This may divide opinion but if the Hughes Out brigade (of which I was one) knew that our top 2-3 targets would turn us down would you of given Hughes till the end of the season to avoid this farce and public humiliation?

In hindsight, he should have gone after Southampton away, Tottenham away, West Ham at home.
Christ, I wanted him gone after 4-1 at Palace. 17 MONTHS AGO.

It was the right decision to sack Hughes.
It was the wrong decision to wait so long before doing it .

He should have been sacked in the summer.
Coates and the board need to hang their heads in shame.

I think the games v West Ham Castle and Coventry did for him and not a lot could have been done to get fans back onside . The pickle the club has made since then trying to get someone in is our current problem , they needed an option ready to come in as West Ham did with Moyes , Its possible worth arguing that as tough as it may seem no point giving Hughes the bullet until everything fully agreed with the new bloke would have been better than this . There seems a real risk now that the new man may be no improvement on Hughes .

You're right - maybe I'm just bottling it! I'm scared of who we may end up with. I hope we get someone to the end of the season now and try again for a long term successor in the summer

He had lost the fans, lost the players , lost the plot, lost all credibility and should have lost his job in the summer.

We would be better off with Hughes and 2 or 3 decent new signings than any of the likely candidates. If PC knew then what he knows now, he wouldn't have sacked him.

No he deserved to go but the board have been caught napping. More homework, sounding out willing candidates prior to the sacking should have been done, were they expecting to be inundated with top manager applications?

No it's only confirmed my belief that it should have been done end of last season or November at the very latest

No - He had lost the plot and was lucky to last as long as he did. Its the dithering over getting rid, alongside the penny-pinching and sheer incompetence from the likes of Tony Fucking Scholes which has led to this situation.

Stop going over the Hughes management issue and focus on where the real problem lies. Who put Hughes in power and allowed him to continue to wreck our club until it's (probably) too late? You don't like it when Shawcross doesn't perform, or Hughes for example, but fuck me, don't dare to criticise Peter Coates and his ilk when they get it horribly wrong. The Board are responsible for the current mess for sitting back and trusting Hughes when most of us could see he had to go.

Hughes should have been sacked last summer immediately after the last game of the season.

Hughes was taking us in one direction and one only - south. The worst any successor can do is . . . the same. But we know we were fucked with Hughes. Whoever the new guy is - we can't be sure he will be as bad - and he certainly can't be worse.

I liked Hughes and genuinely wanted him to succeed, but enough was enough and the guy was rightly put out of his misery. Problem is that he has been freed from that pain and the rest of us have to live with it from now until Christ knows when.

I’m not saying it wasn’t time to go as it was, however, his words “ I’m the best qualifi d manager to see this through” might just come back to bite us on the arse. 😦

No - I'd say the only reason not to sack Hughes would be so that a manager reaps what they've sown for a change.
That would have entailed pretty much relegation without a fight though; so it's not like we really had much to lose by getting rid.
