"So one of the first questions I asked of the Coates family at Stoke was: 'Are you going to stick around?' They said yes and that's a real attraction for me. The stability of the club and the people I know who are involved are reassuring. I work best under those circumstances. My intention, for my own sanity, is to repair my reputation at Stoke City and stay here for as long as I can." Fine words, but will those parsnips be buttered? www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/may/30/mark-hughes-stoke-city-qpr |

I think it's safe to say he will walk before he's sacked. Whether its in 1 year to come or 10, we'll have to wait and see.

And this for me is the issue. If he does well he will move on in a year or so because he thinks he's a big name who can do better than a team like stoke; if goes wrong because he's shit he will take a multi-million pound pay off, blame somebody else and look for the next mugs. No, I don't think Hughes is in for the long haul.

No, I don't think Hughes is in for the long haul. Harry I think he is, he knows he needs to sort out his rep with what happened at QPR and we're the perfect club for him as it stands, if he was to swan off after one decent season I can't see it helping his career in the long term. |

I would like to think he was, but how many managers or players commit to a club nowadays? If Hughes gives us 3 good years and improves our profile, that will do me. Fair play to Tone; he did give us stability and loyalty. Whatever you think of his tactics his heart was in the right place. |

But realistically where is he going to go, couldn't see any of the top 6 going for him (Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Spurs, Liverpool (technically 7th this season I know!). Everton going with Martinez. We are as good as anything that's left really, Villa and Newcastle got more potential for sure but who else in the division can you say is an out and out clearly better position than manager of Stoke?
Now if one of the top teams comes in for him that means he has performed well above expectation for us, so although we would be sad at the time, we would know it would be inevitable and we would have all benefitted.

Has Mark Hughes signed up to Stoke purely to drive around? I have seen him twice driving around the Newcastle area over the weekend and have come into work today to be told by two other colleagues that they saw him driving around Trentham & Stafford over the weekend.
How much work is he actually doing?!?....

It's not as if your body rejects a plate full sending them out like a bottom machine gun peppering your pan with yellow bullets. |

Butter won't work on leeks, I generally call a plumber.
