Sales of the blue and white scarf recently worn by new Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini (above with scarf in hands) have reportedly gone through the roof in the last 2 weeks since the Italian took over.
He first appeared in the garment when being introduced to the fans, with one fan in particular commenting 'I know nowt about the lad but anyone who can carry a scarf off like that must be worth a go!. If you'd av told me I'd ever be thinking about buying a scarf and sticking it around me neck, I'd av thought thee were fookin mad! but I reckon I might get me one of those!'.
Mancini once again sported the neck appendage whilst stood on the sidelines watching his team beat Blackburn 4-1 last night and was copied by his opposite number Sam Alladyce who went with a grey scarf/jacket combination. A move which did not go down well with fashion conscious Mancs. Lindsey Buckingham from Burnage said 'Big Sam shouldn't av worn a scarf, he just hasn't got the raw fashion ability of Roberto'.
Scarfs were invented in 1867 by Venetian inventor Luigi Scarfi, who wanted to find a cure for his chilly neck after a late night winter walk home from his friend Massimo Cravati's house, and have become a staple diet of the Italian mans wardrobe ever since, despite the opinion in Britain that they 'look a little bit gay!'.
The scarfs are available from the City club shop for a very unreasonable £65 plus wool tax but it's not just the neck garment that's got fans swooning, lifelong blues fan Gary King said 'Its not just his scarf we love here at city, its his lovely hair.....he must use shampoo or summat on it?!? its superb. If i weren't bald i probably have the same style myself........it'd go great with my man bag!'.
The club in line with the demand to want to look like Mancini will bring out the 'Dress like Roberto kit' featuring scarf, raincoat, wig, Italian phrasebook and man bag available for £120 plus ridicule tax.
The clubs heartless backstabber Garry Cook commented 'No ones getting carried away with the clamber to want to look like Roberto, if you remember we had the same thing when Sven took over but we wasted millions on developing the Sven spectacle, grey suit and blow up Ulrika Jonsson doll kit'.
Other clubs also sell manager merchandise with Manchester United selling the used chewing gum spat out by Alex Ferguson when querying the time added on at the end of the games, and Arsenal sell the popular 'I didn't see the incident specs'.
