Hughes at Stoke

[blue62]

The problem with Leslie really is very simple:
He doesn't coach defending. At all. He's hopeless.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Has he ever done us a favour since leaving? Whenever he plays our rivals, he seemingly orders his team to bend over and take it.

Hughes has always been defensively naive. An average manager at best. Can't see anyone taking him on again in the Pl once stoke sack him in 12mths or so.

To be fair, Stoke have held the rags to two draws this season, but as I said earlier, he's a very average manager....... obviously

Hughes is an average manager but he does sign very good players wherever he goes (also does waste money) , the only trouble is he cannot get them performing consistently (although he does occasionally get a few results against Arsenal, Chelsea, rags, and us)

 

[ChicagoBlue]

He is another Brit manager who signs players who have BEEN something and then tries to squeeze another few years out of them. Has he EVER developed a player?

not saying he developed him, but moving Begovic on and promoting Butland worked well in timing.

 

[RayCTID]

Hughes has a mixed record with youth (scratch that he has a poor record), especially during his time at City. He gave Weiss a go in his last season at City, he preferred Ched Evans over Daniel Sturridge but moved Evans in the end (signed Roque Santa Cruz and Adebayor ) , loaned Hart (initially he was first choice during his first season in charge) and opted for Given. Richards and Onuhoa stuck around despite the Toure, Lescott signings.

You might say he developed Kompany into a centre half, having bought him as a midfielder. It might have been clever or it might have been lucky, but he has been instrumental in our recent successes.
