Would you expect there not to be a contingency plan should MH not achieve the stated objective of 6th place? MH himself will know that he will be judged on his performance over the whole season, and we should accept the owners as being as good as their word, anything less would be disrespectful to them.
A denial or vote of confidence will not appease the outers, they have their agenda and wont let it go, which is a shame as I'd hoped that the factionalism that his riven this club for years (since Swales at least) had disintegrated following the advent of ADUG.
I, personally, believe that the there is no advantage whatsoever to be gained from the calls for MH to be sacked, given what we know about tour owners, do you really believe that they are likely to listen to that call if it reflects poorly on their reputation and honour? As it is, it only divides and distracts, so until the end of the season we should back the manager rather than provide ammunition for the opposition and media hacks.

The only way to shut the press up is to start winning games.
Sack Hughes, they will rip into us, slamming our owners for not backing a British manager ets ets ets.
Keep him and we dont win anything, the press will just rip into us for spending so much and doing fuck all.
We cant win with them so they shouldnt matter in our plans.

I agree with the first two parts of that but can't see there's a problem with sacking MH at the end of the season, if need be . Sure the press will say we've failed and so will we all, but that will be laid firmly at the door of MH as he will not have achieved his objectives and the owners will have been true to their word. Further, our "plans" are long term ones that are not wholly dependent on the accomplishment of this seasons objective.

if you could pick the top managers in the world would hughes be in there ?
has he shown anyone on here he is a top class manager ?
the answers are no
he is not good enough for this project, simple as
i actually like the guy , i like his attitude , like his demeanour, but he is tactically inept
that is the fact of this matter
and i challenge anyone to prove me wrong

I wish Hughes would prove you wrong. I highly doubt he will, though.

He's still in touch with the targets you set him, yet now you've raised the bar and deicded he isnt good enough, well I don't fancy a 6 month holiday in manchester this job aint for me.'
