No odds. Usually means the bet has changed.

Interesting, certainly different from before because when you went on oddschecker it came up with all the bookies on there although the only one offering odds were betfair

You can't even find this page anymore. It used to be under 'football specials'

Now under man city specials there's only the option to see 'next permanent manager' odds.

du du duuuh!

Not before time. The deafening sound of silence is too much for me to take anyway so hopefully this going to come to a resolution very soon. I have had enough of his rubbish comments after the match and definately sick of him blaming the players. The criminal bit for me is bailing out the FA Cup even more tamely than at Brighton which was already inexcusable. Playing one up front against a woeful Forest team , short on confidence and expecting a hammering, deserves the boot. When will all City fans realise that he is actually; clueless, 'blameless', inept, divisive and a poor judge of backroom support. He had the chance to start from scratch but brings his failed cronies from Blackburn with him. Stop me if i'm wrong but they've won precisely....nothing as a management team.

Is it really as bad as you make out, yes we're out of both cups but is that anything new ? We went out against Sheff Utd last season and Oldham the season before that. If you believe there is a core of that team who would like to see the back of Hughes for introducing 'hard training sessions and discipline' then is it any surprise we lost ?

That appears to be the biggest difference from last year. Our 'star' players have little or no confidence in either his team's coaching methods or leadership. He has nearly £200million of talent yet wants a new team? It's a bad worker who blames his tools and is exactly the way to get a very negative respponse from most of the squad.

Yeh why not blame Hughes for money spent and wasted by previous regimes as well ? Seems you want to blame him for everything else.

What happened to building and developing a team with a medium to long term plan ? Sorry Hughes you lost against Forest so forget all those medium to long term plans you had in place - you're sacked

I've no time for sentiment though and if our players are slacking then some of them can go as well. At the moment though I see the biggest problem as being the management. Hughes came into the club with a clear mandate to instill discipline and keep us in the top half of the league. So far he's failed on both counts

Where did you hear about this mandate ? Was that a half season mandate or full season ?

On top of that we are now in a different stratosphere in terms of wealth and expectation. Square peg in a round hole. Should he have more time? For me, no. Unless the Special One is already lined up and waiting till May to take over, but even then that might be contingent on being in the Premiership which is in peril right now. The real trouble though is the fallout; with the fans divided, the players underperforming or worse, future players looking only at success, confidence rapidly disappearing and the press having a field day at our expense. In short, Hughes is now our biggest liability and for that alone he should go.

Assuming we can't get Mourinho which is a reasonable assumption considering he has stated he will see out his contract until 2011, who would you see as the top quality long term replacement with the commitment to the long term (which I presume you would like to see at some point) management and development of our football club.

Wasn't it a few days ago that somebody said Toure is the 1st signing. Bookies had allegedly closed their books. Nailed on was another.

Don't know what/if any truth are in these 'rumours' but it seems the hughes out brigade getting excited again.

No signing ( everyone expected something by now) and everyone seems to think the reason is hughes is going.

Already been linked to every player, and if you are taken in by 'itk posters' we will have a squad of 70 managed by Mourinho, assisted by Rijkaard and Sven as director of football.

Until it becomes official then I think we will have many strange posts on here.

Will be interesting to see the 'list' and have a look at how many got taken in. I think we all have at some stage.

An equally good and valid retort.
