I wouldn't expect anything different.

Quote:TBF to Sparky the Man City job is a poisoned chalice. For me he has them progress just about well enough to keep his job. You don't turn into a title winning team overnight unless you have somebody like Mourinho in charge. Probably the worst thing about him leaving, if the story is confirmed at 1930, is that taking the Citeh job has probably ruined his chance of taking over from Fergie when he retires.


Mourinho only took Chelsea from second place to first. I don't think even he would expect to take Citeh to the top 2.

The Citeh job was a good job for Hughes to take at the time. He's done okay, but IMO the different targets of the new owners have made his position unsafe. I think he emerges from this, if he does go now, pretty well. Most chairman will have sympathy for his position and put it down to the change in ownership.

I think United fans would see past him managing Citeh if he was to prove himself as a manager. Citeh fans got over him being ex United and Chelsea. He's still an ex United playing legend at the end of the day. If he's a managerial success I think United fans would love for him to come back as manager.

Think they can do what they want, because they've suddenly got money. :wink:

Reackon they'll be getting a slap on the wrist for that. All clubs will be contractually obligated to give post match interviews.

Man City are 6th ... 4 points behind 4th placed Spurs with a game in hand. I know that success / failure is measured in different ways by different Clubs with different aspirations but come on, this is hardly abject failure.

They got beat badly in midweek admittedly ... so did United today ... Taxi for Fergie ... I think not.

They didn't appoint Hughes. He was already in the job. Hughes was a decent choice for Citeh pre-Sheikh, but he just doesn't look like someone who is going to win things.

If you spend a few hundred million pounds on players you want them managed properly. If you're spending top money you want top quality management to make sure the investment gives you the returns.

Fergie got stuffed today, but that is nothing when he's won 12 (?) titles and the CL twice. He went to United with a massively superior record to the one Hughes has. Just because the very best managers get backed to the hilt, it doesn't mean you back average managers the same.

Chelsea were right to get rid of Ranieri. Citeh will be doing the right thing if they bring in a top level manager.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
