Hughes on Mancini

[bluefandk]

An open letter from the Chairman, in response to media reports in Saturday’s newspapers incorporating comments from former Manager Mark Hughes:

What a strange man Mark Hughes is. Sacked by Manchester City, he was becoming a forgotten man when I rescued him to become manager of Fulham Football Club.

Even when results were bad, I did not put pressure on him. I gave him every support -- financial, moral and personal.

He fully negotiated a two-year extension to his contract. On the day he was due to sign, he walked out without the courtesy of a proper explanation.

And now he insults the club, saying it lacks ambition, and the players who delivered an 8th. position finish last season and a place in the Europa League.

He is not just disrespectful but entirely wrong. Fulham has just announced plans for a splendid new riverside stand that will substantially increase the capacity of Craven Cottage.

In every aspect of its work, Fulham is a progressive club with a top manager in Martin Jol, the man we had really wanted when Hughes was appointed.

We shall endeavour to prosper without him simply because, when the challenge came, it was not the Club but Mark Hughes who lacked the courage and ambition to take on the task of leadership. If people are looking for a flop, they only have to no further than the man who has lost his spark.

Yours faithfully,


Mohamed Al Fayed,
Chairman,
FFC

I am not really a big fan of Al Fayed, but he got this one absolutely spot on.

The day Hughes was hired by us I was horrified. The day he was fired I was happy. Had no idea how some of our fans could be upset by him getting sacked. He never looked the part.

Today I can give two shits about Hughes. A mediocre man speaking big words.

I wanted to read what Leslie,s thoughts were on the game but cannot find anything, can anybody point me in the right direction lol..

Something like this I imagine.

"Must get Kia to mention Mark Bowen and his co in his next letter to Holt and Custis. After all, it's not right that I get all the credit for the 6-1 at Old Trafford, I think they were quite important too. I can only imagine how big the win would have been if that Mancini hadn't undone all our hard work in the last 18 months".

 

[yayas trusty right foot]

Al Fayad found him out for what he really is..

A very ordinary manager, full of self importance..

There are not many teams bidding for his services, are there..

Might be a bit off-topic but hilarious anyway...

Spot on.

He's a fucking imbecile, absolutely clueless.

Rag gobshite needs to keep his mouth shut and achieve something/anything before he opens it again the fucking rag goon.

Best thing we did was getting rid of this ****.

You can't put "lol" in a thread title it's against the rules. Anyways, here is the thread about this topic.

Re: Al-Fayed attack on Mark Hughes..lol

Well said that man. We all know Hughes thought he was going to be offered the Villa job whilst at Fulham, but tough titties Lesley, the move was blocked. So glad he's not our manager now, and although I thought City handled the sacking poorly it was a top decision in the end by Cook and Marwood. I wonder what all the Welsh Mafia are doing whilst there beloved manager is spouting shite on the TV?
