If we never sacked Hughes

[TFC]

We'd be dynamic.

I don't shink so. He has done a good job at Stoke these last few years though.

I think Hughes gets a hard time on here, and yes, Jo and Cruz etc were unmitigated disasters, but at the same time, we were literally just starting out on this journey, had money but not so much pulling power for the very big stars, and we were in a hurry too. We made mistakes (but we're still doing that now - Bony's been no better than Jo!)

Plus, there were some real hit signings too - Zab, Kompany, Bellamy, Given, Barry, Lescott, Toure and Tevez, and even Adebayour had his moments.

We'll never know what would have transpired had Hughes stayed, but we have moved onwards and upwards regardless. I like the guy, and have no grudges with him.

I would have sacked him after the FA Cup debacle against Forrest; he gets an easy time as far as I'm far as I'm concerned

Mark Hughes is like Martinez, Bruce et al. Fakes, media darlings despite the fact they continually are crap.

He has a lot of friends in the media, that was one of the reasons why we got such a hard time when he was sacked..

He was totally useless tactically..

When Bobby arrived the first thing he did was put Vinny at centre half and the rest is history..

Hughes bought Vinny and played him in centre midfield OMG

I think he's of a similar level to Pellers.

I'm not Pellegrini's biggest fan but he is out of Hughes's league.

To be fair to Clueless, Vinny was bought in 2008 and around that time for Hamburg he had flittered to and fro between CB and CDM. He had some okay games in midfield.

Nothing more than a Welsh Allardyce, for me.
I was disappointed with the way he was removed but then again he knew it's all part and parcel and goes with the territory.

I'll never feel sorry for someone who gets sacked, collects a couple of million and then walks into another job on similar money

And he wasn't nicknamed "Clueless" by us for nothing

Roberto only had to tinker with the defence and the defensive midfielders as his purchases in that department were good.

And sign 2 left backs, Nasri, Silva, Milner, Aguero, Džeko, Balotelli, AJ Yaya and Pizarro to turn us into a title winning side. Oh and pull Vinny out of the reserves, get rid of all those waste of space strikers, get Hart back, toss Ireland, Tal Ben Haim, Bridge etc.

That was Sven against forest tbf.

I think if we had worked harder to give him a platform to succeed, who knows what would have happened in the second half of the season

What else could we have done, he was backed in every regard from getting to clear out all the staff and bring in his own to getting a £300m budget over 3 transfer windows when £20m still bought you a top player. He wasn't good enough and we brought in somebody that was.
