How does Mark Hughes keep getting work?.

[Aguero_Element]

im happy for him

 

[MCC]

He`s a good manager but just not a top, top manager. I wish him well.

 

[peoffrey]

Mark Hughes has a 41% win record.

Strachan has 44%. Grant has 46%

He is a worse manager than Gordon Strachan and Avram Grant.

For the record, Mancini's record is 56%. Ferguson's is 57%

You're normally a very reasonable poster but your use of statistics is misleading here. Avram Grant only Managed two Premiership Clubs with a spell at Chelsea with someone elses team. He won NO trophies at Chelsea either yet Mourinho, Hiddinck and Ancelotti all did. His record at Portsmouth and West Ham is a little higher than a 30% win ratio. He relegated both Pompey and The Hammers. Hughes relegated no-one.

Strachan's win record in the Premiership only is 32%! Please don't count his record at Celtic because there's no competition outside of one other Club. The Premiership is the greatest League in the world.

Hughes will do a solid job at QPR and I am willing to bet anyone £50 he doesn't relegate them which is a consensus going around right now. Who wants a bet?

What was Hughes win % at City?

 

[peoffrey]

46.75% : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hughes

Like others, I was originally disappointed with his arrival at City because we'd let Sven go despite winning titles in 3 different Leagues and replaced him with a man who was too familiar with our hated rivals. However, I was prepared to give him a chance and felt he did a good but not great job. We were in 6th when he left the Club. Not 16th.

 

[Rascal]

I quite liked QPR

I now hope they get relegated.

I was willing to give him a chance too but lets be honest, he was fucking shit. The return on what he spent was dire and I will never be convinced the RSC signing was all above board.
I was even willing to wish him well when he left but he's proved himself to be a proper snidey little ****, so I hope he crashes and burns, obviously.

Stuart Pearce churned up football 100 times more dire than anything Hughes managed and Kevin Keegan's transfer record was absolutely shocking in comparison to what money was available to spend. It's the same with Sven! None of his players remain at the Club whilst Kompany, Zabaleta, Lescott, De Jong, Kolo Toure and Barry are here and will be for the future.

There's also comments about Hughes nicking Warnock's job but the rumours about his departure only began on Sunday and Warnock wasn't forced to take charge of a Team despite his replacement already having been made. Journalists will pounce on this if it's true and they haven't. QPR have wealthy backers too.

I agree about Pearce, worst football we've ever seen. At least Keegan's team was exciting to watch.
Kompany was a great signing but a complete fluke by Hughes. He was signed as a midfielder and the fact that he's developed into one of the best centre backs in the world has nothing whatsoever to do with Hughes. We massively overpaid for Lescott and in doing so, Hughes arrogance soured relations with Everton so badly that they still haven't recovered. Kolo Toure is nothing to brag about, Arsenal had his best years and apart from the odd game here and there he's been pretty poor considering his price and reputation. Zabs was a good signing I'll give him that but he'll never be first choice. So was Barry and DeJong, but they were hardly bargains and we paid top dollar for the pair of em.
I'd prefer Mancini's signings to Leslies any day of the week and I wouldn't let him loose with a penny of my money if I owned a club.

I completely agree about the RSC signing, it just didn't seem right. We didn't need him, he cost 5 times too much, yet it just seemed inevitable that he would sign. Leslie simply got found out as being out of his depth here imo. He had his good points, he was measured and articulate and professional in press conferences and in public when most of football thought we were a bit of a circus. But equally he seemed to get found out for me.

Kompany was a great signing but a complete fluke?! You could say that about David Silva because you've got nothing to base it on apart from what you think. I thought Kompany was excellent in midfield too and vividly remember watching his debut against West Ham.

Hughes soured relations with Everton!!!!! Every Blue I know has always hated Everton so, in some ways, easing their defender out and in to a City shirt was a brilliant move to upset them even more. Scousers and Mancs have been at each others throats for years. I understand there's a little mutual dislike between U****d and Liverpool too. Call it a hunch.

Many of Hughes' signings have been excellent throughout his career and he'll do the same for QPR. I feel the man laid some good foundations at City for Mancini to take them forwards to better things. Keegan caused far more damage yet you liked his "exciting" football!

 

[ono]

He's dynamic. Obviously.

Has Hughes been reading this thread?

"Obviously, I'll be having conversations with all the players and understanding the dynamics of the team."

 

[Cityfan]

He had to make a lot of signings quickly so not all would work out. The majority of them in my view were pretty decent players, not all have fitted in with a change of manager and some were undoubtedly overpriced and on over long contracts, how much of that was Hughes' fault is anyones guess.

 

[stony]

Not quite sure how you work that out. Silva was bought to do exactly what he is doing. Kompany was bought to play in midfield. I'd pretty much say buying a midfielder and finding out that you'd actually bought arguably the best defender in the world was most definitely a fluke. How you can compare his signing to Silva, who is playing where he was bought to be played, is baffling to say the least.

I thought Kompany was excellent in midfield too and vividly remember watching his debut against West Ham.

He's a good midfielder, nothing more. However he's a world class centre back.

Most City fans had an affinity with the toffees. Both clubs in the the shadow of their red neighbours. Yes it's true Everton fans got jealous when we got lucky but it's also true that Hughes arrogance made it ten times worse. Every time we play Everton it's like playing a cup final. We have Hughes to thank for that, if he hadn't have been such a smug dismissive **** and called them a small club, they would have got over our luck far sooner.

Many of Hughes' signings have been excellent throughout his career and he'll do the same for QPR. I feel the man laid some good foundations at City for Mancini to take them forwards to better things. Keegan caused far more damage yet you liked his "exciting" football!

And many of them have been utter fucking shit. For all his good signings you still can't get away from the fact that he paid £18M for RSC and £14M for Wayne Bridge and put them on contracts so lucrative that no fucker else will buy them and we're stuck with them.
The only reason that Keegan did more damage is because we didn't have Mansour to bail us out and why you're sneering at Keegan's brand of football is baffling. Were you not entertained?
Anyone could have laid good foundations with the money Leslie spent. We were his shot at the big time and he was found wanting. Fuck him and fuck the whole team of twats who follow him from job to job.
I have nothing against QPR but I now hope they get relegated

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Here here. Hopefully he'll sign his 2 mates first. We did used to have a pretty good relationship with Everton once, when Kendall first came we signed about 8 players from them and did deals with them many times after. They throw the kitchen sink at us now. Hughes gets jobs now because he's applying for safe jobs at average clubs with cash to spend. Any improvement at QPR will make him look good. Obviously.

 

[Andouble]

best thing about this move is I don't have to listen to Mark Hughes talk about City and how Mancini isn't as good as he is.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Plenty of time for that, he will. He's just gone quiet for now after he put himself back in the toolbox after that newspaper article. Or put himself further into the toolbox more like.

 

[mancity1]

Owners think he can do a job for them.

He took QPR because they have money to spend and he sure got the taste of that at City.

QPR will be the most active in January without doubt and he will most likely keep them up this year but while his says he is an ambitious manager he will never get the opportunity to manage a side challenging for serious honours in the premier league.

If QPR ever have designs for the big league Hughes will be the first one gone.

 

[brenda]

Yesterday on Sky it was said Hughes made excellent signings. My recolection was Santa Roque who was a disaster Did he sign Bridge as well? What were his other excellent signings for us?
