Well I hope he's still reading now, because I want to tell him how much I fucking hate him for losing the plot so badly.

I think it's hilarious. The man is an absolute clown and it probably explains a lot of our form in the last 12 months or so of his tenure. He resorted to reading fans views on players, tactics, subs, himself... Just wow. If this doesn't make some kind of national news and Hughes doesn't get asked about it soon i'd be surprised. I get that SOME staff related to the club would read / monitor the Oatcake in some form, but for a full time manager, being paid untold amounts of money, in charge of players and a team in a multi million pound league, to read the fans message board and essentially being obsessed by it. Is not just borederline embarrassing, it's completely laughable. "The fans here sometimes demand you bang it long and chase after it" His now infamous speech after the West Ham home game a few years ago. Yeah, cheers Marchy. I think I spent almost the entire 18 months between July 2016 and his sacking whining about us hoofing it long, sitting back and being scared of playing good football. The bloke clearly listened to the wrong posters

Of course the owners, staff, managers, players read The Oatcake, what in heavens name is wrong with that? Are you kidding me? You're happy for the manager of Stoke City Football club to be 'addicted' to reading the Oatcake? Do you think Pep, Jose, Wenger et al read fanzines of their clubs and take in what fans are saying? No, they have their own mind and manage the team in the way they should... i.e when they got their coaching badges and management courses and what they learn over the years of being in the game. Yet the complete and utter moron we had in charge, decided to read the Oatcake. I can almost guarantee everything he read, he would have taken in / put into his thoughts for selections, tactics, set ups. I bet he was addicted because he lost faith in his own ability, doubted himself and his methods. Do you remember how many times he changed his selection, his formations, his philosophy... ?!??!! It all makes sense now. All managers will want to get a feel for what the fans are saying, that's a wise thing to do.
Do you seriously think he read The Oatcake and then took the advice of some posters regarding tactics, that's absurd!

Depending on what day he logged on there could have been a thread full of very well done Glen Whelan photoshops or thousands of pizza references
If he took anything here seriously then he's an idiot, if he was genuinely basing managerial decisions based on what he read on here then he's a massive fraud

To be honest if there was a messageboard with 20,000 people talking about me all day, I would want to take a look.
Its human nature at the end of the day.

Kinky John will not be swayed or upset by the vicious libel banded about on internet message boards. It is for this reason that it is a great tragedy the Coates family did not move quickly to secure the services of my team and I. Instead I must focus on entertaining those closest too me rather than signing Charlie Adams up to my gruelling schedule of double PE twice a week. Today would have been hockey on the outside court. Table tennis in the event of inclement conditions.

It probably should have read that Hughes was addicted to oatcakes - I have him down as a bacon and brown sauce kinda guy.....although, looking at him, he may like a bit of sausage!

Fantastic shout, I remember that clown saying we weren't in a relegation scrap when we were smashed by West Ham and the Hughes out chants really started en masse. Account has since been deleted I think.

With as much coaching as we had around that time, that's more likely than not!

Managing their football team correctly makes fans happy. The jizzcloth wouldn’t have had to check a fucking message board to gauge opinion if he did his bastard job properly. I never thought I’d hate an ex stoke manager more than quitterill - I even used to daydream about smashing that twat’s ratty face in - but this fucker has since taken that mantle.

He's obviously not reading it now, otherwise he'd take Diouf to Southampton and turn him into that world class striker, he was on about. He had a face like a slapped arse when Brighton equalised. I did enjoy that look on his face!
