I didn't want him to begin with, got used to the idea of him being the manager, then around this time last year got a bit fed up, then when it became clear he was being given another season decided to pack in the arguing and see how things went. Well, this is it for me. 7 points from a possible 21 would be inexcusable for the vast majority of teams, never mind one with aspirations of a Champions League finish and £250million spent.
It's not team selections- they are generally quite sensible. It's not tactical changes- they are generally quite sensible. It's a very obvious lack of a winning mentality, fight or character in a lot of these players. If they're not willing to perform for the manager- well, it makes them wankers- but it also makes Hughes' position untenable.
So, give us a special week Hughes to save yourself or get one of those lovely grey suits pressed and head down the job centre. It's in your hands.
Did not expect that from you ! Judge a season against Arsenal's kids, best in Europe & A Chelsea side who are beating everyone easily ! including in the last month Rags, Scousers, Arsenal. Porto away ! Good job Wenger, was not here we would be up for a Lynching nothing won in 5 yrs, If he wins both does he get an extension of another 2 yrs, What a way to build a club. Everyone is frustrated, but sacking a manager because the media want it and we can delever it again, sums up City for 30 yrs and counting, fans who know it is a backwards step, but say fuck it lets get another manager for the sake of it. And for those who want Jose check out Barca v Inter, the style of play was condemed as thuggary in both Italy and Spain, Inter play ugly hit and hope football,nothing but long ball, kick and body check players all night, Jose is not the solution, we are not Chelsea, we are miles away. What is the surprise to fans 6th with a game in hand it is not made up look at the table. I accept lucky to be 6th with so many draws, As for winning mentalty if the players had half of what Hughes showed as a player then we would be OK, they need to sort themselfs out but this is not the time for sacking a manager, this is the time to sit back and accept the long term is the plan, and the owners judgement.
7th actually.
Now is the time for him to go, before he does any more damage. Its clear by the players performances that they are of the same opinion. He just cant cut it at this level. I dont think that it would be change for change sake, it would be different if he was proven at this level. If that were the case I am sure fans would give him more time. There is no evidence to suggest he can do the job, Hiddink is possibly available, perfect timing imo.
