as i can remember the exact seat in the exact cafe and the exact time of day when i first read one of these articles, and how far my jaw dropped, i have to feel that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, I am not making it up. I cant vouch for anyone else however.
Your jaw dropped because a manager said a player was underperforming?
Really?
Was this the great criticism you were all on about?
Because if so, your in for a fucking shock if Mourinho comes in. Or any other manager who has ever won anything.

What if the owners have Neil Warnock lined up as a replacement?
;-P
Once Hughes is sacked I'll start really hoping that Warnock isn't the replacement.
Again, for the good of the club. ;)

nah, the article went into specifics about the coaching staffs reservations over the attitude charector and behaviour of dunne, richards, hamman, elano, benjani, michael ball, Jo, and others. I've certainly never read anything like it in about any other club. It was stuff that was repeated in every single quality newspaper between october and december.... whilst we were really struggling in the league.
bizzbo said:yes, it was all unattributed. but it came from somewhere, and if Hughes didnt want it printed, there where many things he could have done about it. like phoning the sport editors. or saying something specific in public. but versions of it were printed many times over in the broadsheets, and much of it is still referred to today. this week, the times once again printed that Elano had been identified by Hughes as a troublemaker.

Cheers, I will keep hoping Hughes is sacked.
For the good of the club.

Had a look over threads started that have Hughes and Elano in the title over the period you stated, and not one has anything close to what you said. Now, do you really think any of your lot would have let him get away with that?
And yeh, nothing wrong ever gets printed by the newspapers without them letting you know beforehand does it? THey always make sure people are perfectly fine with whats being said?
FFS, do you live in the real world?

Fucking hell you're struggling for credibility after that pile of shite.repeated in every single quality newspaper
Hughes is known to be
nursing a severe sense of
frustration about some of the
players he inherited, some of
whom he feels have got “too
comfortable†at the club and
are failing to set the
right example.
The Brazilian
midfielder Elano is, in
particular, considered
lazy and a negative
influence
bizzbo said:the bellamy story was also retracted by every single newspaper. this one has been about for months and has been repeated in several this very week.
I know the difference between a small off hand transfer rumour in the sun/mirror/express and numerous full page articles repeating the same information in all the broadsheets.
(excuse me if I use the term 'quality' press, i believe it's de rigeur now that only the Telegraph is printed in a true broadsheet format)
You have got to be a WUM,you REALLY believe you know which of the unsubstantiated rumours in the football pages are true in a newspaper.I know the difference between a small off hand transfer rumour in the sun/mirror/express and numerous full page articles repeating the same information in all the broadsheets.
