Mark Hughes

[Saxo1man41]

Tried to evolve his game buying luxury players like shaquiri, arnautovic and bojan.. Silly man, should have stuck to buying the likes of savage, Bellamy types that can be counted on week in week out..

Saying all that, I'd have him back at Rovers.. As long as he reverted back to his 'bully boys' style.

As you know, Saxo, I've always had huge reservations about this ""good manager"/"bad manager" business.
I see that Roy Hodgson and David Moyes are "good managers" again at the moment, whereas Hughes and Frank de Boer have suddenly transformed into "bad" ones.
Do people never conclude that there must be more to success and failure than just the man in charge at a particular time?
Which will Mowbray be by the end of the season?

I understand what you're saying, but I do believe in the theory that managers 'lose the dressing room', and pass a point of no return. Pulis was never turning it round at west brom, and likewise Hughes wasn't at stoke.

I know in your book, you'd stick by your manager, but neither of those showed any sign of reversing bad results, despite being given a lot of time.

I wouldn't touch Hughes. The last time he did a good job was back with us. Since then he has been given tonnes of money and not produced. Not what we need at all ...............
