Mark Bowen recalls the Hughes sacking

[Bunk]

Hughes was very firable. I’m fortunate (unfortunate?) enough to preside over the hiring and firing of people every day in a corporate setting and I can tell you from experience that it is far easier to fire someone who you had no part in the hiring of. You can pass the responsibility of that bad hire off on someone else.

Hughes was never our owners’ man, he was Frank’s man, his fate was sealed the second ADUG moved in.

How?? Numbers, stats, facts please!!
I am giving you the chance to convince me.......

numbers , stats facts?

try this,
we are shit under mancini, we dont play football, we are stoke with money, we will never win a fucking thing kicking towards our own goal, the best players will leave out of sheer boredom, the even better players wont come if those players leave........etc etc fucking etc.

now hughes,

brilliant manager, made some fantastic signings, went for goal every match, only trained once a day.

you need counselling (imho) mate<br /><br />-- Wed Apr 28, 2010 9:23 pm --<br /><br />

I'd have taken 5th with 2 points behind at the start of the season, our aim was 4th and now it's in our own hands.

Fantastic signings? Yes but fucking hell were they overpriced with the fee and the wages e.g. Toure on £120k a week.

£16m for Toure, £24m for Lescott?

Hughes didn't have a clue.

wait till he takes the west ham job,european place for them.

ho de fucking ho dude. You are indeed the meister. Respect.....

Spot on mate imo.

Regardless of your personal position on Hughes and i was a definate outer btw, he was always a goner and the only mistake made was they didnt do what they wanted to do earlier imo. I have some sympathy with De niro when he says it was a mistake to get rid mid-season, we are seeing the results of uncertainty now re Mancini and his future given the "6" month clause and the owners have to take responsibilty for that. If they had bitten the bullet and got rid when they came in i have no doubt we would be cemented in the top 4 now not worrying about the next three games.

Lets all hope that we get 4th and it doesnt all come back to bite us in the arse.

Firing managers is very rarely a good idea, Hughes wasn't really given a chance, the first transfer window Robinho was thrust upon him, in the next transfer window he was never allowed to see if his decisions in the transfer market would cut the mustard, because he was fired bizarrely mid project. Mancini is a clown, lets face it, he wont get 4th and will be sacked in the summer. I beleive Mancini was down the Shieks ear telling him how much better than Hughes he was and how he will get 4th place. Mancini was the reason Huges got sacked. We are now reaping the rewards of that decision negative shite football. Look at the 2 Everton games, Moyes had Mancini in his pocket, Hughes would of set up a team to beat Everton at COMS. The whole premiership had a good old snigger when we sacked Hughes because they could see it was a stupid decision.

What a lot of drivel. Wasn't given a chance? PMSL!

Hughes and his cronies' mediocrity is what got them the sack, my guess with the timing of it is that he'd submitted his transfer list and ADUG decided they didn't fancy spunking more millions on the likes of Scott Parker and David Bentley.
