Anyone who thinks Paul Lambert is better at organising a defence than Mark Hughes may want to look at these stats: Hughes first 4 seasons at Stoke, GD -7, +3, -14, -15. Lambert at Villa, GD -22, -22, -26. It's true that PL has reduced the goals against since joining Stoke but you would have to ask what was going on at Villa during his time there. What are you trying to prove? Every Stoke fan I know can see that we've swapped an underperforming imbecile for a really poor manager.

Well I'm not trying to prove that Hughes is an imbecile or that Lambert is a really poor manager, just trying to be fair to both managers.

To be fair you don't really need to prove either because their stats that you keep posting are doing this quite well

We’ve replaced a wank manager with a wank manager, and Southampton have replaced a wank manager with a wank manager.
I’m not concerned in the slightest, it’s a fucking suicidal appointment on their behalf.

Why would he say any different? "journalism" at it's best.

I don't mean to be overly critical of Hughes, who I think is unfairly maligned on here at times, but if he had nothing to do with transfers, and didn't enjoy one-on-one conversations with players or the motivational side of the game (according to Mark Schwarzer)...what does he actually do?

[non-anonymous blog url="https://non-anonymous blog.com/stokieboulton79/status/974777512856293377"] That's a fairly sensationalised headline. Here's the actual quote: Hughes said: “You have to take human emotions out of it a little bit in this current stage. Clearly I was there a long time and you don’t want to see people struggle that you have worked really closely with.
“But it is difficult and it is sport, you have to accept the consequences of not performing, not getting the results you want. You’re always in danger and that is the reality of what we do.”

Coates will be pleased Hughes has a new job as that means we can stop paying him.

Do you really expect him to say anything different? I would expect any manager to have said the same. Hardly going to stay I only want saints to stay up providing it's not at Stokes expense
Yes, he fucked up and got complacent in his last 12 months or so with us but a lot of people seem to be forgetting his first 2.5 years with us which were without doubt some of the most enjoyable of my Stoke supporting lifetime

These stats are virtually meaningless because they do not reveal anything about the underlying causes of the performance. In addition you can make any argument you want with the numbers. I assume you are trying to prove Lambert started with a shit defense and didn’t make it any worse. Hughes started with a decent defense and effed it up?

Mate the thing is - it’s speaks for itself that he wants to save Southampton.... but why come out and say it? After he’s ruined our club he’s now rubbing it in. It takes the piss

lets hope that "new manager bounce" means they win in the cup tomorrow and then beat west ham then fail to gain another point.

New Southampton manager vows to try and keep Southampton up, talks fairly respectfully about former employers.
What’s the issue again sorry?

The best part about it is that those kicking up a fuss are the same ones who wouldn't have a bad word said about Pulis over his antics here as West Brom manager and the Shawcross loser phone message incident.

In fairness to him he did raise expectations thanks to 3 ninth place finishes. A fourth would have been nice, but for some reason he/we became shite.

It’s been a good season for him if Southampton stay up. Sacked with a big pay off, new job with I assume a big bonus for keeping his new club up. He is almost being rewarded for doing such a terrible job with us this season if we go down and they stay up.
