great post on men site

As football goes through an era dominated by players wages and greed, this is part of an article taken from todays Daily Telegraph and I think it deserves a wider audience, (after all who buys the Telegraph !!! I was shown it by someone honest !!)

"Yet a sign of Hughes’s compassion emerged during last week’s Uefa Cup trip to Copenhagen. Ian and Lisa Nolan, season-ticket-holders from Middleton, took Jack, their City-daft seven-year-old, to the Parken Stadium on the off chance of seeing the players heading in to training. Hughes wandered past, got chatting, and invited the Nolans in. After introducing them to Robinho and the rest, Hughes commandeered a Uefa car to drive the Nolans back into town. Even better, he arranged for Jack to be mascot the following night. As Lisa cried her eyes out, Jack led the team out, departing home with Robinho’s jacket, Pablo Zabaleta’s shirt and unforgettable fairy-tale memories from Copenhagen. “You’ve made our life,’’ Lisa wrote in a message of thanks to Hughes. "

So to those that refuse to forgive his Rag past I say just stop and think. He didn't have to do that, I am sure he had plenty of other things to think about during that trip.


All is not lost.

I like Hughes and I'm convinced we'll get be a great team next season if he stays, the Martin O'Neill effect if you like.

Is this the same family who shouted at Hughes that he'd let the fans down while standing outside the team hotel? I think there was a thread about it last week.

Heard about this when I was there, thought it was quality,

I saw that yesterday and was telling one of my rag work collegues. To my utter astoundment he said 'thats one thing I do envy about City they alway look after the fans'.
Which is true IMO its like a family!

We need to decide, are we going to give this guy a chance, and if yes, then lets get chanting his name. I don't care that he was a Red any more than the rags don't care Sir Matt was a blue. I have been anti Hughes due his tactics, team selection and like of visible passion. But he does seem to be turning a corner. I would much prefer to start next season with a settled team and manager, so lets make him respond to us, lets not stop chanting his name until he shows the passion we want from him. Lets aplaud his pre match interview when it on the big screens, lets ring the radio stations and be positive and lets see if we can build his confidence as on too many occasions he has looked nothing short of a dead man walking

No the two are completely unrelated.

Yep Hughes is a top bloke, and i reckon he'll be here for a few seasons yet.
