You don't get out your cheque book and offer lucrative contracts to anyone before you have conducted a thorough research into their (a) character (b) hunger (c) lifestyle. Unfortunately for us our beloved Mr Hughes failed to learn the lessons of his time at QPR where he squandered the owners money on high-earning, unmotivated. wastrel freeloaders. My great fear is that we will be forced to watch on helplessly as Hughes is offered a long-term contract at Southampton whilst we languish in obscurity for the next 5/10/20 years as a consequence of his gross incompitance.

The majority of the blame should not be laid at mark Hughes feet.
In my opinion.
Mark Hughes was part of a problem we could all see but the biggest problem was the people above refusing to see or act

The big contracts, which I agree now seem foolish, were surely a reaction to the Nzonzi and Arnie situations, only one of which had a positive(ish) resolution?

Not only is it a lesson to ourselves but also to the rest of the premier league too. We were comfortably a mid table side, one not spoken of in relegation terms. It just shows the dangers of going away from the style of play / type of players / dressing room stability / club values that we were renowned for. All that hard work gone in a couple of seasons and it shows you can never get too complaceet or lose sight of the attributes what got you where you were.
The mistakes from the first team management and the hierachy of the club above them that lead us to this situation need looking at very carefully to ensure its not repeated.

Whilst i agree in principle, Hughes should have never been given the opportunity to do so. if you get together with a shagger, don't be astounded if they then go off and shag. The fault for the onboarding of these players lies with Scholes & Cartwright, both of whom are answerable to the Chairman, not to the manager. |

Looking at us as a Championship team this morning, it appears to me very much like we've learned absolutely fuck all.
