alera said:Nothing to indicate there is any truth in this. Still if we take any less than 8 points from the next 12 there is a chance of HUghes being replaced in January BUT ONLY IF the likes of Hindink or special one are available - this is very unlikely though IMO I am sure they would want the special one and no way he would come mid season - or would Inter would let him go with champions league and Inter being at the top of Seria A.
Hughes will almost certainly be given until next summer. If he hasnt got us in the top 4 OR won a cup and secured top 6 he will be fucked off and no one will be able to disagree that its the right thing to do.
People will always have differing views on a manager Alera no matter the circumstances.
My guess is improvement in performance and results points wise over last year is the target.
Whether that means 4th or 10th who knows.
Of course we want to be in Europe next year preferably the chumps league but if we fail to make Europe I don't necessarily think it will be the end of Hughes no matter how much he has to spend.
I am not a huge fan of Hughes but I would prefer our results mean he gets another season.
