A spectacularly poor decision, and there are lots to choose from.

Best wishes to the "Berlin Wall". He will be a success in whatever he chooses to do, and rightly so. Great player for us and showed that German people DO have a sense of humour!!  |

One of Hughes worst decisions. Along with Glen Johnson and letting Bardsley go the man was an absolute weapon of a manager. |

Letting Huth go seems daft now but at the time he’d suffered a string of knee injuries and was struggling to get back. I don’t think it was Hughes not liking him but the signing of Wolscheid as his replacement didn’t help. Looking at his playing stats he played almost half of his career games at Stoke. In hind sight it seems Bonkers that he arrived in the shadow of the Rock the City Signing of Tuncay.

Let’s not rewrite history, he was a great player for Stoke but letting him go was followed by our greatest team performances in recent times. Wollscheid was a decent replacement but god forbid a bloke run’s funny in Stoke.
Are people seriously suggesting Stoke would win the league if he had stayed?

There were rumours that Huth threatened Hughes and that was the reason he was let go, I honestly have no idea if there was any truth in that but letting him go permanently to Leicester after he had proved his fitness during his loan period, then compounding it by signing the helpless Wolly after his poor loan period was insane management by Hughes. |

Quality or attitude? I saw Wolly put in some decent performances but as we’ve seen his heart wasn’t in football, weird circumstances and mighty fall from the lofty heights of the premier league! |

That on field meltdown was it against Sunderland was the strangest thing I have ever seen on a football pitch, then backed it up one of the very worst performances I have witnessed against Blackburn, blaming everyone else for his mistakes I am sure he was unhinged. |

Got to be Hughes worst decision in my mind even a half fit Huth was better than Wollscheid.
Shawcross was never quite the same either they complimented each other.

All people are saying he was allegedly surplus to requirements here and left ,helped stabilize a football team and went on to be a massive part of that team that won the premier league title. He should of never been allowed to leave but just as board did in letting Hughes bring in Berazero,Imbullshit and Wimmper they backed his decision. |

I still chuckle at this, sorting out some punk from lowly Wolverhampton Wanderers. Asmir Begovic behind them and Steven N'Zonzi just in front, that diamond was the rock on which we stood.  |

Leicester had better players all over the pitch than us, not just Huth. Wolly was a far better centre back than he gets credit for. |

Surprising the rights and wrongs of Huths departure have never been discussed on here before really.

HoHum He also galvanised them and kept them up when he joined. Yep, this was the worst bit for me we'd battered them at home, about 25 efforts to their 1 and they won 1-0, spawny gits. If Huth hadn't gone there on loan they would have been relegated, now look at them 😡 |

It was a dreadful decision with hindsight. However, in Hughes' defence wasn't there a fairly large consensus amongst fans that Huth was injured, not playing games regularly and unlikely to be what he was before the injury? It doesn't make it right but I don't recall loads of uproar at the time. Maybe I'm mistaken.

It doesn't make it right but I don't recall loads of uproar at the time. Maybe I'm mistaken. Also he hadn't started well under Hughes and had looked uncomfortable with the change in style. He was a cracking player for us but the facts are we finished higher in the league without him than with him. Not suggesting there's a correlation, but the weeping and wailing was way overstated. The decline set in a good couple of years after he'd stopped being a regular for us. |

Looking back, the main consensus was for him to get fit with Leicester on loan and come back the next season oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/239997/huth-leicester |

When Wollscheid retired from professional football in an interview he said....."The football business in general is simply wrong. One day you will be praised by everyone to the sky, the next you are not good enough anymore. I have never been able to endure these ups and downs." ......so he read the Oatcake then  |
