I would agree that neither manager deserve credit for developing him as a centre half and personally was not suggesting they did, just pointing out that it was Mancini who was playing him there at City.Exactly he was a top player capable of playing a number of positions, but neither Hughes or Mancini deserve any credit for developing him into a centre half!
I can't understand the negativity to Mark Hughes on here.
He was a great player, no doubt about that. OK, as a manager he's just average, but he did OK at City, tried his best and seems like a decent bloke.

Mikael Silvestre was asked about how close he came to joining City on fantasy football. He said he was having the medical when Arsenal got in touch. He phoned Hughes to discuss it only for Hughes to say if he was in his position, he'd sign for Arsenal as well. What a shithouse.
Hmmmm. When you watch his 1 to 11 it occurs that he can't have been that bad.Well, Silvestre was shit anyway. Glad we didn't sign him, but obviously disagree with Hughes' approach

Zidane, Baggio and real Ronaldo?I imagine John O'Shea's would be similar
Same here. People saying he was the worst manager we've had. They've got very short memories. Hughes has moved on, it's time we did as well.I can't understand the negativity to Mark Hughes on here.

Short memories indeed. Not even the worst manager we've had since the takeover.........Same here. People saying he was the worst manager we've had. They've got very short memories. Hughes has moved on, it's time we did as well.
Not sure about that, to be honest.Short memories indeed. Not even the worst manager we've had since the takeover.........

Nothing to do with who he signed, or that he was a rag. Im talking about him as a bloke, he just doesnt seem like a very nice bloke at all. Not because of this, but an example: my mate was at the Swansea v Stoke game this season with his 2 children aged 13 (girl) and 10 (lad) sat behind the dug out. The father said to him 'welcome back to Wales Sparky' after a Swansea goal. He stares right at him, in front of the kids either side and surrounded by similar ages, and said "fuck off you fat ****". My mate laughed. But what a prick. Loads of stories about him when I was living back home in Manchester back in the day too. Hes an angry prick of a blokeHas he done something wrong? Genuine question.
I always thought he conducted himself fairly well and don't know anything about him outside of football. An average manager who I found uninspirational in the extreme but we signed a couple of our most loved players during his reign and he got the best out of some unexceptional players like Bellamy and Ireland.
Probably not the best time to antagonise a football manager when their team has just conceeded a goal you would think.Nothing to do with who he signed, or that he was a rag.

No, no, it wasnt right after it was in response to Hughes being so angry and stalking about. he was stalking around and making wanker signals at the crowd. And like I said, not because of this but this is an example of. We would all be disappointed if Pep called someone in the crowd a **** in front of his kids too.Probably not the best time to antagonise a football manager when their team has just conceeded a goal you would think.
