Mark Hughes' exit from Manchester City
- Thread starter vans0531
- Start date
He has only moved us forward if you compare him with himself and his results last season. If you compare him with his predecessor, we are six points worse off at this date (december 15) than we were two seasons ago.smiler1234uk said:Now we do seem hard to beat and he has moved us forward.
Yes, I know we didn't finish that season in great style, but IMO that was beacause the squad was paper thin (it cost £250 million less than the current one).

2 seasons is more than enough to judge any manager.
Unless we go into freefall, I don't think he should be sacked yet. But if we're not top 4 come May he has to go. Maybe, just maybe if we just miss out by a point or two and win a trophy he might save his skin.
But even then I doubt it.
To summarise, I don't want him out now. But I certainly don't think that those who do are evidence of "care in the community". That's a ridiculous statement to make, PB, to be honest. I thought you had more sense.
Why????
Top 6 was the stated target
the ones that want out now are the the fans that are holding this club back in my opinion!
How are we holding the club back???

Those that think 6th is acceptable and the owners will settle for that after what has been spent need their heads examining!
And whats this... crap? ffs finish your sentences you immature twats!

Jesus Simon, We're going round in bloody circles.
the "Top Six is the target" line was totally disproved about 5 pages ago.
And you said two posts ago he should be given three seasons. What, even if we finish below 6th?

...are one of the one's that takes his time to give his opinion and reasons why he holds that opinion, in a thoughtful manner.
Just thought id finish it for you, you seem to be struggling at the moment?
As for tonight, 3-1 City!
I hope you aren't sniping again.
I have given my reasons previously so I don't want to keep going over old ground.
I am just trying to give a perspective on why you and the other people that have come out should have their opinion.

That was at the same time as they said they weren't going to spend a lot if I remember correctly. As they did then actually spend quite a bit, expectations may well have changed accordingly.
that was said after all the spending had happeded i think....i think we had played a few games when that was acutally said....
it is idiots like sky pundits who keep saying top 4 should be the target......khaldoon and garry cooke said after the season had started that the target was top 6.....which is a realistic one whereas top 4 isnt really (even with the money we have spent....)

Dead right. I thought the squad hughes inherited was already goo denough for top six, or was a couple of players away at any rate.
Some people are starting to believe this myth that we were a relegation team when Hughes took us over.
We weren't. We had a decent squad.

Does anyone have a link to the article where top 6 was stated as our aim?
