no manager in the premier has a worse to choose from.
benjani and vassell are completely nullyfying any forward movements.
the rot set in in january, not august
benjani and vassell are the first two names on the team sheet AND, every manager inherits so called 'dross'!

at least give the bloke a chance to mould a team.
the 8-1 loss at boro was the culmination of a side in total decline for 4 months.
benjani was a horrible panic signing, and vassell is just horrible.
we have lost petrov, the source of most of our chances, and the midfeld is woefully short of tenacity and leaders.
hughes has made mistakes, but there are mitigating cicumstances, and he deserves a chance to mould a team.

Seriously he's not! Jo is a good player and given a chance he'll show that however it seems his heart isn't in it if you believe the press and Hughes isn't really willing to give him a run of games despite him doing pretty well in the games he's started in albeit only a handful
I know Jo is a good player - he hasnt got the strength or desire to succeed in England.
Was dreadful against Everton and was bullied for the whole half - this from a forward who is what 6ft 3.
Good skills but not good enough for this league.
I honestly think we need to sign premiership players - at least we know they will perform.

And where did that decline start? Well, maybe when Thaksin refused to support Sven? Maybe when Sven didn't get the promised january transfer window funds? Maybe when Thaksin started backstabbing Sven and going behind his back? There isn't a manager who wouldn't have struggled under those conditions.fathellensbellend said:the 8-1 loss at boro was the culmination of a side in total decline for 4 months.
Mark Hughes has bought seven new players and the club is no longer as turbulent as it was this spring. What are his excuses for managing like crap?
Err, well, maybe that was due to lack of funding, remember? Sven and Tord had a list ready in the beginning of december, but the funding was never there. Frozen funds in Thailand ring any bell?fathellensbellend said:benjani was a horrible panic signing, and vassell is just horrible.
Oh, wasn't he Svens signing? Must be dross and can't be missed.fathellensbellend said:we have lost petrov, the source of most of our chances, and the midfeld is woefully short of tenacity and leaders.
What are these "mitigating circumstances"? Please tell me...fathellensbellend said:hughes has made mistakes, but there are mitigating cicumstances, and he deserves a chance to mould a team.
9 out of 10 managers inherit 'dross' as you put it, thats how they get the jiob in the 1st place because the other manager bought poorly however what they dont do is put their head in the sand and hope that the transfer window solves all the problems nor do they have blind faith in players that arent performing(Dunne, Richards, vassell etc) they just get on with it. That is why they are called 'Managers' and not 'Player Buyers'
