What a feeble limp cock response. Imagine the morale in the dressing room listening to this rubbish.
And
“We deserved something from the game”....
No we didn’t. You made a rookie error dropping players for the Chelsea game and now you are exposed as a tactical lightweight.
“But but Rafa made six changes too”...
Yeah. He won.

Could well be the petard he hangs himself from
He implies that no other manager would want to work under the restrictions he is placed - Not going to go down too well that

Basically saying to the Board that no one else would do this job at “Stoke” and that he is the best we can get. Almost like he is doing us a favour. I don’t think this will sit well with Mr Coates...either of them. |

If he was going to turn things around he would have done so by now.
I don't think the squad is incapable of avoiding relegation, they just need a plan and a a bit of confidence.
Only a change of leadership will bring these things.

Yes the arrogance is breath taking.
Hughes has the last 18 months arguing against him, not just the last 18 games.

He lost in Britannia stadium 4-0 without dropping any one, and 5-0 in Stamford Bridge ... It is not about dropping players, it is about a team without any tactics whatever who play.

There are a million threads with a million names on the board mate, it's dangerous and small time to think Mark Hughes is the best we're ever going to get. To believe that is to admit we do not belong in the Premier League. |

Please end this now Stoke.

I am sure they're are many, many highly qualified football coaches who would love the opportunity to manage a Premier League football team.
Hughes should really keep his trap shut if all he is going to use it for is excuses and pitiful attempts to garner sympathy.

Just to be clear I don't think he is, I just think that we are no longer able or willing to operate like a premier league club. It is all suddenly become too expensive and too costly to compete and I don't think the board or owners are willing to invest enough to keep us in the Premier League. On that basis and without guarantees of substantial backing, who other than somebody who sees it as an opportunity to make their name on a gamble (i.e. do enough with the current squad and limited funds for new additions) is going to take such a poisoned chalice?
If the backing is there (for the manager salary and funds to spend), then he should have gone months ago..

That's incorrect. The phrase from Hamlet is "hoisted" by one's own petard, not "hung", and the "hoisted" means to be blown in the air. It's a bomb. www.dictionary.com/browse/petard?s=t |

My favourite part of hughes argument is that he is irreplacaable ' because of the progress i have made here'
What progress??????

It's a perfectly valid question...who would want to take us on exactly? Hughes came as we were basically a chance for him to revive his managerial career at this level, none of the other names mentioned really need that. Rafa until last night was doing worse than us but will always be wanted amd in demand because of past achievements, Dyche has already proved himself and is highly rated etc etc. We're basically going to have to make do with who we can get because there aren't really any big pulls or incentives on offer to attract anyone half decent with any kind of experience at this level |

We can speculate as much as we want anout the reasons why Mr X would want to come here or not but until the board ask, they will.never know and we will never know. Erring on the side of sticking with Hughes because you can't second guess a stranger's thoughts about coming here is not a valid reasonto stick with him. |
