Hughes sacked

[Rocket-footed kolarov]

I remember Hughes as a player at ManU and Chelsea, and he was a rather pedestrian plodder. No surprise then that he has turned into a mediocre manager who can't work with strangers so he takes his taffia with him everywhere he goes.

Think for a minute (maybe a little longer) and take a calculator and accumulate all the money he spent on signing fees at Blackburn & City & Fulham & QPR. Most of those players were over-valued and over-paid and clubs have taken or will take a loss when they are cleared out. So the answer on the calculator is a really big number (more than the GDP of most African countries).

Think for a minute about all those TV interviews and press conferences where he started every answer with "well obviously......" Signs of such an arrogant person, its no wonder he will get little sympathy from anyone in Blackburn or Manchester or West London. I don't think anyone will be calling him Sparky for long now. Also I have little sympathy for Tony Fernandes at QPR who treated Neil Warnock very shabbyly to make way for Sparky.

You obviously dont remember Hughes as a player at all. Ridiculous statement.

He was an excellent player.

Before my time Hughes as a player, but I get the feeling he was a very good player but never really a great in ability or goals, he almost always played between 30-40 games in his prime but not once did he scored 20 league goals in a season.
When he went to Barca he was a disaster and when loaned out to Bayern he flopped there two.He came back and won titles with Baconface but you kind of get the feeling Hughes did n't quite achieve what he expected of himself on a personal level anyway.
That is what I put his impatience as manager and walking out on fulham down to the belief he needs to prove himself as the best and belief that he is at that level in the first place.

Hughes is a much better Manager than Redknapp.

Can't believe the statement above!

Love him or hate him happy Arry will have QPR playing decent football and climing up the table rapidly in no time at all!

Hughes has finally been found out for what he is: A shocking manager who can't set up a team at all, is completely clueless defensively, and has an ego the size of an elephant. Simply put he is a truly crap manager! I couldn't stand him when he was in charge of us and and I haven't seen anything since to help me change my mind. Good riddance to him and his Welsh Tafia!

Absolute rubbish.
Look at what Redknapp done with spurs, they would have got relegated now they're a top 6 team.

0 wins in 12 games says it all.

Hahahahahahaha wtf? Friday night to much beer?

 

[mat]

Bentwatt gets to run another club into the ground whilst his journo loving mates rub his shaft and suck his saggy plumbs. So the next premier league fairytale begins....

 

[ManCitizens.]

Redknapp isn't a good manager either.

Bournemouth - Relegation and money problems.
West Ham - Relegation.
Southampton - Relegation and money problems.
Pompey - Relegation and money problems.
Spurs - Levy was in control.

Good man manager but would send a club into administration to sign a triffic player.

Hughes as a player was great
Hughes as a manager was a disaster for us and QPR
Hughes as a bloke strikes me as a ****

I dislike Redknapp as much as anybody but this is a bit of silly argument that keeps cropping up, Bournemouth are a small club so relegation and money problems is something they were always likely to have, he kept them up for two years after winning the third division. Whilst all the other clubs have had history of at various times over-extending themselves and having money problems. I was n't aware that he was ever employed as Chairman or CEO so ultimately it is bit harsh to blame him for clubs' financial problems.

Aye, I would rather we had Hughes at City as player than we ever did as a manager.
Scored some cracking volleys and wasn't too shabby with his head either.

 

[halfcenturyup]

For what it's worth I remember him as a great finisher, always in the right position, a bit like Hernandez, but not a patch on Aguero for example in terms of overall talent. Even then he was a twat, though, one of those guys you love to hate unless he is in your team, a bit like Bellamy and many others.

Anyway, now I can hope QPR stay up, always liked them. Tough job though, around 38 points from 26 matches. Almost a win every other game.

If I could predict football results accurately then I'd be sending you a postcard from Barbados. He signed some good players in the summer and, for whatever reason, they haven't gelled in time.

You serious Peoffrey??? He signed 14 players (I think) and some/many of those are toward the end of their playing days. He signed Green and then fucked him off, the man is clusless. If you buy enough players one or two are going to look half decent (though at QPR I don't think any have)... Johnson, Zamora, Park... Rodney Marsh on talksport yesterday summed it up perfectly. "If you look at his signings... they're crap".

It is a pretty basic assumption in Footballing terms that you cannot take a team and change it on such a massive level and expect success precisely what he did. He is one of the most egotistical managers I think I have ever seen. He goes around in a bubble, protected by his Taffia really is shite and the Premiership will be a much better place without him.

Also was the question about haow many of the players he signed have Kia J.... as their agent (as does he)?

 

[bluelol]

I wonder if QPR will get slated in the media as much as we did when we got rid of him, doubt it now that our ARRY is in charge.

4 points out of 36 says it was justified.

This is just a blatant lie.

Bournemouth - got them promoted, stayed up for two years, then relegated. So back where he started - like Joe Royle, who most City fans think did a good job.
West Ham - UEFA Cup qualification, NOT relegated under Redknapp.
Southampton - perpetual relegation candidates, couldn't save them.
Pompey - FA Cup win, NOT relegated under Redknapp.
Spurs - if Levy was in control, why were they in the relegation places before Redknapp? Yes, Redknapp gets too much credit for the turnaround considering they finished 5th the season before, but you can't attribute it to Levy or it would never have dived so low in the first place. Champions League qualification (x1); 4th place finish (usually good enough for Champions League qualification).

You can't criticise Harry for the money troubles these clubs have experienced. He asked for the money, it's the board or chairman's job to say no. Would he have achieved as much without the money? No, but that's his job as manager, spend the money to buy players who'll do well and he has for the most part.

Better manager than Hughes by far.

Re: Am I an old cynic

or does it seem as though Twitcher has been up to his old tricks again. Leak a story about Paul Stretford being in advanced talks with Ukraine about the Tax Dodger taking over, when we all know he wont move away from Sandbanks. All the while knowing that Tony Fernandes will pull the plug on Hughes in case he loses the said Twitcher. Disgraceful way to get yourself a job. All the morals of a Rat. Or maybe it's just me jumping to conclusions

Reckon that's exactly what happened.

Talk about the frying pan and the fire: Hughes/Joorbachian made Fernandes sign players he didn't need on massive contracts (e.g Cesar). Now he's been sucked in by Redknapp & Stretford instead.

The funniest thing about this was how Vinny half scuppered the plan on MOTD. They show QPR losing, the 'We Want Harry' banner, and Harry's all: "No, no Mark's still in a job, I can't talk about that, wouldn't be fair." So far, all going to Harry's script.

Then Vinny says: "Not to do Harry out of a job, but Mark's a great manager." So Redknapp has to agree with him. V. funny.

Problem for us is now Joorbachian, with a lot more time on his hands. Never a good thing for Tevez/us.

I'd be delighted to know how you can recall (possibly) how many players he signed in the summer. It's like you spend more time watching who he is bringing in over City and I genuinely don't understand what your agenda is.

Hes live on BBC now
Hes just claimed he was ready to accept the Ukraine yesterday but got the call from QPR at the same time!!
Anyone smell bullshit?

I bet he played it like a banjo and got a great deal out of Fernandez

Look at what Redknapp done with spurs, they would have got relegated now they're a top 6 team.

0 wins in 12 games says it all.

Not entirely true though is it? Yes, they were in a very poor run of form at the beginning of that season when Redknapp took over but Spurs were already a very good team that had finished 5th twice in the three previous seasons. They weren't relegation material like you're suggesting.

However, I agree that Redknapp will more likely do a better job at QPR than Hughes managed. 0 wins in 12 games is truly abysmal considering some of the players they've got.
