2. Roberto Mancini
A second successive Group Stage elimination from the Champions League must surely leave Roberto Mancini sweating over his future at the Etihad, in spite of his unbeaten streak in the league and second placed standing in the Table. Jose Mourinho really stuck the knife in the Italian's back this week though by stating
he would have been fired had he failed to get Real Madrid out of the Group Stages, and you have to wonder if owner Sheikh Mansour will continue to exercise much more patience with Mancini following another failure in Europe. Considering the amount of money he has lavished on the squad lately, you would really be expecting City to be performing better against the continents big hitters, yet with just three points amassed from a possible fifteen, City face the ignominy of missing out on even Europa League Qualification. Should City's form in Europe begin to seep into their domestic performances, Mancini might find himself in trouble.
