Mark Hughes and Manchester City F.C.

[Elanos_Right_Boot]

2006/7 = 42 points
2007/8 = 55 points
2008/9 = 50-53 points max

Not the progress I hoped for

After having spent over £100million we should be seeing and expecting a better return than this. If we are still in transition like Hughes has said then I had kind of hoped for a transition period where we were going forwards not backwards. Not much to expect really from such an expensive outlay.
If ADUG are happy with this then it's as we were for pre-season and lets hope we see the green shoots of recovery before Christmas. If there are as unhappy as a lot of blues on here then MH's days are numbered and I'd expect an announcement soon after the season ends. Personally, I hope it's the latter.

Don't think finishing 7th this year is asking too much, yes it would be our best season but how many times have we had £100m to spend and looking at the teams around us 7th should have been ours. Top 4 a long way off and will take lots of patience but we need 7th to kick on and it doesn't look to likely now. Summer should be very interesting.

As OB1 said, Jose Mourinho is arguably one of the top five managers in the world; Mark Hughes is inarguably not in the top twenty; that's it, end of discussion.

Just a quick question, at the end of last season if you'd been told that we'd spend over £100m this season and probably finish below Fulham and have an outside chance of finishing below Stoke how many of the current Hughes supporters would have been completely outraged at that scenario?

Be honest, now. ;-)

Personally, i think success will come to this club one way or another. If we stick with Hughes we will be winning trophies in 2,3,4 years, if we go for a top class boss who can attract better calibre of players we will be winning much sooner.

Like Scolari, or Ramos?

Hope your thoughts penetrate the many numb nut skulls that call themselves knowledgable city fans.We live in hope.

The throw enough money at it, and some success might come our way school of thought?
Are we not all followers now?

I want one question answered;

Is Mark Hughes worth all of this, all of the endless bickering, the destructive dividing force he creates among the fans?

If it wasn't him I suspect it would be someone else.

Unfair to show points totals League position is more relevant we finshed 15th and 14th seasons before Frank took over so progress is being made we are now in the top half instead of the bottom. as for the £100 Million a lot of that was spent In Jan and we have improved since then

I really don't think so if we had Jose Mourinho in there wouldn't be this witch hunt purely and simply its Hughes rag past but no one has the balls to admit it's the real reason

Oh for gods sake knock the "its because he`s an ex rag" on the head, its because he is a numpty who has p*ss poor judgement of players, tactics, motavation, the use of subs, and even training.

Never mind the points total, the quality of football is gash for the most part, with the odd result like Villa and Arsenal proving its not the quality of player thats the problem, but how they are played.
