Sorry mate but you are wrong ..... honestly .... just believe me on this one.
What I have stated, is not my policy ....... !!!!
So let me get this right, what you are saying is, that all that was in the public domain about 4th place finishes is totally untrue.
Whatever happens this season including not finishing in the top 4, and finishing midtable is totally acceptable to our owners,and Hughes will be rewarded with another season and another couple of hundred million.
2 very mediocre seasons after over £200 000 000 of finance is all in the bigger scheme of things, your telling me you know this for a fact ?,so I am to assume the players and the squad also know this for a fact ( errrrrrrrrm might explain their don’t give a fcuk performances at least)
Hughes job is safe regardless……………. Roflmao
Seriously mate I have never heard so much complete and utter tosh in my life.
You may think it's tosh but ..... it's true. The players aren't safe though as he can buy/sell/drop anyone he wants.
Like it or lump it .... the first 3 years of their tenure are all about building relationships and credibility. They correctly believe that if they react as the press would like them too, they will never have credibility and that will last forever. However, if they are seen to back and stand by 'a manager' (and MH is just the incumbant) the credibilty the football world will give them will last forever too and they will in coming years be able to recruit who ever they want .
It's a fine balance though Mark, continuing to back a manager
if he is clearly failing would also surely damage their credability?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we are at that point yet but it could certainly happen before three years are up!
It is a fine balance but it is the way they run their business. They are more bothered about respect at the moment than results. They believe, get respect within the industry first and then you build up your empire on the back of it. They have the patience and MH is the lucky guy who just had the incumbant position whern they arrived. They do think a lot of him though. Success will come with him or without him ..... they can wait.
Also remember, we are the smallest business they own and we are just one small part of the Abu Dhabi Commercial Masterplan over the next 10 years. The 'next 5 games' threads mean a lot more to us than them at the moment. They are looking at the next 5 YEARS.
Amen brother Lytham... Amen.
There's a hell of a lot of speculation and personal opinion being spouted in this thread... whilst trying to make it look like ITK. ITK belongs on Bluemong unless you're a well respected member of this site IMO and nothing will change that.
Hughes is going nowhere unless it becomes abundantly clear to our owners that he is the cause of a settled team losing with regularity.
That is NOT the case right now, so all this "He's gone anyday now" and "There's light at the end of the tunnell, I read it in the mirror" bollox should be left to the kids in the playground...
There are problems and they will be sorted.... or else he will be gone. Its quite simple.
And all you football fans who've been following the game for years that think that you buy a top four team on paper and it immediately starts to play better than the teams that have been there an age before, should have a long hard think about all the teams you've seen get to that level before us.
I hadn't bothered with this thread to date as I saw that the OP was just the same old bollocks but I'm glad i popped back as lytham has posted the most sensible and accurate assessment of the situation I have seen since we failed to salvage the draw against the scum.
I am wholly confident that we would have to have an absolute disaster of a season for Hughes to get the heave ho. The reactions of many on here are predictable in the extreme but I have to say that the frustration caused by their ranting is tempered by the stance of some of the "decent posters who have been anti-Hughes" which is clearly frustrated but seeing much more sense than was often the case last year.
None of us is happy with dropping 10 points in 5 games but I think most with half a brain know that a) it's not the time to pull the ejector seat handle and b) it's just not going to happen any time soon and so there is little mileage in banging on about it.
I'm all for decent dissection of poor performances (from management and playing staff) and I don't care if people vent their frustration during and post disappointing matches but some of the posting this last couple of weeks has just been moronic (....it's been funny to have RIG back and barmy as ever though.....he's a bit like some crazed uncle who is institutionalised though, who escapes every now and then and goes mental!)
Anyway, I'm a happy clapping hughes licker and even I am far from happy at present. But, crisis?........what crisis?
