ok tin hat on........mark hughes should have been given more time than 18 months. some of the posts on this forum are ridiculous, ie " hughes's style of football was shite".....ive been to all the home games this year. and most of the time we have played attacking/attractive football!, maybe some games (hull) we tried to walk the ball in the net, but haven't aresenal been "accused" of that? the problem was the defence, and yes they are hughes's signings. but 18 months is not enough time for a back 4 to form an understanding,i think given time he would have made more signings like bellamy/de jong etc.......... iam 100% behind any decision ADUG make, (city are my concern not mark hughes) but they should have given him this season at least

For what it's worth I agree, I was surprised by ADUG's decision in all honesty even more so when you consider the target they laid out of 70 points. There were so many factors that suggested this would have been achievable even with Hughes in charge - 2 more games played away than at home, Villa's next two games are Arsenal & Liverpool we have Stoke and Wolves. Drawn games that but for individual errors would have been wins in at least 4 games. Semi final achieved. I don't buy into this idea that the football we played was sh*te - the defense has been poor and costing us points but I believe we have played some good attacking fluid football

All that said, I have been impressed by Mancini and am positive it is a good appointment. I would have rather we get where we need to go with a British manager (even an ex red one) I'm not particularly keen on going down the foreign manager route but if he's a good manager then he's a good manager and I'm sick to death of the in-fighting so need to use this as an opportunity to unite behind the club.

Even if I agreed with you (which I don't), this accounts for less than 1/2 of our games this season! Try putting up with the tactically clueless shite we've had to watch away from home... being a regular at all our away games, not a single one of the regular away-day blues (or which I know many)... shares this opinion!

And before anyone starts... you really don't get a true impression of tactics, field position and workrate on the Telly!!!!

fair enough mate. good point
 
Hughes is a good manager but he wasn't good enough. In fact I think he has been very lucky this season because individual goals and performances have pulled us through in the majority of games. A managers job is to build a team, any fucking idiot can put 11 players out on a pitch especially with the quality we have available. The facts remain that Hughes has had 18 months to organise the defence and midfield and if anything it's got worse. We're too open and vulnerable to anyone that attacks us and it's been so obvious all season and Hughes has done absolutely nothing about it. You can't knock the players for effort this season, so it's down to one man HUGHES!

If people could see an improvement they would be willing to give him time.

actually I disagree I think his team of coaches let him down, ultimately its him though

Hughes is an OK manager but as soon as ADUG bought us he wasnt good enough

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Can I ask, did you attend most of the home games last season? The reason I ask is that looking back over 18months(admittedly I go to the away games too so that might colour my view)it seems to me that we have become less and less attractive to watch, I would be interested in your view on that.
