LOL. I think people just post and not read the thread. Page 3 has a 15 games comparison and support of Hughes.

Look 2 posts above your mate. A 15 game comparison is made.

The point is that after 15 games Hughes is almost on par with Sven. 15 games and 30 points for Sven 15 games and 26 points for Hughes. We can't use the Sven was better argument based the above.

Bolton at home is the last on the list and was played on Dec 15th, but you are right that it is 2 games more than we have played this season (3pts from those 2 games extra games under Sven).

Good spot! I was just copying and pasting the info. Fixing it now

I think it puts our progress in perspective.

Best Young British Manager is Martin O'Neil in my opinion (2nd is Moyes 3rd Hughes)

Well it took some thought and time to put that together, so I for one applaud the effort rather that cast it aside.

Great analysis, thanks for that :)

And I guess you just HAVE to read it then? What did I do this time? See any 'Hughes Out' comments from anyone here? NO. For once we're having a cordial discussion about where does Hughes rank amongst City coaches. You're the one looking to start the crap slinging again. Seems like anytime...

Pigeonhö, with the money spent since Hughes got put in charge, do you think that any other manager would have gotten the same results?

I think even the Hughes Outers will agree with your last sentence.

I think my mind has been skewed by the prices we are now paying for players :)

Well then, based on what he has achieved thus far, where does that achievement rank him amongst City's past coaches.

But Joycee, Sven got most of those players very cheap.

Well your argument was that Hughes couldn't be judged on his first season because they were not his players. I then pointed out that Sven was faced with juyst about the same situation of not "his" players as well. Its not a good argument to say one needs more time when the other wasn't given any...

I think Sven got £20m to work with if I remember correctly.

Any new coach has that not MY team argument but they don't make a fuss about it. Sven had 1 year at the helm which gave him just as much time to get players in addition to what was there, yet he improved the team which was fighting relegation in the year before he came into a top 10 place and...

well its almost 1.5 seasons already, isn't that enough time to make an analysis?
