Mark Hughes as manager

[Rascal]

Is that because you were a Chelsea fan then? ;)

I gave my season tickets up in protest against Thaksin taking over.

Thanks to my conscience I did not attend a single City game whilst the Rag **** was manager.

I am clean.

Your protest against Shinawatra was something that I've always remembered and respected immensely. You took a ton of flak on here and in other places at the time, and you were proven correct in the long run. If all football fans had the courage that you did then our sport would be significantly better.
Not many people have that type of bottle but you did and some of us were inspired by it in other areas.

Thanks Damo, means a lot that.

I did get loads of abuse for it and as it turned out because i had no SC anymore I missed out on some big games after Thaksin left, but again that was because I was and remain still unsure about the moral probity of our owners. I have though learned to accept that my conscience really plays no part in who owns us and my love for City transcends everything else.

Fucked if I ever understood this response from young Brucie .

Under what username is he posting these days?

Not a thread I'd be resurrecting if I was the OP. Imagine if Hughes had been successful. We'd probably be managed by Tony Pulis right now. Probably have beat Wigan in that cup final though

I know many Blues who hated him but this stance is utterly tragic.

Flappers had such a good long run it's no wonder they don't know what to do during the clapper ascendency.
