Former Tottenham and Barcelona coach Terry Venables says Sheikh Mansour should publicly support manager Roberto Mancini. El Tel wrote in The Sun: "Before you ask, it does not involve the mega-wealthy City owner opening his chequebook - only his laptop.
"He could blow away the clouds of uncertainty hovering ominously above the Etihad in one fell swoop by issuing a public statement giving his full and unequivocal backing to manager Roberto Mancini.
"And insisting the Italian will still be in charge next season, regardless of what happens in the remaining five games of this one.
"Such action might not be enough to earn them their first Premier League crown this season but it would certainly give them a better chance of doing so next."
