There's a lot of situations going on at the moment, we'll have to evaluate these situations as and when they arrive.

CITY chief Mark Hughes has brushed off rumours of unrest in his kitchen and whispers that he will swoop for an expensive Thai bride with a Jamie Oliver cook book now he is flush with money.
Hughes has watched critics scurry to jump on the `Crisis' bandwagon following a disapointing Sunday dinner at the weekend but is determined to ride out the storm and stick firmly to his guns.
And that means doing things his way, including an open-door policy for his wife to air grievances she might have.
Hughes, like Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelsea who has this week lambasted his wife for attempting to grow a bigger tache than him, knows that walls have ears at football manager's homes.
Even so, he was genuinely surprised by supposed tales of unrest
"I have no idea about my wife complaining to the executive chairman Garry Cook about anything but you are going to get these kind of stories when things are not going as well as we would like," he said.
"At the end of the day, she knows that if she has any complaints she can knock on my door. When she does she can discuss any issues that she has and they are resolved very, very quickly. That is how it has always been."
The manager wouldn't, however, be drawn on the Thai bride situation.
"I have been linked with nearly everybody, I think, and the Thai Bride hasn't been done so now that she has we will have the full set," he smiled.
Hughes, although he refrained from naming individuals, revealed that the Gary Cook had made enquiries for several dinner ladies already in the transfer window.
"They don't serve any of this foriegn shit, dinner ladies, do they? They've got British character and desire and that's what I want in my kitchen. People who will stnd up and by counted and want success. Cloggers, if you like. None of your foriegn shite"
"We have put bids on the table and some have been rejected at the level we have pitched them," he admitted.
"I have highlighted people that I think will help and then that is taken over by Garry Cook and Paul Aldridge and they conclude the deals.
What he hopes has been achieved immediately is getting the burnt roast dinner out of the system of his wife who was clearly crestfallen when she reported back to his 'food factory' at 0530 sharp on Monday.
"I would have been disappointed if she had not been down when she came in but you cannot dwell on what has gone she just has to make sure that it doesn't happen again and that preparation is right for the next meal," stressed Hughes. "You cannot allow the shit she served up to have a negative impact; she just has to be better next time out and that is what we Mark Bowen told her to do. Obviously I rarely speak to her, unless it is an emergency. Mark handles any day to day conversations with my wife.
"What I have to do is take a detached view, review things professionally, make sure I understand what went on and then when everyone comes back address the issues.
"I've told the kids to take down their Teletubbies posters too and banned their friends from coming round. We want an atmosphere condusive to getting the wife to churn out decent food. Gordon Ramsey doesn't have his mates popping in when he is making another of his shit TV shows.
Garry Cook commented: "I know what fluffy mashed potato looks like. The manager and I talk about fluffy mashed potato all the time and how to prepare for when fluffy mashed potto eventually arrives in his kitchen.
"Make no mistake, I am in the business of bringing fluffy mashed potato to Mark Hughes' kitchen and we will bring fluffy mashed potato.

Hughes gets on my man boobs when he says "Consequence or Subsequently" He cant stop using these phrases, im sure players have a bet with him to see how many times he can say those words in an interview

Gelson your starting today, Vassell you are up front, Bally keep it tight at the back, Didi you take the throw ins, Dunny Micah make sure you go up for the corners and pose a threat. Keep playing the long ball high up to Shaun, Jo put yourself about amd hold the ball up for the team. Today boys were going with one up front at home against Championship relegation fodder, don't worry, if we go two goals down I won't change anything till its too late, then I will take a striker off.
