Like I said in the other thread, today more and more fans are questioning why Sven was sacked for Hughes...well the dumbest man involved in football (ha!) deserves to be criticised again!

Not saying that...I'm saying they didn't buy us because of him...i.e what he could offer them. ADUG bought us because we're a damn good proposition for someone willing to throw big bucks at a football club.
Ric said:Why didn't they come in earlier, say when Thaksin took charge? Plenty of other Premiership clubs were available given their wealth. Thaksin, for all his sins (of which there are many), made us a far more attractive proposition than we were previously. And it's no secret the fact that Shinawatra had close allies in the Arab world made them choose us. The guy is morally unscrupulous to say the last, but we wouldn't be where we are now but for him.
Ric said:Haha, c'mon. That's all hearsay about him interfering with footballing matters. You know, and I know, that we wouldn't have been sold to ADUG but for Thaksin's links. There's no shame in admitting that.
Ric said:There were plenty of rumours in the tabloids of players having to bow to the chairman, which I know for a fact is untrue. Don't believe everything you read in The Sun Jay.
Maybe Hughes was his appointment, but I think you're going overboard in your loathing of a man based on a managerial appointment that may have been wrong (although still undecided). Not the most heinous crime eh. I take it he doesn't merit any credit for the signings of SWP, Kompany, and Zabaleta? Fair do's. But if not then I presume you're giving the credit to Hughes?
