They're one of the biggest clubs in the country and have been top 6-7 consistently since the turn of the century. This season doesn't change that. It's not the no brainer people are making out. Spot on. Everton went into this season spending £27million on a forward. We appear to think spending 27p is pushing the boat out. Yea, and that said forward really is pulling up tree's int he? Ridiculous comment i must say! You and the likes of Shiek and onlooker do my head in over our transfer policy, perhaps you would have felt better if we had paid 28 million for Bojan.

So if we had spent £27 million on a misfiring forward then all would be well.

I think he will definitely leave us in the Summer for Everton. I also think the Coates Family are going to find God, and realise gambling is bad and just stop Bet 365 and become bankrupt, thus leaving Stoke in deep shit. I think we are facing 4 or 5 successive relegations and the Blue Square league beckons. I also think a huge sink hole will swallow the Brit, and we will have to ground share with Newcastle Town who by then will be owned by an Oligarch from Chesterton, and will be playing in front of 80,000 fans week in and week out.

Can't see Everton playing a part in Sparky's future. I think he probably realises that he has to win something with Stoke or make a CL qualification first before another big opportunity arises. The reality is, he inherited a decent set of players and has so far done very well. But to underpin the improvement we probably need something in the trophy room or the recognition that comes with a top 4 slot.
It may not be inconceivable that his long term future will be with us. Seems like it's a happy marriage right now and heading in the right direction.

If they did come calling he'd be mad not to consider it.
Bigger club, bigger budget, slightly stronger squad.
Unfortunately for them they're not Stoke City so he'd turn them down on that basis.

Where me be in Everton of Stoke.
Why the question.
Mark and the team have had the problems at QPR Mark and the team "IN THE MEDIA" -
"Oh this is him last chance, stoke on Trent, it's last chance saloon for sparkle"
NO ITS NOT
HOWEVER
He will want to leave something at stoke, he will want to leave having done summat, he is still building and trasbforining here
So the answer is
NO AND BO NO

Good question I think.
You have to face facts in that Everton are traditionally a bigger club than us and probably will be again. On the other hand Hughes has a good thing here.
I think that he would stay. Hughes strikes me as a fairly cautious manager and will go for the bird in the hand. I know he was tempted before but that was an undeniable step up whereas the Everton job, at the moment, is only potentially better than the one he has now; and in the immediate future possibly worse.

Unnecessary response by a few, to a perfectly fair question imo.
Anyway, my personal opinion would be that we would be ok as it stands, but I'd definitely be worried if they came knocking. Yeah, they're struggling this season, but they are a massive club with massive potential. It isn't just as simple as looking at the league table. We just aren't on their level in terms of stature.

For me it depends on what backing he's going to get from the Coates family in the transfer market and this summer will tell us all what we need to know.Hopefully he signs that contract and gets full financial backing from the hierarchy but i have some niggling doubts

No he wouldn't go because he is already at a top club and is WANTED

Hughes is relatively young for a manager and must be still ambitious to manage at the highest level he can. I am sure he also hankers after a crack at Europe.Everton would be an option I am sure he would consider, bigger club, regularly in Europe, decent location for him and a chairman who is not trigger happy. Another option might be abroad as a new challenge I am sure he would have lots of admirers.Coates I am sure would want him to stay for at least another 3 years but they will have to match his ambition. Has he signed the contract yet?

If in the future, and I can't see it being anytime soon, the club most likely to want him is Man united.

After their recent experience with Moyes, I can't see Man Untied, or any of the top six looking at a British manager. It's just too parochial and not sexy enough. It's like others have stated: the main interest in the future would be from the likes of Newcastle, Everton or Aston Villa. At the moment they would be a sideways move at best, but they are all traditionally bigger clubs than Stoke. Unless, of course, Hughes sees it as his mission to make us a bigger club. And amen to that!

Think Moyes will be back at Everton before the end of the year.
Reckon Hughes will either get frustrated and leave or sacked in a couple of years and go to somewhere like Leeds after they have been bankrolled by a rich Arab/Russian/Yank
There doesn't seem to be many managers who are at a club more than 3-4 years these days.

He'd be a fool to join them. We're not far off as a club and on the up.
They're in decline and constantly in Liverpools shadow.
Also not sure that their squad is better than ours.

Think you would have to say that they are .... and probably always will be... a "bigger" club than SCFC. The simple fact that they have the ability to spend over 20 million on one single player backs that up. I think the original question and post is quite interesting.... IF they did come after Sparky in the near future it would certainly give an indication of SCFC's ambition .... never mind what Hughes thought.

Yeah they spent that much on one player but over the past 5 or 6 seasons prior to this one they've made more through selling players than what they've spent on buying them. We on the other hand have pretty much broken even this season and last whilst spending a lot more than what we received in the seasons prior to that. They spent that much on a player but they also received more from the Fellaini sale. We spent 18m just for Crouch.

Oh hello, who the eff are you?
Hughes in the past has left clubs due to lack of ambition. How long do you think he will put up with free transfers and bargain basements, especially as the previous manager was bank rolled to high heaven? The club are in a perfect position to again push on - will the board match the managers ambition or will they risk losing him?
It seems as though you can't get over the fact that we are doing far better under someone who is not Tony Pulis. More points, more goals, higher finishes, more AMBITION away from home, better football. You're secretly hoping that the club push Hughes away in some forlorn hope that Pulis will end up back at Stoke. That would be DESTABALISATION of the highest order.
I was wrong about Pulis twice 1. he would never get us up - about 99% of us were wrong about that, and 2. he wouldn't get another PL job - that did surprise me. Everything else I was bang on the money about.
I suggest you jog on and go back to gazing lovingly at your Tony Pulis poster.

OK you're a bit dim so I'll spell it out for you in one word. AMBITION. I though ambition was filling the corners in Just because we haven't spent on transfer fees doesn't mean we haven't spent millions this season, signing on fees and higher wages (usually) for players on a free have been where we have spent the money, not over inflated transfer fees, and I honestly don't mind it continuing, even more so if we continue to improve as we have been. Edit, you don't give the club shit for not spending money on transfer fees = you must hate we are doing well, what utter horse shit.
