The *OFFICIAL* Hughes Poll

Owain said:Interesting that even the 'Hughes In' option on the poll is worded 'you don't want Mark Hughes to be sacked right now.
People on this forum never fucking learn. Too many Blues baying for blood, when we should be sticking by the manager. It's as if the last 15-odd years never happened!
If we keep sacking the manager WE WILL WIN FUCK ALL.
It is worded to be crystal clear.
Hughes In means you don't want him sacked at the current moment, you are willing to give him time, etc.
Hughes Out means that he has had enough time and money to have done a better job, get him out right now.
On the fence means you are unsure either way.
I don't want him sacked. At all. He's not been sacked from any job he's had. He turned around a Wales side punching grossly above its weight - and I would know, because I watched every international under him - and made a Blackburn side run on a shoe-string into a decent outfit.
It's precisely because of these illogical targets being set that the side is playing the way it is; that he's had to 'buy players with Premier League experience,' which I think is a load of old toss anyway. For once this football club looks like it has a modicum of organisation, a management team who have a fucking clue and a board who aren't looking over their shoulders every week worrying about creditors.
Sack Hughes and it's going to come back and bite us in the arse.

Hang on, your saying he was made to buy these players?
What players did he want to buy?
If he is that fucking weak, we definately have got the wrong man!
Oh and Wales and Blackburn are not City!
And Aberdeen aren't the scum, but Taggart worked wonders there.
I'm certainly not saying he was made to buy certain players; he was obviously attracted to Premier League players because he didn't think he had time to take a chance on a foreign player who would half a season to acclimatise to the Premier League: for instance, I doubt he would have bought De Jong this summer.

Rubbish with respect fella, he stated quite clearly that these players were the ones he wanted and needed! As for not thinking he has time, he keeps telling all that will listen that he is under no threat, that his vision is shared by all and that he will be around for a long time yet!

Hughes problem may be in the staff he has surrounded himself with. Are they good enough for the job?.
Comfort zones with 'yes men' perhaps, only time will tell. I remain on the fence.

Trust me, what he says publicly and privately are two very different things. By the same token, when Khaldoon says top 6, I think we can all agree he means top 4.
I'm not saying he's flawless - I wouldn't have signed Toure, nor would I have signed Lescott: I think they're both bobbins and would rather have Neddy and Vinny in the middle of the back four any day of the week - all the same Hughes has a strategy. Can anyone say that about any of our managers over the last 15 years?

When do you think he might share it with the players?
