Dealing with some bugs in the cup matches. Mostly it is working just some fixtures are not doing what they should do. I’ll have this sorted soon, but I’ll have to adjust another part of the program so that they work better together. Then there is one more big functional piece to do and lots of rats and mice things to complete. So it goes on…

Balotelli was interesting to watch this weekend from the point of view of man management. He can be a match winner, but now he is being immature and reckless, even dangerous to other players. Mancini is giving up on him for now, saying he won’t play him. -Best idea as he is now disruptive to the team itself, team discipline, and team morale.

How do you control him and get the best out of him? Quite a man management problem.
