Plea to all city fans!

[Irlamblue]

agree totally.

cant beleive people are moaning.

As a fully paid member of the 'Hughes in' club i'm glad a lot of the negativity seems to have been lifted.
We have seen some amazing football at home and with some real quality signings we can look forward to a better season.
Top 4 though? no chance. 5th or 6th do-able.

Had to start my own thread after reading all this negativity and try to make some doom merchants take note of where we are.

*First and foremost whether you like it or not HUGHES will be here next season LETS ALL UNITE and get behind him.

*Premier League is the world's toughest league. Finishing 10th whilst in transition is not a bad thing

*Any boss in the world would have found in hard this season with City's new found wealth and expectation with the current crop of players. Whilst in transition you have to be patient. Look at Ferguson, Moyes and O'neill as good examples. All 3 managers struggled early days but by giving them time they have come good.

*Certainly for me it has been the best Football i have seen at home since supporting city and our record proves that.

*Getting to the quarters of the UEFA was one hell of an adventure, i have waited years to go on a proper european adventure and im so glad to have had a taste of it.

*Richest club in the world SAY NO MORE.

*Season ticket sales on the increase.

*Hughes signings have been very good up to date. With a full summer of looking in the transfer market we could find ourselves with at least 4 or 5 quality signings to bolster already a half decent squad.

*Next year Hughes work will come to fruition, im so confident of that. If we can continue our home record, im sure our away form will improve dramatically. A top 6 place is a very realistic target along with a decent cup run.

*Look at Leeds, Newcastle etc.... We have been there and we was in better spirits then THAN we are now. Some of us fans need to take a good look at where we are compared to our dark days. We have everything in place, it just needs a little patience.

WE HAVE LOST OUR CREDIBILITY OVER THE LAST FEW SEASONS. LETS BRING BACK THE HUMOUR AND ENJOY EVERY GAME WIN, LOSE OR DRAW AND GET OFF SPARKIES BACK AND GIVE HIM A CLEAN SLATE

I for one cant wait for next season, i genuinly think we will have a season to remember next year. Lets get behind the team and manager and remember where we were only 10 years back. CTID

Kompany - best signing of the lot in terms of value.
Robinho (whoever signed him) - best player ive seen at city
SWP - Honestly, been disappointed in him.
Given - Very good signing

Bellamy - well known crock - 13mill - rip off
Bridge - 10-12mill - we were fuckin robbed
De Jong - 14m-18mill - complete panic buy . Not bought with the best intentions of the club. Hughes paid way over the oddsto try and save his job . Same can be said for the previous 2.

Wasted half of January trying to sign another crock, in RSC.



I always get behind the team and manager at games. When I am here tho I will say what I think about them. It's why I signed on here (and used to post upstairs before it got way too, shall we say..... pubescent up here)

I suspect top 4 IS the target next year. Why else would Cook be relieved we haven't qualified for Europe this year. Just so we can come 5th or 6th next year and qualify for same competition. Don't think so.

Whether we will be good enough remains to be seen. However with a top class manager and a world class striker and centre half I believe it would have been possible. With Hughes well that's a different story.

i agree, be patient. Hughes is a winner, he has much more winning mentality than pussy wenger and benitez who don't put the shitters up their players like fergurscum does-and that's why they haven't taken the league off them again this season. Hughes is in the same mould as slur alex, he's the man. look at all his signings compared to 'couldn't careless Sven' Fact-all hughes' signings have been our best players.
I don't want to start all over again with some foreign coach who is inexperienced in the premier league.
Oh, and the reason we didn't finish 6th or 7th this season isn't coz of hughes, it's because of 2 men- Dunne & Richards, mainly Dunne. He needs to go, great servant, but he no longer matches the ambitions of our club. He made far too many crucial mistakes this season

In which sense is Hughes a winner, he is a mediocre manager!

This^MVF..Where the fuck they get "Highes is a winner" from i dont know!

He has a overall win percentage of just over 40%!!! Wow fucking wee, a real big winner!

But hey lets not let the facts get in the way shall we boys!

I got this far before deciding

*you have only ever been to about 2 city games if that

*you saw none of the first half of last season

That's not very nice mammutly. I go to all homes and many aways and I saw the first half of last season. And I agree with the OP that this season was better. Newcastle and Bolton at home were about the best games we played at home last season and we only won that first away game at West Ham. Plus we got thumped at Chelsea. The one thing we did better last season was to scrape wins when we didn't play so well but, at home at least, the quality has been far higher overall this season.

I disagree. The football under Sven in the first half of last season was better. We have been average to woeful at home this season with perhaps 3 exceptions. We have too often been left clinging on to results through a mixture of luck and desperation in games that we should have wrapped up.

I do agree that I was not very nice to the OP, but stand by what I said. It particularly irritates me that the post contained not one iota of a novel thought, yet for some reason he considered a new thread was necessary to say it.

I agree that the football in the first half of last season under sven was better, however the second half was a backs against the wall bite your finger nails back to the dark days city performances.

It is a breath of fresh air that our owners have finally seen sense to come out and finally given Hughesy the time to get the team playing the way he wants them to play.

Its time we all pulled together and moved on and fingers crossed Hughes gets it right and we can finally enjoy the walk to city because we are watching our stas lift trophies, it isnt going to happen overnight but I for one are 40 years a city supporter and have seen absolutey nothing of real importace to shout about since 76 and i was only 7, so a bit of stability, a but of luck and supporters that all pull in the same direction and a team to be proud of would be a godsend.

What i dont want to see is the hangers on and the glory hunters that think success is a god given right, like the rags, they are going to be so disppointed over the years to come and lets just enjoy it, their faces would be worth them 40 years of near nothing.

We were a national joke for sacking managers. Don't want to go back there ta.

and the worlds richest club making do with a mediocre nobody is not the source for other fans humour is it ?

If in another full season Hughesy has given no improvement,then questions have to be asked, however dont think we have a divine right, remember we are city and i love it that way.
