Mark Bowen is already there as sporting director so it would make sense

I think it’s a good move for them and Hughes, he can do wonders when working on a budget and he’ll get a lot of respect from the players at this level. His stock may have fallen significantly in the past few years but he’s far from finished as a manager. Good luck to him.

Because for a while he had us playing the best football I’ve ever seen at Stoke and brought in some extremely talented players. It ended badly, but LMH is not the reason for our current predicament, pretty much every big decision by the board since his sacking has been catastrophic.

You can bet your life on Reading doing the double on us if Hughes rocks up there.

He's a massive reason why we are where we are, and that minuscule spell of great football wasnt worth the shit we've had to endure since because of his inability to manage.

So his signings of saido, wimmer and imbula have not left the club is a mess?

Is he bollocks a massive reason. Coates was to blame for Hughes, he hired him. Hughes did a great job in the middle part of his time in charge but when he stopped delivering what did Coates say? I don't know what all the fuss is about. Coates let everyone down where Hughes is concerned.

So Hughes is completely blameless for the signings that got us relegated then, and completely blameless for letting his control over a group of mercenary wankers rot? Yes, the family are also in it up to their necks but don't try and tell me that Hughes isn't to blame for creating the mess we are in.

Exactly right 👍 Players some of whom continue to be a problem nearly 2 years after he signed them.

So you don't think he was responsible for our best Premier League position for 3 consecutive seasons, something that for a club of our side was, and is, virtually impossible to sustain. The club was in a mess when Hughes took it over, we'd finished 6pts from relegation, scored only 34 goals in the season. How many clubs of our size have finished 9th or above for 3 consecutive seasons in the Prem? I'd love to see the list. All managers fail at some point. In fact, name a Prem manager outside of the big 6 who has not failed over 4 plus seasons? I'll be amazed if you can name 5. That 'miniscule spell' of success and some inspiring football over 3 seasons will never be repeated in my life time I'm absolutely certain of it.

The poor sods.
I wonder if they will get to really come to appreciate the players they sign for years to come for the price they sign them for just like we did.

Hughes was a twat in the end but he wasn't the massive reason.

Some of the football, for an all too brief spell was outstanding, I don't deny that but let's not pretend that the whole of Hughes' reign was all sweetness and light. That third, fabled 9th place finish involved some of the wankest football and biggest drubbings I've ever seen a Stoke team be a part of. In my opinion, as I've stated on loads of occasions on here, is that the mess he left us in (which was definitely a whole world bigger than the one you say he inherited) wasn't worth the 9th place finishes or the very brief spell of scintillating football.

Hate it when fans forget the good times of a manager, just like we do with Pulis, sometimes some of you lot think we deserve Klopp or somet, Hughes was very successful for the first couple of years, then lost his way.

Hughes was the start of the rot. To many big egos and not enough man management to put them in their place.
The feckers did what they wanted and Hughes couldn't handle them.
We're paying for it now.
