GET RID NOW AND WE CAN GET SOMEBODY WHO HAS GOT AN IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING
I think you need to leave the spirit's alone, calm down & read the fucking thread.....it is asking why we should keep this clown...what does he bring to the table..what are his strengths.
LOL, spot on. Some people on here aren't too good at reading :)
Thaksins Love Child said:Things aren't going our way right now, and he needs to sort the defence out but he has inherited a team from Sven on the decline. He will sort this in Jan. This defence got us to 9th last season and looked OK IMO
He has signed Zab, Sweep, Kompany and Robinho. Each of these are class signings. He also stopped the sale of Ireland...enough said. He didn't sign Rob by all accounts, SWP would have come back if I would have asked him too, Kompany is decent but Zab, well, let's see, still not convinced TBH
Give him time, he will get there. How much time?
TudorRose said:Hughes should continue because:
He needs time to build his own team and to be given that chance in an age where football is crazy. What does that mean? He has had 12 games and lost 10 of them
However, for the one's who don't support Hughes, and there are many of us, why shouldn't Hughes continue? because we a 3 points from the bottom and finished 9th last year with an extra 70million spent on players
If my manager at work failed to get results and lost the support of half of the office, and his teams opinions could not be heard, would we expect our manager to feel the pressure and maybe be relieved of his duties? Yes

hahaha i knew he'd talk about BEING POSITIVE and the injuries bollocks
"Until we get a stronger squad it's going to be difficult in the short term"
I'm afraid you just can't polish a turd.
Because of the players Hughes has brought in so far, I'm backing him. It does not make me feel any better, it would be easier to take it out on the manager. But I look at the players on the pitch, and other than mostly Hughes signings they are a) not good enough, or b) got the wrong attitude, and often both.
It is obvious to everyone what we lack in quality and attitude and until Hughes has had the chance to address it, he will stay in charge. I am personally glad our owners are not as trigger happy as some would like. I think that would REALLY make us a laughing stock.
glyncity said:1) mark hughes has bought zab,robhino,swp and kompany, thats 4 out of our best 5 players. Robinho was the Arabs and SWP would have come home no matter who was managing. Kompany is handy and the jury is still out on Zab for me
2) the other is steven ireland,who was shyte last season . Yes, he has been great this season, progressing very well and great product of our academy
3)mark hughes cant be blamed for poor refereeing Also, our league position can't be blamed on poor refereeing either. It's the same for everybody
4)also you cant blame him for own goals and suicidal defending As he is the fucking coach, then yes, you can blame him for that.
5)you cant blame him for injuries to key players (petrov,bojinov ) No and nobody is
mark hughes should be judged at the end of the season when hes had time to bring in his own players. And if the result is relegation, do we all just shrug our shoulders and say, oh well?
Doctor Congo said:I've said on here hughes should be given time but some bizzare recent tactical decisions make it hard to believe hes a top manager.markbmcfc said:I think all the Hughes out threads are pathetic, since they happen when we lose and not a word is mentioned regarding Hughes when we win. However...today - im worried, for the following reasons.
1) Why drop Elano at home.
2) Why play SWP (superb right winger) in the middle.
3) Why play Vass, only just back from injury, on the right.
4) Why play Benj for 90 mins.
5) Why not put Jo on to at least give their defence something different to think about.
6) Why play Benj left wing for so long.
I cant explain the above, and im a little worried now.
And why did young Philipe not start after the last game?

