Which Managers should City never have sacked ?

[jimharri]

i think its more a case of which managers should never of got the job in the 1st place.i still don't think Hughes should of managed Manchester City football club.Can you imagine a City legend managing those twunts! lets stay away from all things stretford in future.

What, you mean like Matt Busby?

A true Clarkie moment there by Unsworth Blue. Mods, I know the thread isn't particularly "classic" material, but that post has to be saved in the classsic thread section somehow. Unsworth; I doff my cap to you. You have outdone even the legend that is Clarkie. Round of applause for Unsworth!

joe mercer, sven and hughes.

Brian Horton.

agreed, also Machin

Sorry I can't agree with Machin. We were going down no doubt. Bringing in HK was perhaps the best thing Swales ever did! Shame it turned out badly but that decision I feel kept Citys first division status (as it was back then).

Being a younger fellow I'd have to say Sven and Hughes.

 

[Rammy Blue]

should never have sacked Hughes.

Mancini, to sack him for a draw after 7 straight wins was a joke ;-)

The answer is easy, what success has any manager sacked by city ever had after leaving us?

Its not like we sacked a budding fergie or wenger now is it?

Obviously cannot speak for hughes yet.

PS Im talking about my living memory.

the comparison with Clarkie is touching but i don't think you can compere football these days with football 50 years ago.things move on.people used to go to old trafford one week,maine road the next.you would'nt get that these days.there is too much at stake in football these days.Hughes should never of managed Manchester City football club.could you imagine a Modern DAY CITY LEGEND (see what i did thier) managing those set of wankers.lets stay away from all things stretford in future.

Erm Ron Saunders did actually win the League Cup and League Title with Aston Villa as well as guiding them to a European Cup Final before quitting. But I take your point.

Reid was sacked to make way for the owners mate which is a bit deja vu ish for me,the football we played tbf was not to a lot of fans liking.
I think boring would be the right word to use,BUT he should not have been sacked because we didn't replace him with anyone better.
The one that really does stand out though is Joe Mercer,a more heinous act has never before/since been perpetuated against a City manager.
Swales's actions makes our owners decision to get rid of Hughes when we were 6th with a game in hand & in a cup semi look rational.
