They got beat badly in midweek admittedly ... so did United today ... Taxi for Fergie ... I think not.'"
They didn't appoint Hughes. He was already in the job. Hughes was a decent choice for Citeh pre-Sheikh, but he just doesn't look like someone who is going to win things.
If you spend a few hundred million pounds on players you want them managed properly. If you're spending top money you want top quality management to make sure the investment gives you the returns.
Fergie got stuffed today, but that is nothing when he's won 12 (?) titles and the CL twice. He went to United with a massively superior record to the one Hughes has. Just because the very best managers get backed to the hilt, it doesn't mean you back average managers the same.
Chelsea were right to get rid of Ranieri. Citeh will be doing the right thing if they bring in a top level manager. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

He's better out of the loony bin

You could understand it had City gone and pulled Hiddink or Mourinho out of the hat, but Mancini?
Not an appointment that would make me think things are going to get much better if I was a City fan.

Well I disagree.
Mancini is a step above Hughes. 4 Italian Cups and 3 Serie A titles in his short career against fresh air from Hughes.
Man City aren't in a position right now to capture a Hiddink or Mourinho, unless they got very, very lucky.
The major worry from Citeh's POV is if Mancini struggles with the transition to the PL. That could mean Citeh don't qualify for Europe. I think Hughes should have possibly been given time to either succeed or fail, but if the Citeh players were indicating their lack of belief in Hughes that could have been what made their decision.
If Mancini was at the stadium today though both Citeh and Mancini deserve to fail. Disgusting if they came out with that stunt. If that was the case they should have sacked Hughes before the game so he didn't have to suffer with having to go through the whole of today knowing he was out.
