Shame At Being A Blue

What I would ask though is if Kidd is incapable of acting as a caretaker for a week what the hell is he doing as Assistant manger? (I am not against this appointment by the way)

What would be the point though? The board obviously decided that they didn't want to sack the manager without having his replacement in place (which I am hugely grateful for - no power vacuum) so as far as I can see making Kidd caretaker for a week would have been purely to make those fans who feel sorry for Hughes feel a bit better about things?

Fuck that. City first.

Or are you saying that they should have sacked Hughes before even approaching anyone as it is 'unfair' on Hughes?

Again, fuck that. City first.

Like to explain what your problem is with Blue tinted glasses when worn by a City fan?

Sorry mate, but its time to wake up and smell the coffee. The winds of change are blowing stronger than ever over the club.
 
Re: De Niro's & Others' Shame At Being A Blue

Everybody has their own opinion regarding the sacking of Hughes its taken a while for it to sink in with me but for what it is worth this is my take on the situation.

1) Didn't want Hughes in the first place.

2) The squad of players he inherited from Sven were better than the players Sven inherited from Pearce. Mancini has now inherited a fine squad, one that with proper coaching could deliver sucess.

3) If Mancini is given some time and money no doubt he will improve it further which may result in silverware this season.

4) As long as the squad of players he leaves behind on a future date is better than the one he has inherited today then this shows two things

First our owners will back the manager with funds to ensure the squad gets better and better for the challenges that lie ahead and that the owner are still committed to the club

Second the owners goals are exactly the same as the fans, both want sucess and both want it sooner rather than later.

5) I don't really care who the manager is when eventually we win something, I have yet to see us win anything since I started following City in 1977 and it would be nice if that sucess could be realised before I pop my clogs.

6) It may be that the handling of the sacking of MH could have been done better, but that is history the only thing that matters is the club getting three points on Saturday.

7) Finally, it doesn't matter who is the owners of City, who the manager is or who the players are that wear the sky blue shirt, on paper our owners own the club and can do with it what they will in whatever manner they choose but what they can never own is the loyalty, humour of the City fans who really own the club and have done since it was founded. To all the disgruntled fans lets wait and see what happens saturday we are 6th in the table have a semi final in CC to look forward to, don't get bitter and twisted over one managerial sacking, it is right to thank MH for the work he has done but until we are prem champions etc it is still work in progress.

Apologies for the long reply but people need to keep faith and support our owners they have done everything we ever wished for and finally support the team as you did even in those dark days when we were in the old third division.

Agreed.

City have replaced a manager with a new and improved manager. City have done nothing wrong. Even Adrian Durham on talksport said so, and thats nothing short of unbelievable.

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

You make a good point about it partly the result of Hughes' staff recruitment policy, the club really had no one to handle the game.

Plus as Hughes should have been capable of winning with a motivated team why sack him just before the game and risk the team not showing up. Forget Hughes's feelings he walks away with several million for his 18 months I think that the club earned the right to sack him the way they did when handing over that type of cash.
