way since early 1995 with Brian r as caretaker manager .

Mikel suspended for 3 games for using threatening language towards Clattenburg. Only reason it wasn't longer was because the FA believed he truly thought he was racially abused.

Apparently he threatened to break Clattenburg's legs. :lol:

Should have been far more than 3 if that is true.

Man U with a beautiful counter attack after City had done all the attacking .. Rooney maybe a bit fortunate with a Mis-kick, but you take your luck in this game

Man U 1 City 0
