OTF 7214 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 No way in the world that Mark Hughes would even consider it. After being cleared out an Man City going to Hull and being relegated would be disasterous for his career. Dowie is a more realistic shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7214 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'm not in the loop here, so what's with the doubts about Hughton? From the casual outside observer he seems to be doing a good job. You could have brought back JFK and relly imploded. General consensus seems to be that Hughton is doing nothing special, and that just about any manager would have yielded the same or similar results with the gulf in the class of players in this league. With that in mind if we're promoted the fear is that once the results don't come so easy the players heads will drop and Hughton won't be able to motivate them, or make the necessary tactical adjustments required.

Good summary. Plus he lacks the cohones to stand up to Fat Mike and the Casino Cruiser on re-shaping the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) they have a few winnable fixtures left, might stay up due to the other shite teams, might not. Pretty much no-one i'd want here (apart from an injury free Bullard) off their team which says it all really.

Agree with that, though for me Bullard would have to be injury free and shave off at least a couple of years (and the hair). There's a few people in Nigeria that will be able to help him with the years no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I would have probably lost all perspective and be considering him some sort of management god, rather than Hughton who is being shrugged off as a innefectual bloke who got lucky.

If Shearer was here with the same points total and the same performances, I think people would be a bit concerned as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would say is that Hughton has done exactly what it takes to get out of this division, he's built from the back and he's not lost many games. Yes one or two decisions have been suspect but he's made the team very difficult to beat and instilled a fighting spirit that was long since gone. I think anybody that witnessed the shambles that was Aston Villa on the last day of the season must have serious concerns over Shearer's ability to motivate players. To go out in the manner that we did was an absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go out in the manner that we did was an absolute disgrace. It's a fair point. Personally speaking, I think Hughton has done a pretty good job for you. After the complete shitstorm of relegation, the wages of planks like Viduka, and the fact of who you're owned by it could have been one hell of a plunge. You may have even been relegated again with that sense of doom and gloom around your club at the end of last season. Hughton seems to have got some of the confidence back up there, and whilst you probably won't challenge for Europe with the current set-up, at least you have the momentum to not be considered automatic relegation candidates. It could have been a lot worse-JFK or Dennis Wise could have taken over once Alan left. As for Dowie, there are rumours of his training methods being 'traditional' along with his man-management skills. I doubt he can keep them up. They are in a real tailspin, and have 1st division players playing for them. Edited March 17, 2010 by Billy Castell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tuco Ramirez Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 http://www.shiteseats.co.uk/post/117556188...s-songs-for-you pmsl Wonder if he'll ever get a job again. Virtually anyone who comes in to contact with Allardyce turns in to a prick, even Neil McDonald who shagged the chairmans daughter at Carlisle.
