Questions have to be asked?

[SalfordCityBlue]

So, pray tell, who are these managers who could have brought in better players than Hughes and who do you think these players would have been? Ribery, Messi, Benzema, Kaka, Aguero, Terry, Puyol, Yaya Toure, etc etc? Dream on! I bet you can't name one player who would have definately come here under another manager to a club with money, yes, but one without recent European pedigree and even recent domestic league sucess (i.e. even a top 6 finish).

I understand you are entitled to your opinion and you must have your reasons for it, but I'm damned if I can see what they are. Please enlighten me.

No point naming managers as there are many, but as unfathomable as you find my opinion, I find yours equally so that you don't think Mark Hughes would be a drag on selling the aspirations of the club as a world force.

If we had a manager of world reknown (as would befit our status as the world's richest club TM) then players would expect us to be in the CL sooner rather than later, thus easing their worried little minds that they would be making a move into the wilderness by taking a chance on City - a move that they would regret and have to rectify by moving again if we cock it up.

With Hughes, rightly or wrongly, the debate rages on about whether he will succeed, or whether he will be sacked (he is, after all, favourite for the boot), and a player could move, the manager be replaced and then be out of favour with the new boss.

If I was a player umming and ahhing over taking a punt on Man City at this point I would be far less likely to jump in our direction if there was so much doubt about the ability of the manager and insecurity surrounding his job ON TOP of the worry that it will be years before we make the CL.

We are already asking players to trust us and put a lot of faith in 'the project' - we would look a lot more serious about it if we had a proper manager with a winning track record. In my opinion of course ;-)

I`m not Hughes biggest fan, but we need at a bit of stability, after all the years of changing managers.
Didn`t Gareth Barry (quality player) only agree to join City after he heard Hughes was here to stay.

Why the richest club in the world with less than a week to go before the start of the season have ;
a. Only bought one defender
We'll great another one before the window shuts.
b. Have no idea bar the left back, who will play defence on saturday
Depends on the knocks and injuries that we have suffered, because of international games.
c. They won`t have played together
Possibly
d. Ben-haim is still at city
Fuck off TBH. When are you planning to leave.
e. Dunne looks like missing out, but he`s still captain?
Well he will start and will be the captain for tomorrow's game.
Any answers anybody?

Ok we'll have to beg to differ then. Just remember that Sven was a big name manager with a proven track record and he was shite with a capital S!! Surely you wouldn't prefer that clown to be still in charge?

Dare I say if the special one had been our manager , MR TERRY most certainly would have come !

And maybe one or two others !

Terry wanted to come. He was told in no uncertain terms that he would not be allowed to.

A bit like Lescott then, at least Lescott put a transfer request in !

If a player really want to go somewhere he goes ! Like Ronaldo with Real it was his dream !

Sven did a great job for us, and he represented the club with dignity and class. Wasn't a fan before he came to the club, but have a lot of respect for the job he did for us.

Quite right sack the manager, sack the board, sack everyone. This club's a fooking disgrace!! ;-)

Why is it even at the time of the greatest excitement in years, when we have some genuine world class players at City and when we are about to embark on the first season in years when we could genuinely beat anyone on our day (and theirs) that some people still need to find something to whine and whinge and moan about?

I can imagine if you were lying in bed with two miss worlds, drinking Dom Perignon 71, watching City being 4-0 against United with your 100m winning lottery ticket in your hand that you would be moaning to the two miss worlds about how the pillow was a bit firm for your liking, the Dom Perignon was not your prefered 72 and the curtains didn't match the bed spread!

Hughes knows exactly who he will play on the back on Saturday, Hughes knows whether Lescott is coming or not etc etc etc

But have the two Miss Worlds played together before?

turns off computer, forgets about football and disappears off to the bathroom!!!!!
