Beats me that with all the weekend news, rumours, home win, Hughes sacking, new manager, and 'live' Sky press conference - that we haven't topped the highest number of users !!! Mmmmm, everyone must be out Christmas shopping.

Best post-match interview I've seen for ages. Well said Mick !

If Hughesy didn't know anything about his sacking beforehand, then his televised wave around the ground to all the fans could not have been a 'goodbye' wave but a very generous Christmas wave instead, acknowledging the fans support. That's how I'd like to remember it at least. If on the other...

Are there too many layers at the club ? Owner...Board...Chairman...Chief Exec...Football Administrator...General Secretary...Manager... And what the f*** is an Executive Leadership Team ? <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcfc.co.uk/The-Club/Corporate-Info"...

Missed this thread amongst all the other 'Hughes/Mancini' ones yesterday, just caught up. Any bit of good news will cheer me up right now ! I do think we need cast-iron defenders to help us move forward. The defence has been letting the attack down - no point scoring 3 goals if you let 3 in...

Yep, agree entirely. At least there was none of this "caretaker manger' shite until we find the right man. Short, swift, bloodless. How it should be.

Glad you enjoyed that mate. Was in there myself a few years ago when my grandson was mascot - pretty cool experience. Feel sorry for all the players who came to City because of Hughes - now they'll have to take Italian lessons or start having a translator on hand.

No, Sven's project at Notts County is far too important !

Quite clearly, the Carling Cup was not going to save Hughes job. The prestige of Champions League is where's it at for the owner. I've seen the light. I think we all know now. Forget top 6, Carling Cup or FA Cup, its CL qualification, nothing less.

Wish I knew mate. Too much co-incidence, but gotta be someone high up.

I'm with you on that good buddy.

Thoughtful analysis JMA - did it really only take 10 minutes ? (;wink)

I think we all realised John Terry was the No 1 defensive target, and we ended up with alternate players as well as letting Dunnie go. Still, the new players were swayed by the money, which hardly any other club will match in salary in they move on.

de niro, almost agree with you good buddy. I think they wanted their own man in from outset but had to wait a while. On reflection, the gifting of Robinho and Hughes handling of him probably irked the owner - he wants stellar success, not mediocre results.

...seasonal sympathy ???

I think he's a smiling assassin...can't see what good he's done this season...still Thaksin's appointment, he'll be next to go IMO

I rate Brian Kidd very highly. A shrewd move IMO

Can't help thinking that Chief Exec Garry Cook has been involved again...wouldn't trust him with a bargepole. However, Hughes wasn't the owners appointment and I always thought they'd make a change. Just wanna see Cook follow him now...he's too shady for me.

After having the whopping transfer kitties at City, will he go to a club with no money to spend ? Hope he does well regardless...
