Peter Taylor on Mancini at Leicester

[gloucesterfox]

"He played only four games for the Foxes, but Peter Taylor, who signed Mancini in his spell as Leicester boss, said the former Italy star had shown managerial ambitions."

"He's a lovely man and was always asking questions," said Taylor.

I think you misunderstood Peter it was not that he thought he could learn from you it was that he couldn't believe what the idiot in charge was doing!

That's a bit harsh. I'm sure Mancini learned a lot from those he played up front with: Akinbiyi, Cresswell, Benjamin...

Frank O'Farrell too.

He left Cardiff to go to Iran. I'm sure the people living in Cardiff now wish they could do the same.

"He's a lovely man and was always asking questions," said Taylor.

Like 'why the f**k did you buy Akinbiyi?'

 

[Motown Fox]

I think Worthington did it as well

 

[Miles Away]

Did Ade and Roberto play together?

What a treat that must have been for Mancini, eh?

Can you imagine what Mancini must have been thinking during training about the likes of Benjamin and Ade...oh dear.

Stw MCFC: What is the most times any manager has signed the same player?
The Gaffer says: I would say Peter Taylor and Junior Lewis. Taylor signed Lewis five times (Gillingham, Leicester, Brighton, Hull and Stevenage) after first managing him at Dover. Lewis even joined the backroom staff at Wycombe when Taylor was in charge. It's quite surprising then that Taylor didn't give Lewis an England cap during his spell as caretaker manager!
