22 May 2013 12:09:37 Hi all, first post in the Stoke section as I am a Liverpool fan. I went on a family trip the other day, and got told by my girlfriend's brother in law that he saw Mark Hughes arrive and leave Peter Coates's house. He has been doing some landscaping work around the area. He told me this on Friday, and low and behold Tony Pulis left a few days after. I don't know if this was just an interview, but I put £30 on it at 7/1.
This sounds like one of those rubbish stories, but it would be pointless for me to do it as a Liverpool fan. Only telling you what I have been told.

Get rid of Tony Pulis and end up with Mark Hughes. I hear it's nail on. Hope you guys are happy. Well done. Who told you metalhead? No one has told him anything. He's just gutted his mate has left.

If it is to be Hughes its already A done deal so why the delay in announcement
Maybe waiting on assistant ie: Neville
Or he is second choice behind RM or raffa waiting to hear after Wigan meeting or from America
If he is not appointed by end of tomorrow I would suggest he won't be as I can't see any reason to delay the announcement if he is first choice

Hughes, I don't see the point. Letting TP go was surely about replacing with better.
No ta.

Get rid of Tony Pulis and end up with Mark Hughes. I hear it's nail on. Hope you guys are happy. Well done. Who told you metalhead? Heard from a friend fairly close to the club this morning that Hughes has been contacted regarding the job and that the board want to get a manager in before next week. He isn't the only person been contacted though, I'll mention that. There have been a few phone calls made, and Hughes is definitely one of them. No one has told him anything. He's just gutted his mate has left. My mate? Where have you been for the last 12 months eh? I've been just as critical as everyone else regarding Pulis. I'm gutted he's gone but perhaps it's sentimental more than anything else. The difference between you and I, is that I'm realistic. I don't expect Rafa Benitez, or Jose Mourinho, but for fuck sake, Mark Hughes? You want Mark Hughes? We can do better than that. Where did you hear this metalhead? He's not really very vibrant is he? As above, from a friend close to the club. He insisted the club didn't want to hang about and would be looking to get someone at the latest by next week. It's obviously a rumour at the moment, but it sends shivers up my spine!

Jeez. I know there is allsorts of rumours flying around. I just get an uneasy feeling on this one. I can see Coatsey going for him.

We should also remember the Scottish Cup final is not until Sunday.
If there's still no news on an appointment by late Thursday/early Friday - my money is going on that crazy bastard from the north.

Champions league football and a guaranteed title every year for at least the next 3 years, by default of rangers he will go down as their greatest manager he ain't going go nowhere he's got it far too easy

Hughes is one of probably 4 or 5 on a shortlist, nothing more, nothing less.
Hughes has plenty going for him as a manager that tp did not. If u nerd these reasons explaining think of the ressons pulis had people moaning about.
I think we'll get Martinez with neville as a number 2/defensive coach

QPR aside is Hughes that bad? I couldn't stand his moaning and whinging on MOTD but his PL record is better than Pulis'. Not particularly young or vibrant but we COULD do worse. He'd be way down my pecking order but are we being rather unfavourable because he's a whinging bastard?

PC wants Hughes
The others are more keen on a younger man.
They will try to get Martinez, Poyet, RDM
if not PC may get his way

OK, admittedly, I've probably jumped the gun a bit with the term 'nailed on'. I'm just irritated at the thought. Hughes was the only manager mentioned in the message. I asked if he knew of any others and he said, there HAS been other contact but no names, so perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel. He could be out and out bullshitting for all I know, but he's never let me down before and he's been spot on in the past. I'm not one to come on here and spout rumours usually, but when Hughes name popped up on my phone screen, I nearly threw up.

Makes no sense whatsover to offer the job to Hughes and in all honesty if he was to be installed I'd be pretty pissed off as IMO Pulis is a better manager and I wanted him gone.
Surely Coates has more sense than to employ the likes of Hughes, MON, Lennon, it's got to be Rafa or bust.

Pulis is a better manager than Hughes. Imagine Hughes without his playing pedigree, he'd have nowhere near the resume of Pulis.

As much as Hughes made a right royal fuck up at QPR, and as much as i don't like him. His league records at Fulham and Blackburn suggest that his teams, on similar budgets, get more points and score more goals than Pulis' Stoke. He managed 4 top ten and above finishes with them! and got past 50 points a few times.

He inherited a Hodgson team at Fulham, Woy's teams run themselves. Look at the ease in which Clarke has kept WBA ticking.
