Come on and own up

[Revolver]

Sorry, it should have read of course we've had this type of performance in 2008!

 

[Dubai Blue]

The buck ultimately does rest with the manager but this type of performance has been going on for the whole of the calender year of 2009.

Fucking hell, we've got to put up with this shit for ANOTHER year?

 

[Big G]

Is it Hughes or is it the players?
Apart from 3 today the rest have played under the previous regime, and we were not in this predicament then,
So are the players not playing for Hughes, which in effect they aint playing for us, THE FUCKING FANS!!!

 

[GStar]

Its time all the tools who said give him time came on here and apologised that was a fucking disgrace. Anyone can see there isnt a player in that squad that wants to play for Hughes. Have the balls to come on here all you lot who slated any one who said he wasnt good enough and apologise, as Hughes should. He should show some dignity and resign.

You think Ireland/Kompany and SWP didnt give thier all... what more did you want from the manager today? Jump off the bandwagon and take a look at the players we had available today.

 

[BlueMooney]

Chance after chance fired at Scott Carson. We created enough to win that game twice over and yet we hit every decent chance over the bar or at Carson.

And this constant "Hughes out", "groan, it's Vassell", "get Benajni off" mentality is doing us no good.

I don't care if you think Hughes should or shouldn't be the manager. While he is, support the club. While Benjani's playing, support him. While Vassell's on the pitch, support him.

If you've nothing encouraging or constructive to say, keep schtum. You're not exactly helping the matter.

 

[Ducado]

So yo9u want me to say sorry for backing our manager and thinking he could turn it around?

Fuck off you childish ****.

This, there really are some tools on this forum, most sane City fans wanted to give him a chance, then the there were the minority who could not accept him because he once played for the Rags

 

[badge]

talk about blind faith! how many games have we got to lose? and we've still got the top four to play away yet!
this job is too big for hughes. he's no better a manager than mike walker was. sure he'll do well at your bolton's, stokes, fulham's etc., where you can get workhorses to play above themselves but, he can't get the proper footballers to play for him. i want a manager who picks players based on ability, rather than how much effort they put into training!

sacking a proven managerial winner, like sven, for this guy is the most ridiculous decision this club has ever made.

Pearce got 19 points in his last 18 games. (1.05 points per game)

Sven got 19 points in his last 18 games. (1.05ppg)

Hughes has got 18 points in 18 games. (1ppg)



The points-games ratio isn't looking good for any of them in their last 18 league games.

This is nonsense. Yes there are some people who think that but there was a fair few who did not want him in charge on the grounds he was not the man for the job. There is a broad spectrum of opinion on Hughes but to keep lumping those of us who judged him on his abilities in with the 'hes a rag' crowd is getting tireseome

 

[the god Gerry Gow]

Didn't want him, don't rate him and don't think he has an ice cube in hells chance of being manager on 1st Jan 2009 but and its a big BUT the blame for our current plight lies firmly and squarely on the biggest bunch of overpaid underperforming no marks ever to pull on City shirts.

Yeh, how dare anyone have an opinion that doesnt fit with the fast decreasing numbers of the 'Hughes In' crew.

Most people gave every player a chance from the beginning of this season, it was another season we we built up masses of hope as we do every season. But facts are facts, Bejani has been innefective, Vass has been crap, and Hughes has shown absolutely nothing to show us that he is the man for the job.

You can run with blind faith as long as you want, but results are reality, as is our position in the premiership.

Some git's on here are actually enjoying it. It's the players that are a fucking disgrace.

Agreed.

I didn't say you shouldn't have differing opinions. In fact, it would be weird if you didn't.

But, all the back biting and constant chipping away at the players and the manager isn't going to help the situation.

Support whichever XI he puts out, support him for 90 minutes, criticise later, constructively. That will help move us forward.

But while they're on the pitch, we have to support them, otherwise we needn't bother doing anything.

Finally: aside from the blip from August to late November last season (when nobody knew how to play us, and oh, how we all thought that was amusing...hang on, didn't we get a couple of jammy wins, e.g. Reading and Man Urinal), what do we have? It isn't Hughes' signings that are the problem. It isn't Ireland who has found himself and who Hughes kicked up a fucking stink about keeping (have you all forgotten that?). The Konstant almongst all the variables here is...what? Well?

Is simply not the issue. Ireland along with Corluka was earmarked for sale. Hughes kicked up a stink over both players because adequate replacements had not arrived/been identified etc. Once the ADUG thing was on and they started underwriting purchases (SWP etc) the Corluka sale was allowed to proceed. The Ireland sale went nowhere because there was no firm interest at this stage so he stayed and the rest is history. Hughes however had identified Ireland as one of those players who could be sold off if necessary. Luckily it did not happen. I say luckily because no one on here or anyone else including Hughes for that matter could have foreseen Irelands dramatic improvement in serious competative matches. Hindsight and all that. This is not a dig at Hughes because I think most managers would have come to the same conclusion.

So no we have not forgotton. Just not sure what relevance it has to the current situation.

Il think you will find that that is exactly what 95% of us on here do.

I wanted City to win as badly as ever right up to that final whistle. But when we find ourselves considerably deeper in the shite than we were 2 hours before, we use this forum to air our views, and in this case, yes it is critisism, and bucket loads of it............... and rightly so!

I have some sympathy with the sentiments of this post but any system, successful or not, has to accommodate criticism, whether justified or not. If it's not justified then the best way to deal with it, is to give the strikerless EFC and the mundane altitudinous WBA a good stuffing and it will silence the critics. Failing that, what about an allround team performance against some more johnny-come-latelies in HFC on Boxing Day. But if the performances warrant it, the fans have a right to voice their criticism, whilst still showing their support via tickets, merchandise etc. It would be criminal for fans to remain silent while the ship hits the iceberg and takes on water with some at the club, player or manager, apparently, not giving a shit.
