Looking back, how do you feel about Hughes now?

[JuniorBlue]

Still have the same view. Wasn't the man for the job, tbh never really was.
Glad we got Mancini. Hughes outers look like they had a point.

 

[werenotreallyhere]

Actually I feel it's time for us to return to thinking of Hughes as the fat arsed curly haired whining cheating **** who played for the rags as opposed to the silver haired mumbling long ball merchant who once tried to manage City with a few of his inept mates.

Fuck him, he's history now, fuck him to fucking fuck he means nothing anymore.

Condense all his interviews into one and you're left with little more than - 'Well, City have always been shit, even with unlimited funds it's stupid to think they can ever be anything other than a mediocre English side, it'll take 5 transfer windows for me to transfer them from being bottom (in fact 8th under Sven) to the top 6, I mean they have no history and have always been shit, 3-3 draws with Burnley are great, we're on track, remember City have always been shit'.

End

Point well made, but I think if Hughes had really said that then there would be a few more 'obviously' and 'in fairness' quotes in there

Hughes can take a lot of credit for where we are, he just wasnt good enough to take us the extra mile.

Its Hughes's team thats in fourth place right now, just playing better under better management.

^ This. Great assessment. Though it is early days. I was a Mark Hughes supporter when he was a Man City Manager. Now I'm a Roberto Mancini supporter because he is the Manager. Whoever is in charge will get my support when I think they're trying to do the best for (my)/our club.

The way I see it this season has been a koint effort, between Hughes and Manchini, Huges bought some great players, Tevez, Bellamy, Given and Rocky, ad it now looks like Manchini isable to take those players and form them into a trophy winning side, so well done to Hughes for getting us in the top half of the tabl and well done to Manchini adding the finnishing touches to it by getting us into the top 4 which is where I belive we will finish under Manchini.

He gave us fantastic players ,that could beat Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea,he could
win any battle but not the War.
No it is like listen to music when Mancini wins the War !

so if we hire Hitler he would get your support because he's the manager?

We had a great start under Hughes too, winning 5 on the trot (1 being Barca). Mancini looks like he is the superior manager but after three weeks what conclusions can ewe actually draw?

I wish these type threads would die, whats the motive/point being them?

Gloating?

Some of us thought Hughes was a tosser and now it's clear he was.

I'll stick with my opinion.

I confidently believe the chances of City employing a dead facist dictator as manager are pretty small. In fact, the chances of employing any facist world dictator or homicidal maniac as manager is small, given that most haven't played professional football at any level. Although, we did have Stuart Pearce, does that count?

 

[ayia napa blues]

what this lst few weeks ha shsown is hes a poor manager but can build a decent squad , bit deal so could I with unlimited funds ,

 

[wayne71]

Never wanted him, not because he was en ex rag but simply because once we became rich I couldn't see the point in taking a chance when we could go and get a proven winner to manage us.

That said he does seem like a decent chap and I hope he gets a decent club soon.
