Nearly a year ago Manchester City replaced Mark Hughes with Roberto Mancini in a bid to break that elusive Premier League top four and on Sunday the Welshman will come face to face with his former employers for the first time as his new side Fulham welcomes City to Craven Cottage.
But was the switch worth it, and has Mancini really improved things at Eastlands? Goal.com UK wades through the statistics to decide once and for all:
Worth it! Give Mancini time, and he will prove that he is a good manager. He has already started to clean the party&drinking culture in the club- left by Hughes...
I liked Hughes as a player for United. But as a person and manager, I am sure I have more beliefs in Mancini. But at the end its all about stats... Time will show if Mancini suceeds.