Hmmm! Quite a lot of use of the word 'positive' there!! Seven was there? Much pressure is told from his constant shifting balance , from leg to leg. And I'm rather intrigued by his pointer to the "home markets", which is an indication he wants
a) British players
b) Prem proven players
c) to get rid of much the foreign 'contingent' in the team.
At last, rumours are solidifying, from that rather candid interview.
I reckon Hughes is a gonner, but, has he not been slightly unlucky?
I mean, he was appointed by Thaksin, expectations when he arrived, top 10. Then he was given a 'present', called Jo, for £19M, who, he felt pressured into playing. Then, he signs 3-4 players. Kompany - Good Signing. SWP - Good Signing. Zabaleta - Best Signing. Once all these players came in (bar Zab), against Sunderland, we saw what we were expected to see all season. Elano playing well, SWP back to his best, Kompany the midfielder we've needed, forever. But then, he gets a new boss, who happens to be one of the richest people in the world, and our expectations change dramatically. Hughes is then given another 'gift', this time, it's £32M worth of Robinho. So, now, Hughes has to adapt his team to accompany, Jo and Robinho, something which is bound to upset other players, and one of them happens to be a Brazilian, Elano, who seems to be leading an anti-Hughes group. Also, we now here stories of players being slightly pissed off how Hughes adapts his policy to accompany Robinho.
Now, it seems to me that Jo and Robinho are what's causing this rift between Hughes and the squad, as he has been forced to change his whole personality as a manager to make sure he doesn't piss the two owner signed players, and ensure he keeps them happy and doesn't lose his job. Ironically, by doing this, he's ended up pissing off the rest of the squad, as well as the two owner signed players and the pressure he tried to reduce has been increased. Ideally for Hughes, (allbeit slightly unbelievable) the signings of Jo and Robinho are two that Hughes could have done without. Only on 3 occassians has Hughes got the tactics right really, Pompey, Stoke, Arsenal (I may be wrong) and in these 3 games, we've been up against teams who have played crap.
I don't support Hughes enough that I want him to stay, but, I think that when you actually look into the problem that's been created, Hughes has been desperately unlucky and now the fans seemed to have turned against him, something has to change. Unfortunately for Hughes, there are too many players to ship out that aren't committed enough to the cause, which means the only other alternative, is for him to go.

brooklandsblue said:He is our manager and deserves our support. What if all these sky watching kiddies The lads at the match today were singing you'll be sacked by tomorrow. I am pretty sure that was our lads too, not the home fans. Are they Sky watching kiddies?get their wish and we get 'the special one' or some other manager who is 'great on Fifa' and they lose 3 games on the bounce? They'd be calling for their heads too, It's 1 win in 10 mate? Not just three games in a row 1 IN 10!!!they do not have a clue what being a 'supporter' of a football club is. Those that have come on here and made posts calling dunne and hughes on a personal level are idiots and should be treated as such. I agree with that point mind you.
He deserves a full season and a full transfer window with the £££ before we judge him......at least! No mate, he deserved another 3 games, 3 games ago.

This is by far and away a post of quality.

Interesting post.
Well, it would've been had you not forgotten that Hughes played NO Brasilians today. None. Nada. Zip. And look at the result.
When did we look like we were trying to build towards goal beside putting in some crosses?? No midfield play, just straight to the wings, basically. Straight out of the "Blackburn '101' play book"...
This is a turd that finished 9th last season wile cantering at the end of the season....it had significant investment to reshape it for Hughes' system. A number of the players in last season's squad (Elano for one) aren't suited to a kick & rush game & should have been sold but weren't....why?- Joe said:vbr said:http://www.skysports.com/video/clips/0,23791,12606_4677302,00.html

Did Hughes only join City on August 31st? He had a full summer to address it....he took them away on boot camp to assess them...pre season friendlies, Uefa cup games + early season Premiership games.It is obvious to everyone what we lack in quality and attitude and until Hughes has had the chance to address it, he will stay in charge. I am personally glad our owners are not as trigger happy as some would like. I think that would REALLY make us a laughing stock.
I'm glad we currently aren't a laughing stock...I was getting a little worried there for the last 2 months.

a few more performances like that and the next manager may get the opportunity to manage in the championship.
Revolver said:Yes I think there may be a lot of truth in what Mackenzie has written.
Wasn't me Rev...was n mcfc.
They are the same players as last season and we have spent another 70 million too. So why are the players to blame? Be more specific. Are they selecting the team? Are they playing themselves out of position? Are they the ones making the decisions to keep playing the long ball? Is one in ten good enough for you?blue 1992 said:i'm all in support of hughes, but for our current run of form, the players are to blame imo.

How could he play those that were ill/injured?
