Bluemooners. Would U let Hughes go or give him 1 more year?

[liamctid]

Another season for sure. If we were not to finish in the top 6 next year then get rid. In my opinion there isn't a manager who I really think would be good for us.

 

[pissedagain]

the season is almost over and we are still divided over this...this will roll on and on and zzzzzz

 

[Shooter 83]

Another season for sure. The squad he has put into place will have a good pre season together along with some top class signings.

No more Benjani,Vassel,Ball,TBH and Fernandes next season and it will show!

 

[Lord Blue]

Granted the squad is not strong enough for jose, thats why he needs to come now to get his own players in. This guy will never win any major honours he is not tactically aware. He is not a proven manager and thats what we need if we we want to become a force. Dont let Hughes spend another penny. Well the 2 year rule clearly does not apply in Citys case just look at sven. Fuck Hughes of now before we end up with more injury prone players that he only signs because he cant control egos.

Sven doesn't disprove the "2 year" rule. Just look at his second half of the season. And the first half had quite a few lucky 1-0 wins too.

Are you also saying that Hughes hasn't made any good signings? Surely his good versus bad ratio is at least comparable to Rafas or of Fergies early years. Or of Joses time at chelsea for that matter.

You don't win fuck all by changing manager all the time, as we have all experienced. Let's gace it, if one of the shots against the woodwork had gone in against SV Hamburg, we might have qualified for the semis. Under different circumstaces Bellamy and SWP would have been fit, and Hughes would have been the man to take us to our first major final since 1981. He has strengthened the squad piece by piece, and he is carrying out a long-term improvement of the team. If he doesn't get the chance to finish his job, then sack him now. Assuming that he isn't getting sacked because the owner has faith in him long-term, I would suggest we support him fully whilst he is in the job. OK, he is ex-utd,\ but then so was Law (he was city first though), Schmikes, Kidd, several others. Let it not go unnoticed, there is no love lost between Hughes and ferguson. Hughes always supports Chelsea over utd, and I think he would relish the opportunity to score a victory over ferguson, whether it is in nicking a potential transfer target (Ribery for example), or swiping Tevez from under his red nose, or becoming the City manager who actually competes with ferguson at the highest level.

bellamy is always injured. that's one of the reasons hughes should be sacked. he paid a lot of money for a thirty year old strker that scores one goal every three games and also misses a third of the season through injury. and he also wanted to waste million on another crock, roque santa cruz. give him another summer and he'll buy michael owen to complete the set.

he also clearly has no plan b when it comes to tactics. two points from nineteen games when we go a goal down proves that.

Thats the key for me, we are a pretty good team as long as plan A works, if it doesn't then we are fucked and that simply seems to be Hughes style from his coaching staff, through players and tactics.

The scary thing is he still hasnt ruled out going back in for RSC in the summer!

I'm sick of how "crap" people claim we played 2nd half of the season last year, the facts, we will end up with more points last year than this, so what does that say about this season with a stronger squad? Last year the reasons the 2nd have sucked was we lost Ned and Richards almost back to back and ended up having to play Sun at LB, Elano at RB and Ball at CB, along with the fixture list being unkind to us in the 2md half(a little like this season in reverse).

Are you saying we have hd no 'lucky' wins this season?


Its not been about Hughes' signings, its been very much about his inability to manage them on all fronts!

 

[Benjani's Shoulder]

Down to the fact that we have so much shit in our squad, Hughes has come in and added some good players (and a couple of duds, much like any manager in the world) in there and needs time to be allowed to bring more.

Plan B involves having people on the bench being able to change a game

Gelson, Ched and Etuhu are not those players.

Once again: Where has chopping and changing managers got us to today? Nowhere. Having a look at him next season can't hurt.

Get some perspective people

sven was brought in about with only about two or three weeks to buy players so he unquestionably had a better season that hughes. sven also had a track record of success. i repeat, mark hughes once took blackburn to sixth. why are people SO convinced he's the man for the job?
