I'm saying that sacking managers does bring success. Real Madrid are the proof. The directors and the fans of Real Madrid expect success. Nothing more, nothing less. If the manager isnt successful, he is sacked. The new manager instantly knows where the benchmark is and he knows what is expected. So do the players. That winning mentallity comes down from the boardroom, on to the terraces and ultimately on to the pitch.
No, having money brings success, would sacking the manager every six months achieved anything if they had had f*ck all money to spend.
I would rather we build success in the Man U/Arsenal way than the Real Madrid way although both options require money which is fortnately what we have got :-)
I can't believe there are so many miserable f*ckers on here when David Villa's agent was at the game yesterday. Time for a reality check I think, some people are just getting too hung up on the Hughes thing.
Note what I wrote.
When we find/sign a manager who has won things, is tactically astute and can attract worldclass players becuase they know his name and want to play for him, and when the said manager starts produceing a city team that is at least capable of being consistent, finishing in the top 6/4, gets to finals and win trophies, then we keep him. Until that time we will continue along the road of mediocrity, bordering on a shambles, espcially with hughes in charge.
What do you want. Mark hughes for another seaosn or two or a worldclass manager, who knows what he is doing?
I've been waiting 30 fucking years for some consistency and I don't mean losing, relegation fights and relegation. I'd like to see us win a trophy before I die. Is mark Hughes the manager capable of doing that? Is he f***!
