I wrote to Chris Bird once complaining about the price of a pint and a programme at Maine Road. Sadly he left for pastures new before he could post a reply.

I'm confused he posted it twice, yet after the first one his posts were on '36' and now after the second it's still '36'! Mystery!
And yer rather pointless, whodyu wanna replace him, Mr Cook will use that as arse-wipe. And what a hypocrite you are, a frsh start, after ONE game. Your back to being a bastard!

An entertaining post.
Thanks for the laughs, a lot of talent and wit on display, some of it unintentional, but anyway...
Consider:
- Maybe ADUG are not fools;
- They can make comparisons and draw their own conclusions about our management's performance this season, they hardly need any help;
- I'm not sure how much Cook really knows about football, after all, he is a former marketing executive who has been living in the USA, especially judging from some of his comments on marketing in the game (which have been commented on by specialists in football commerce/marketing and found naive). He just might be the football management equivalent of Al Fahim, and put in by Toxin, who I need not comment on. Maybe his appointment was purely to help him dig out of a financial and personal jam - remember he was going places and involved in the club's resale talks? As for Cook's real power within the club, who knows? He may not last long either if Hughes goes.
- Finally, ADUG as serious, thoughtful, and experienced businessmen, with more resources and highly skilled analysts and consultants than you can imagine, when you have been working on identifying new players for as long as we have, and have a system which you have already invested highly in as we get to the beginning of the transfer window when it's execution time, do you really toss it all out at the 11th hour? Are you seriously going to dump out the architect of your designs?
If we were going to remove Hughes then it probably would have had to been done months ago, but such a move would likely have been judged a knee-jerk reaction.
My best guess is that we're stuck with Hughes, unless he resigns (which isn't at all likely) until nearer the end of the season when ADUG might act. I believe ADUG are probably not going to throw in the towel with him so soon at this particular juncture in time. That's not to say they are sitting on their hands without making contingency plans, but I would be very surprised if they actually implement anything immediately.
Writing letters isn't likely to have any effect on any of the above, unless you're perhaps an internationally experienced manager who would like the job and be ready for interview in another few months, but you probably wouldn't write an email/letter, you would simply have your agent float a balloon for you...

I agree wholeheartedly with our cousin in blue from across t'Pond. Wonder how long it would take for a balloon travelling from Mexico to reach CoMs?
just to clarify, in reality i know that it probably wont do any good writing a letter - i imagine he may look at the title and delete it - it may get blocked by his spam control.
However - i wont chant Hughes out during a game or wave banners. From whistle to whistle ill do nothing but support my team. So if things go badly, which i think they will, i can sit hear concious clear knowing i did something other than sit on my hands.

Fair enough. I don't agree with your idea of getting Hughes out now (I can't see him lasting past the summer due to his tactical ineptness) but that is the right attitude and I wish more people had it instead of coming and sitting silently for 90 mins or worse having a go before things have even gone badly.
