Get behind Mark Hughes

[total ringo]

It might be foolhardy but you've got to admire Hughes for facing down the player-power in the game. Players force managers out these days and for Hughes to root out the bad-eggs (millionaire little pissants) and say screewwwww you, well I like it, man. We might go down* but its a risk I'll take.

*We always nearly go down anyway, it's part of being a blue.

I think MH is the best manager ever,, Iv spent all my life dreaming about when we get a team that will lose MOST games,, I think Im really getting quite used to it.. All the money in the world and the chance of something big means nowt to me. I LOVE LOSING.

For christ sake, reading all the threads on here slating the manager...he's been in the job for 6 months (?), he's hardly even started the job yet, let alone finished it, yet everyone seems to want to see him sacked? So much for the loyal, thinking man's club. The abuse will continue from everywhere else until City stop blaming anything/everything on others and start to look at the cold, hard, facts.

well said. let him get rid of the dead wood he inherited; ie elano, jo, vassell, hamman and build his own team. then judge him.

Great idea get rid and the special one will drop everything at inter and come and rescue us...... Not.
We would probably not be able to get the man we want and be stuck with Bowen till at least the end of the transfer window.
What we can do is get rid of some of these back stabbing players who never cared about city before they came here and won`t care about them after they have gone.

See, I don't quite understand this concept and many pro- Hughes have the same view as you.

Why is it not easier for these non caring players to simply just bang in a transfer request?

So, you would have:

Elano, Jo, Hamann, Ball, Richards(according to many), Garrido, Johnson( I conceed that's probably true), TBH, Dunne, Vassell.

That's pretty much a full team that are in an anti- Hughes camp. They could really screw over the boss with a simple move, couldn't they? But, it seems to me that they're(if any of the 'meetings' rumours are true) trying to find find some manner of working that is constantly rejected, by Hughes.

That's his perogative, but believe me, the players could really make their point, if they wanted to...

Was sat behind him at the forrest game, he didnt get up much, im not against him, hes got my full support, i just hope he gets a bit more active in the techincal box, and kick the shite out of the players who are trying to keep us down, just so that they can keep their jobs, and get the man sacked. come what may, we will be a differnt team by summer, no punn intended.

I know they way he has turned around this failing club that finished 9th last year spent 60m in the summer and is 3points off the bottom 3 now and having gone out of both cup comps to teams in lower leagues to us(I wonder when the last time that happened was?). Why would anyone think he was doing a crap job?

been told tbh wasnt even a proper hughes sighning and frank wanted him earlier along with jo.

I have no doubt that Hughes had no say in Jo. Not sure about TBH as he was quiet vocal in saying he was his signing and that he had identified they needed more defenders.

However, consider this. When Jo was signed I was constantly telling people that it was a disgrace (due to the price tag, not necessarily the player himself). One of the chief defences against my argument that it was bollocks and only done because that wanker Thaksin was interferring in affairs, wanting to get what he say as a glamourous Brazilian signing, was that Hughes had categarically stated that he had a veto on Jo and if he hadn't said yes then it wouldn't had happened as he is nobodies yes man.

Now the shout in the press and all over here is 'Poor Mark, having that bastard Jo forced on him by the evil Thaksin'.

Now, that's what I said at the time but Hughes went out of his way to make sure that we believed otherwise. Now he is keen to make sure we ignore his previous statements and see Jo as just another bastard he's had forced upon him.

More buck passing of the highest order. This trait has run throughout his managerial career.

You are putting words in Hughes's mouth.

Jo was identified by Sven. And then became Thaksin's project. And Hughes said he knew about Jo, and approved the deal

Hughes has rarely criticised his players, and when he has done so, it has been as a group without reference to an individual.

When has Hughes said that the signing was forced upon him? Have I missed something?

 

[pissedagain]

i d love to get behind him, with a baseball bat....

 

[Blue Mooner]

I'm trying to work out why Vassell isn't 'behind Hughes' given that he's seen the benefit of Hughes' selection policies? Even been praised by Hughes for his 'work ethic'.

Now, according to many rumours, he's also in the 'Hughes Out' camp amongst the players! Oh and TBH, a HUGHES BUY!!

Work that one out!

...with you on this its one of the biggest mysteries of the whole affair

None of us really know who was part of this so called mutiny, maybe he was picking him not because he wanted to but because he felt he had no other better alternative.
