Mark Hughes

[polish]

Please stay Silva.

 

[Tigger]

Knows the club, up for a scrap, I reckon he would do a job yano. .

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

I hope the club have just through those names out there to slow down the sack Silva bandwagon, it might be them letting people know that this is the calibre of manager you're getting in November when you're near the bottom of the league

 

[BigBlueConk]

Can't wait.

One is failing and the other to continue the bad work.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Please let there by nothing in this. Would rather Martin O'Neill's breed of anti-football to that caveman hughes. Apalling idea.

We did not bring in Marcel Brands so he could hire Mark Hughes.

I wonder if Hughes stock has risen slightly on the basis of Stoke's continued implosion (think he had them at ninth) and Southampton's more recent one? The latter in particular, when Hassenhutl came in and got a tune out of them it didn't reflect well on Hughes who came out looking like a dinosaur.

Honestly, I said a few months ago that Brands would never hire Moyes, but now im totally convinced hes next up.

If Silva has been sacked we are in real trouble, even more trouble than we are now.

In that case we would need :

A manager that knows the league
A manager that can grind out results
A manager that can make a team hard to beat
A manager currently out of work

Moyes is ya man sadly.

We got Sam in cos we needed somebody like him, if Silva has gone, we need a Moyes.

Gives us a chance to get to the summer when our options open up vastly.

Give me other names? Ive thought long and hard and Moyes is the obvious choice.

Problem with Moyes is the same problem that saw caretakers OGS and Dalglish score long term contracts, despite not fitting the previously disclosed plans of their clubs owners. Someone with that level of past association comes in, gets an initial boost from not being Marco Silva, results improve and a tidal wave of relief and emotion together with fear of what could've been gets the board to rip up their plans and wheel out the long contract. Then the new manager boost wears off and the long, expensive realisation that he's not the messiah can begin.

That's why Sam and not Moyes was the name they went for last time. That's why this time they'd presumably prefer a Hughes or Pulis, They are clearly not permanent options so Brands can continue with his long term plan whilst they get on with grinding out the continuation of premier league status.

Still hoping a couple of results can get some confidence in for Deadly December and we can limp through to the summer when there's a greater chance of getting an appointment for the long term.

The board are purposely watching Silva's stock drop lower and lower so it makes the likes of managerial no-marks such as Hughes somehow seen appealing all of a sudden.

 

[Caolam]

Mark Hughes has a proven track history of failure. He would certainly manage expectation levels.

 

[COYBL25]

Hated us when he played for us.

We hated him when he played for us.

The fume would be Allardyce x 10 levels.

Lol.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Moyes or Hughes though? It’s like Mike Tyson asking u if u wanna be smacked by his left hand or his right. Early retirement for me.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

LOL This is potentially the only option more unappealing than Allardyce!
Last time he was in management he was nearly responsible for TWO clubs being relegated in the same season

 

[evertonarntwe]

Won't happen but would be ultimate Everton wouldn't it

Dunno how we have put up with this club for long yenno

 

[COYBL25]

What a way to start the weekend, the prospect of Mark Hughes as manager

 

[MikeH72]

I’d actually want him to lose every single game until he’s sacked, but thankfully we aren’t going near him so I don’t have to worry about it.
