I firmly believe that David Moyes and Sam Allardyce would have been sacked at City but both proved to be successful - which in the Big 4 era equates to Uefa Cup and decent cup runs - at Everton and Bolton.
I'm not happy with our results or MH but I do think that we lack the personnel to win tight games. We have one, yes one proper defensive midfielder in Kompany. Didi's too old and Fernandes hasn't the football brain for the PL. We also cannot control games through possession as SWP, Ireland, Robbie and Elano are all pass and move players. Some of our games resemble basketball rather than football. Oh for an Alonso. We also have no physical presence. You could drive a bus through our central midfield somedays, especially away from home.
I'm wavering at the moment but my head says stick with Hughes.There's criticism of Les' training methods but apparantly these are the same plans used by both Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen - make of that what you will. The media are reporting on a civil war in the camp but make no mistake there can only ever be one boss: the manager, whoever it is. And as for discipline being the wrong way, 5 of the top-6 managers in the PL are disciplinarians IMHO and most of best coaches have authoritarians, historically.
The ADUG money is a joyous but huge burden. It's created expectations that are a little bit unrealistic given that we've been mainly a mid-table yo-yo type club for 3 decades. We've thrown around £120M at the squad and we've still got a raft of Psycho's players. This is gonna take time and a shed load of money it seems.
C'mon CITY !
