He got rid of everyone at the club \u2013 even the cook left. The family club I spent nine years with exists no more. What happens when Mancini goes? He takes his 50 recruits with him. Also, since he\u2019s been there City matches are incredibly dull.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ireland also blasted Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni and declared he will never play for the national team. The midfielder hasn\u2019t played for his country since 2008 after falsely claiming his grandmother had died in order to pull out of a Euro qualifier against the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t come back. I feel nothing for the national team. I don\u2019t feel at all guilty when they lose and when they win I never say \u2018oh dear, I could have been there\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if Ireland had qualified for the World Cup I wouldn\u2019t have gone. People are calling for me to return, but I only ever played five games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternational soccer doesn\u2019t interest me. Going away for three days to play in Andorra \u2013 I\u2019ve got better things to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ireland went on to dismiss the expertise of current boss Trapattoni, claiming the Italian was arrogant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anyone so arrogant,\u201d Ireland continued. \u201cI met him once. He was taking calls every two minutes and made me hang around for 15 minutes in his office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, he said, \u2018if you want to play then come, if not, it\u2019s no problem\u2019. He did that mainly so the press would leave him in peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForeign coaches, they\u2019re no good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Irishman\u2019s hometown of Cork was also subject to the midfielder&#8217;s rant, claiming he would rather &#8220;shoot&#8221; himself than return.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ireland is reaping what it sowed,\u201d he said. \u201cWe built blocks of flats just for the sake of it and now there\u2019s no-one inside them. It cost huge amounts of money and nobody is in a position to pay. But I don\u2019t care about Ireland. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll go back one day. Live in Cork? I might as well shoot myself. I prefer Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/bd47d0c5107313_news-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read more:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/04\/2378742\/mancini-is-doing-everything-wrong-former-manchester-city\" title=\"'Mancini is doing everything wrong' - former Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland launches scathing attack on ex-boss\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;Mancini is doing everything wrong&#8217; &#8211; former Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland launches scathing attack on ex-boss<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Andrew Kennedy 4 Mar 2011 10:24:00 Premier League,Stephen Ireland of Aston Villa(Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players Newcastle United midfielder Stephen Ireland has claimed the &#8220;family&#8221; values at Manchester City have vanished in a lengthy rant at his former club, national team and even home town.
