The Sun<\/em>.<\/p>\n“I didn’t receive any new offers and, in any case, my absolute priority is to achieve the right results and the right trophy wins with City.<\/p>\n
“I worked hard on this project and the steps have been both forward and positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we are a team.”<\/p>\n
Mancini has praised the work of the men funding the purchases and wages at City, and says that owner Sheik Mansour and chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak are happy with the job he is doing at Eastlands.<\/p>\n
“Both Sheik Mansour and Khaldoon Al Mubarak are satisfied with our development,\u201d Mancini added.<\/p>\n
“They are ideal men to have as your directors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey know you can’t build anything important without investing the right amount of time as well as money.<\/p>\n
“Achieving fourth would mean our principal aim for the season has been achieved and the season is already positive.<\/p>\n
“If we get fourth and win the Cup, then it is an extraordinary season given the last time City won something was as long ago as 1976.<\/p>\n
“I am sure that, if we win the FA Cup, next season we will fight to win the title.”<\/p>\n
Despite scoring 10 goals in his debut season for City, Balotelli has had his reputation dented by numerous stories about his behaviour off the pitch.<\/p>\n
However, Mancini says that his \u00a324m signing last summer was one for the future, adding: “He will definitely stay.<\/p>\n
\u201cMario is an ongoing bet.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has shown he has all the right qualities but needs to do more, much more, to give sense to his talent.”<\/p>\n
Reports have included stories of the Italian throwing darts out of a window at training and more recently having his car towed away 27 times after illegal parking.<\/p>\n
“If he could perhaps maybe even walk to the restaurant he would become a champion,\u201d Mancini joked.<\/p>\n
“His car has not been towed 27 times, it’s a bit less than that.<\/p>\n
“But, yes, he does get lots of fines and that’s because, even though he lives just 500 metres from the restaurant, he goes by car.<\/p>\n
“You can’t park in front of the place, so he parks on the pavement.”<\/p>\n
