hughes had no chance

[Bill]

He was given every opportunity, just didn't do enough in terms of performances and results in the long run.

no he was'nt, he was given a limited opportunity, do you think he was blind to the fact they did'nt really want him? hughes as a player was a guy i respcted, as a manager i admired him and his work ethic, its the man himself though that i have the most respect.

a class act from start to finish.

They've made you ashamed to be a blue because they've made a decision which they think is correct and will take us forward?

At the end of the day they'll have done this because thats what they believe to be the right decision and i'm fully behind it

They didn't want him because he wasn't getting the results they believed their investment deserved.

But our owners were the ones promoting themselves as patient loyal men. They said at the beginning of the season that a minimum of top 6 was the aim which we are on course for so why would they change the target mid season.

Of course not everything that Hughes did was correct but he did more right things than wrong. Why does a foreign manager who has no experience of the premier league be blindly regarded as the man to lead City. Yes he won the Seria A title but at a time when other clubs were penalised.

Many wanted Hughes out as soon as he was appointed yet they now demand that we all get behind the new manager well I will wait before I am convinced

 

[Damocles]

In the statement, they alluded to the fact that we put more investment in in the summer than planned, and thusly raised the game. Hughes would have agreed to this.

Far too much wailing and gnashing of teeth on here. There is no 'nice' way to sack a manager - some of the stuff people are coming out with is pure nonsense.

Hughes got sacked because our results have been dreadful for nearly three months. In fact, we only really had one good month in the whole time he was here.

they have always wanted mancini, he very nearly came in at the start, they have'nt sacked hughes because of bad results, they have sacked incase he wins all the games over the xmas period or worse won the carling cup. they would have been a laughing stock had they got mancini in after we finish 4th and win a cup.
yes even more than they are now.

If we were in the top four he wouldn't have been sacked. Fact. Therefore in trms of the above, they may well have wanted mancini from the start but hughes was given his chance and fucked it up himself.

In the statement from the club they said they had 'agreed targets which were set' Now for them to say this means that Hughes was party to these targets. I don't know what they are and most probably nobody else does on here but if they've been agreed and set and he has failed then he knew the score when he said YES to them.

The thing is the season hasnt yet finished and we have 8 winnable games coming up. Why upset the applecart now

If that was the case then hughes has had a fair crack of the whip to make sure he couldn't be replaced, he simply failed and was replaced. Get over it, he wasn't good enough and now we move on.

You can't say that because he is was still on course to achieve top four and you can't say we wouldn't have done that or won the carling cup because he WASN'T given the chance to be a success or failure.If they were going to do it it should have been in the summer.As de niro said they sacked him now incase we won our very winable games coming up,and Hughes finally had the striker he wanted from the start playing and we looked much better for it.A league cup semi that we also have a good chance of winning and they knew well that if we beat Utd to reach the final it would be very hard to sack him.
