I'm a fence-sitter at the moment with regards to the Hughes In / Hughes Out debate but what I will say is that I really don't think one season is enough to judge a manager. If Mourhino comes in and things don't go our way and we finish 8th next season, will people be calling for his head? I don't see how starting every premier league campaign with a new manager will do us any good. That said, Hughes' tactical naivety has astounded me at times this season and, with the way football clubs are run at the moment, I wouldn't be at all surprised (or particularly upset) to see him shown the door before the start of next season. My worry is that we will end up in an endless cycle of 'new dawns' with new managers who fail to live up to our astronomical expectancies and are subsequently sacked at the end of each season because they fail to win silverware.
