That's one relegation spot sorted then if that clown takes over. We'd best hope so. Or he could have an immediate impact much as the Huddersfield lot have - back to back wins within 3 games. Still waiting for ours after 9 months.

I'm sorry minister, I'm going to have to push you for a straight answer. When was the other time you experienced 3 consecutive top 10 finishes in the top division? To answer the question per se then I donβt believe we have had 3 consecutive top 10 finishes. But we were very close to it in the 70s plus the excitement of what I have described over those seasons easily transcends the 3 seasons under hughes. IMO of course. BTW you never answered my question .....did you experience those seasons in the 70s? No - first game 1977. So got the Durban, Barker (until POMO), Macari, Thordason (if you can call it that), Pulis and Hughes glory years. And the utter utter dross in between.

Mark must be wondering why 'his team' are getting offered jobs 'he' is applying for... shall I give you a clue, leslie? π I'm quite interested to discover how you know he's applied for the job, how does the average fan find these things out? Did 'Tone' apply as well?

However, it is a reasonable assumption that his agent is inquiring about all potential openings because thatβs his job. Unless Hughes is retired, which I doubt.

Thatβs agentsβ main job. And that's why Berahinosgoals post struck me as being rather humerous and why I was questioning him, for some reason he ignored me, just like you did when I asked you whether you thought MH would act like the first class c**t that you professed him to be, when on the touchline should he return with another club. I'm starting to feel sneeped..

What has Tony pulis got to do with it? Mark Hughes has been heavily connected, TP can pick up another prem fire fighting job with a hefty avoid relegation bonus in the contract no mither in a couple of month. Mark isn't a 'fire fighter' he's a 'fire lighter' so his chances are slim to none at another prem gig

We don't all know that any more than you knew Hughes had applied for the job tho do we? His last job he was sacked from was Middlesborough, closer to Reading than a lot of clubs current status wise, not a massive drop for him and he must be skint after having to pay Palace nearly Β£4 million in his latest court case. Speaking of Palace, didn't he leave them just 48 hours before their first home game of the season? We'll see if Premier League clubs in trouble come in for him when it happens, I think they might be put off a bit by his conduct with Palace but it seems Tone thinks he was just misunderstood www.theguardian.com/football/2016/nov/28/tony-pulis-crystal-palace-appeal

I must admit... me labelling hughes a specialist in 'fire lighting' is probably a bit wrong, I'd say an 'arsonist' is more appropriate π

That probably has something to do with the fact TP left a legacy for scfc in leaving it in the best shape it had been in for 30+ years and mark 'the arsonist' hughes consumed it to the bare bones then burned it down without planting fresh shoots... apart from KW of course, a player we can really come to appreciate for years to come for the price we paid for him. Mark Hughes was interested in mark hughes and his immediate success wheras TP was interested in the longevity of the club scfc at the top.
