It's all Mike Summerbee's fault!!

I was prepared to stick with Hughes and agreed with the club notion that stability and success will blossom from allowing the manager to work through and solve our problems rather than resort to knee jerk "replace the manager" reactions.

That's before I started reading Buzzers autobiography. It brought back all my memories of those heady days in the 60's and 70's when City were a club to be reckoned with. Hughes and his coaching team can't hold a candle to Joe and Big Mal. They kick started a rapid turn around in the clubs fortunes and melded the team into a footballing "family". Footballing tactics and training methods were turned upside once Big Mal got his teeth into the squad and Joe calmly and quietly managed the club in his own inimitable style. Hughes doesn't have and never will have that talent.

"What a load of nostalgic rubbish" I hear some of you scream. Nostalgic, yes. Rubbish, no. Change the manager.

Yeh, the two situations are oh so identical.

How do you know if he has the talent or well ever have it?

He had his opportunity at Blackburn to prove himself capable of bringing home the silverware. Came nowhere near it.

Fuck me, you want a lot. He did more at Blackburn than our last three managers put together.

Did he not reach the FA Cup semi final twice?

In modern times where the 'big four' have dominated English football that is about as close as he could have hoped to get with Blackburn.

3 Semi-finals is a lot closer than we ever went.

And he had a lot less money to spend than the teams he got knocked out by.

Yes I do want a lot. I've waited long enough now and I want a manager who is capable of putting something shiny and new into our dismal trophy cabinet and I don't think Hughes has that capability.

Blackburn were favourites to go down when he took over. 3 years later, they were a top 10 team.

I know what is coming now, he is good at the relegation scraps, not the next level. I only hope we give him some more time to see if he is made of stronger stuff.

Hate to say this but I think we are in for a bit wait yet. Chucking the manager now will only lead to a new manager every 6 months.
