Getting rid of mistakes is a mistake sometimes. I could be mistaken of course.

Stupid post. Hughes is history- speculating whether he would have done better or worse than Mancini is pointless, we'll never know.

I sometimes wonder what Sven would have done with all this money.

Nevermind, it's all history now.

I was, as you know, never a Hughes hater. And I was, last season, briefly a "Mancini 'outer' ".

But watching this team play just now, from goalkeeper right to the front, it's hard to imagine that anyone could have done a better job than Mancini. And that's taking into account a very sticky period last season.

Maybe so, but who knows how well Hughes could of done? To be honest I love Mancini but with the amount of money available I would expect any top manager to do just the same.

Yes but for me, having bleated on and on ad nauseum about style, it is our style of play (and the results of course) which has me purring Mancini's name :-)

I must admit, I was close to posting something of a similair sentiment not too long ago. I was disappointed when we sacked Hughes, and after many boring performances under Mancini, I continued to defend Hughes style and philosophy. I will stand up now and say it looks like I'm wrong. I have always preferred exciting football to results, but this is the most excited I've been about City since Keegan because we look to have an attacking mentality and the personnel to actually pick up serious silver. It is early on in the season so I will hold back a little, there is a part of me thinking that Mancini won't continue like this. But for now I'm enjoying my football team. Maybe more than ever.

So yes, I too will say sacking Hughes was the right decision, at the wrong time.

I remember last season being so angry with the way we played against United at home, which was one of the most pathetic performances I've ever seen from us, followed by Birmingham at home which was nearly as bad.

Mark Hughes would have won the match against Napoli. Fact.

I don't believe Mancini has achieved anything that any manager couldn't with the resources available. That includes Hughes.
It's a nonsense to suggest that because we have finally started to attack, it somehow demonstrates that Hughes would have failed. We certainly would never have put in the gutless efforts that we witnessed at Scouse, Arse and Chelsea last season.
And I still wouldn't be arsed if Bob got sacked tomorrow.
