Hughes got his experience at Wales, as Mancini got it at Fiorentina and Lazio. At the end of the day it is frustrating me that people seem to be down playing the calibre of Mancini and comparing him to Hughes which is just plain embarrassing.
I'm not embarrassed, thanks. I'mnot downplaying Mancini either, I am more pointing out the fact that other than Damocles, who talked up Hitzfeld, EVERYONE of the outers only could come up with Mourinho and Hiddink, however having finally got their wish to see Hughes out, they have now ended up with Mancini and whilst he has a better track record than Hughes, he isn't in the same mould as Mourinho when it comes to trophies. So when I compare a likeness to Hughes and Mancini, it is purely from the point of view that they are up and coming managers and not the world class manager people kept on barking on that they wanted. On that basis then it has the potential to leave egg on the outers faces, based ont he
fact he knows nothing about English football other than an end of season stint at Leicester! I never wanted Mourinho or Hiddink as I thought Hughes should have been given time, but at least they had knowlewdge of the league.
