Just my response to thread, just my opinion. However the quicker we get set up with players and a managment team that has the potential to break into the top 4 the better.
It could possibly be Mh & co but that is a gamble and its not my gamble to take.
If MH is still here next season I will have to be patient as I have for the last 30 years, however we do have this amazing opportunity.
We only have his amazing opportunity if Jose or any other big name manager say yes
If none of the big boys say yes we'll continue with Hughes
Why is this our only chance? We are going to be a terrific prospect but at the moment we need to build before we're going to be genuine title / champions league contenders.
What I really really worry about is say Mourinho comes next season and one or two big names follow and we fail to break the top 5 because we've not got the squad depth - then the recriminations start flying and the superstars want out and suddenly we're a laughing stock and take years to get our credibility back.

Thats really a management and investment problem to solve. I dont think anyone will be hired without a long term vision.
Whatever happens we are no longer a joke.

Says everything you need to know about Hughes then doesn't it. There's obviously a hell of a lot of supporters either unhappy with him or concerned that something just isn't right with him or the situation at the club.

I know... how many Hughes outers do you think would change their tune if we managed to thump the scum by 3 goals at the swamp next weekend? Or do you think they'll still be calling for his head?

Then we'll be able to attract those players.OB1 said:Prestwich_Blue said:Again, talk to people in the game (and I did recently) and they will tell you that the top players, the ones that will win us the league and European trophies, will not come for money alone. What motivates them is winning things. No matter who the manager is, unless we can prove we can win the big trophies they will not come. This is why we have to do the 2 stage process whether we like it or not.
I don't disagree with you that it might be better at the stage when we can think about attracting the top players to have a more charismatic manager however.
But surely a proven manager and a bag full of cash might convince some that we have the resource to win things and persuade them to come on board. We don't need huge numbers to be of that mind but we might have to play a numbers game finding them and accept that we will get plenty of rejections along the way.
Surely finishing 7th this season (or not) colours how players see City as managed by Hughes; one of the points of changing the manager would surely be to change perceptions about our immediate potential to become a serious force.

Why did this thread take off like this, did I miss anything?
Anyway I firmly believe MH will be given another season, and that might be for the best anyway at this point, but I don't know what the players think...so much crap is written the truth sort of disappears.
Anyway, I guess Mourinho's record speak for itself but I'm just not too sure...Inter are not any better than last season, and they're also a bit less fun to watch. About 4 games left I think but it looks likely they'll end up scoring less goals and conceding more than last season. Mourinho's signings of Quaresma and Mancini have also been complete flops.
Just like last season Ibrahimovic has been responsible for most stuff going forward, both their top scorer (tied 1st in Serie A) and also has the most assists for them, and it looks like he'll be on their way and Inter need an absolute first class replacement if he goes or I don't think they'll win the league.
Still I think Mourinho is great, but Inter were already the best team in Italy and at least in this one season he hasn't been able to improve them.

I'm thinking give hughes another season now, but if jose becomes available you have to take him as you won't have another chance.
