Hughes won’t see Christmas or the dugout of a Premier League team again once he’s gone. Awful manager. There is a group of them that we were familiar with, Pardew, Moyes, Warnock, Hodgson, Hughes, Strachan, that thing we saw last year, McLaren, Curbishley. Either already done & unemployable in the modern game or in their last role at the highest level.
Out of touch with the modern game and inspiring this generation of self employed millionaires who also happen to be Premier League footballers. The game has changed, quicker, more movement and less contact - less throw it in the mixer and look for flick ons, your first foul is a free one, let him know you are there - if there is a place for all that, it’s not the way of any team expecting to do well on a consistent basis!
Hope you're wrong.
He's like a worse Moyes for me. He's a footballing dinosaur. He had a philosophy 15 years ago which was hugely successful. But football has evolved, and they have not.
Keep him in the job, because, for me, he'll only take Southampton down.
