Mancini or Hughes - you decide ?

And not to forget that Mancini is currently permorming with Hughes choosen stuff.

hughes signed well, maybe santa cruz was a mistake, but players like kompany, given, de jong, bellamy have been excellent.

not overwhelmed with vieira to be honest, an holding mid with no legs isnt very exciting.

RSC was an £18m disaster and a 'buddy' signing. Hughes didn't know how to change things during the game, ruined the youth set up, surrounded himself on the gravy train with Welsh hangers on and is a longstanting rag cnut - good riddance.

Hughes was and still is a Useless Red Scum Cnut !!

The one area where Hughes has the upper hand on Mancini is the strenght of his backroom team. I remain to be convinced that Kidd offers the same level of support that Team Sparky provided.

Really ? I thought it was by far his biggest weakness, 'Team Sparky' as you call them added nothing because they were all yes men, nothing else, that was why he brought them all with him. Mancini is using people he had never worked with, and its working just fine by the looks of it.

Yes, Hughes's refusal to widen his backroom team beyond the "Taffia" is one reason he ended up being sacked IMO. His coaches didn't seem able to get the best out of the players defensively.

leaving aside clean sheets, team performances, tactics, improved morale, the resurgence of several players, and playing the youth, macini has won 7 out of 9, and garnered 12 points from 5 league games.

what more could you really ask for?

big signings? how very depressing and shallow.

To be fair we didn't lose to a lower table side until Mancini came in.

One defeat and no draws is better than no defeats and two draws in terms of points dropped.

Everton last season away we won 2-1, this season not shots on target.

Last year Pompey 6-0, this year 2-0.

Stoke 3-0 under hughes, Mancini 2-0.

Blackburn 3-1 Hughes, 4-1 Mancini.

However Hughes wouldn't have won the matches Mancini did?

I' not saying he is better, it is just stupid to slagging him off when we were in 6th with him and he wasn't the worst ever as is being made out.

This

Under hughes we would have drawn another 10 games and finished midtable

i couldn't see why he was being slagged off either
6th and cc semi, not good enough for some
now we have the really exciting fare to look forward too
