The Club have done nothing wrong
Anyone on here who thinks they did is in error IMO
The Reason Hughes Had To Go:
Performances, not just results were poor.
There were real question marks over the injury record and motivation level of key signings
The trip to Abu Dhabi in November was also for a major management review following six draws .
The request for further funds for January signings was not well received in light of the above
After defeat in AD there followed further draws from winning positions at a weakened Liverpool & Burnley
Hughes demonstrably failed to get the best from his players or his staff, in particular he failed to manage his defensive coaches
It was decided, quite reasonably, that a new manager and coaching staff were necessary.
The Sacking:
There was no-one in place to act as caretaker over an interregnum, the result of Hughes' staff recruitment policy
A period of Kinnear-style instability was not wanted at this crucial stage of the season.
There is no pain-free way of dispensing with the services of a failing incumbent manager
Just as there is no pain-free way of reading the papers, watching SSN or reading some of the posts on here
