What is hard to understand about a man who has played at the highest level for the biggest teams in the world and under the best club managers in the world having some footballing nous that might just help MCFC?
Forget the fucking self titled 'Hughes out brigade' , what about the unbelievable instant success brigade? Like i said, if you know your history of Manchester football you will find that one of our local teams 'one of the most successful teams in the world, ever' also wanted rid of an imbecile manager who didnt have a clue. Those same fans have questioned him down the years inbetween him building 4 world class squads and if they had had their way they would be about 14 titles behind Liverpool instead of 1. Just shows you eh? but then we know best
Blueju, please let me respond point by point...
He did OK with Blackburn (no better than Souness though, who actually won something with them). Perhaps he's cut out more for a job working with limited funds & workmanlike players.
Yes, he did a decent job with Wales however that's another example of workmanlike players again.
Good players (and he was very good) do not necessarily make good managers. In fact they rarely do.
Fergiscum was a proven winner before joining the rags. He took a team like Aberdeen to European success.
I never expected instant success. I've followed City for 30+ years so I don't expect a lot to be honest. I did expect progress, not for us to go backwards.
Backwards from? Erikson flattered to decieve last season. He had a couple of good wins, a lot of scrappy ones, and a lot of defeats where he reverted to type and had us sitting back after going a goal up. We havent gone backwards from KK's reign or Pearces, we have better players on board and unlimited funds. I keep reading posts on here saying 'i wouldnt give MH any more money ' well why not cos we have a bottomles pit. How do you know his choices in summer wont be as good as your imagined messiah? How do you know his players wont pull themselves out of their comfort zone and actually start sweating for the cause? I dont know but neither do you.
