Mark Hughes at Man City

Sparky is unlucky to be sacked he's done well at city it should be rafa in the taxi not mark hughes.

Yep Hughes did extremely well to be lying 6th in the table with his £200m mercenaries and unlimited budget.  Whereas Rafa with no money at all is only 2 points behind them with Liverpool...and he deserves the sack instead of Hughes.  :

I'm not surprised he's gone, there's been talk about it for a while.
He's done well at City in my opinion, and should have been given more time.
But obviously 8 draws and a sixth spot mid season isn't good enough for the owners.

You can't let three goals in every week after spending the USA's budget for war on players and expect to keep your job though.

How much was Lescott?

20 odd million.

It was just a matter of time but I have said it once and I will say it again , a manager needs time.

So, Mancini replaces him and how many of those players in City are actually wanted by Mancini? He's gonna shuffle the squad again and he needs time again but wait, the owners are gonna replace him as well if he doesn't deliver?

It's a cycle.

Too right. You get that much money and he buys Lescott and Toure? And for 40m combined, he deserved to be sacked then.

A cycle that Mark Hughes fell off and could not get back on again.

The only good thing now is that they will be able to attract more international players.

To be honest I feel sorry for Mark Hughes. Everybody is so bloody impatient these days and wants instant success, well sometimes you just have to learn to be patient and wait.

Too much money, too little time.

Sad.

The only good thing now is that they will be able to attract more international players.

The money dictates the attraction mate or so it seems for the majority of so called quality internationals (read mercineries) irrespective though changing managers for the sake of it seldom works, having said that Chelsea seem to be the exception to the rule.

Aren't you still in nappies?

Na. That was an awful long time ago!

I'm just kidding

 Is it not time the thread title was changed to,
                                                                 Mark Hughes Not At Manchester City.

Have you seen the new managers shopping list? Things are becoming clearer though it now appears that if a manager is in the euro clique and has a certain affinity with the Italian or Spanish leagues,he is able to attract the elite of those leagues. this qualifies him for a post at a club like Citeh who have unlimited funds with which to acquire a team of mercenaries.
Mark Hughes while of course having all the credentials for the job is more of a traditional coach who will use traditional methods to do his job but these will not give the overnight results required.

Most targets of City would of thought 'who is this Hughes fella?' and now they see Mancini there and i think they'll be taken more seriously by bigger name players.

Wouldn't surprise me to see players like Yaya Toure, Eric Abidal etc. at the club very soon.

Said the same thing in the earlier post as you can see above mate, it is not the best way to carry on as I'm sure you agree it just promotes a two tier league with three or four super rich clubs forming an elite.

Cocky and arrogant ever since he got the job. Even said last season, that  "City and Chelsea have taken over from Man United and Liverpool as the biggest game of the season, as the focal point of the English Calendar".

Should never have taken the job, he knew what the end result was ALWAYS going to be.

He was a little man for a big job...
