Leslie spouts off

[Beefymcfc]

Yet!

[brite blu sky]

On the eve of a derby. Who'd have thought it eh.

One of the best decisions ever was to sack this useless twat.

It is quite amazing how the book is never closed on events.. I felt he was treated harshly at the time, now I'm thinking he deserved it if this is his mentality.

Leaves City, ends up at Fulham. Says it all. Weren't exactly queueing up were they, and I thought he did ok with us. Shows what I know.

Leaves City, ends up at Fulham then resigns thinking he's on his way to Chelsea - now unemployed due to his representative, Kia, who is also Carlos Tevez representative. Says it all. Weren't exactly queueing up were they, and I thought he did ok with us. Shows what I know.

Just added to for factual content.

i thought he left Fulham because he thought he'd got Villa, only they then decided they didn't want him.

Either-or pal, he was mis-represented and that's why he's out of a job.

[Renato_CTID]

Hughes talking about "style" of managing great players? Seems to me like asking to a young painter what's his opinion about Leonardo's style when he painted La Gioconda ... simply ridicolous!

[Beefymcfc]

How did he get on managing Robinho?

But we are being held back by Mancini. We should be higher in the league table than we are.

[The Man In Blue]

Lol - He couldn't even handle Jo.

I agree, wholeheartedly. No, wait a minute, hang on.............

[Spurge]

I don't know what all the fuss is about - he's been interviewed before the derby and as someone who has been involved with both clubs he is an ideal interviewee.

Is he spouting off? I'm not so sure - he's given his opinion against themes/questions led by the interviewer, was anyone really surprised or shocked or indeed outraged by his response. I wasn't.

He's right in identifying the differences in the management styles between himself and Mancini because they are very different. It's right to suggest he was perhaps disadvntaged by the fact that he was not appointed by the current owners. It's understandable that there may be some resentment as a result of how his sacking was handled.


So no big shakes really - nothing new and nothing to get ovelry worked up about here.

I am and have always been happy with the job Mancini has done since arriving at the club, equally I had nothing against Hughes or the job he was doing at the time of he was dismissed.

It was not Mancini's fault Hughes was dismissed or that he was appointed as his replacement. My main hope when Mancini arrived was that the owners would give him a chance and they have so far.

Looking back at the Hughes era isn't really important, but I don't want to see our owners do an Ambramovic and sack a manager who delivers 2nd in the prem and 2nd in the champs league as they did when they sacked Avram Grant.

[Chinners]

Top post ... fully agree

Absolute Bollox post, and Hughes is an absolute Bollox cunt as well!

I'd say this if I didn't agree with you so much, just to keep the agenda going.

Hughes Out!!!

[Foreverinbluedreams]

The fuss is about Hughes allowing himself to be used as Kia's puppet.

His suggestion that Mancini is to blame for the T***z saga.

And I also have a problem with him praising the mantra at U*d while at the same time criticising an autocratic style of management, if it wasn't for autocracy that mantra would not have been instilled at the Swamp in the first place.

Apart from that, no fuss. He's a tad bitter but understandably so, I suppose.

They're just the usual sound-bites in the build-up to the Derby. Notice though, that most of these sound-bites are all Rag driven and you don't often get decent ones from our ex-players?

Fair point but is that because the media don't look for sound bites from our ex-players?

[Michigan Blue]

The fuss is that lies are being told about our manager and the media doesn't challenge it.

“He can stop using them; whereas at a lesser level, you cannot just write off players because you need them the next week. It’s a different style but at a lower level you can’t be so autocratic.

“If you look at the club he has been at – United – he has had the means to do it. That style of management is what he knows and that’s how he manages because he hasn’t had to manage any other way.”

Imagine if that had been said about Taggart. Do you suppose Aberdeen would have come up in the article?

Breaking News: Mark Hughes is a bitter rag twat.

[Kladze]

Have to say, I didn't want Hughes sacked and thought his sacking was unjust. But that article (and his reaction to the Tevez incident at the time) has sent him way down in my estimation.
