Paddy power on talksport says he understands the thai owners are negoating with mark hughes

[cc_star]

His win ratio at QPR is pretty similar to Redknapp's, who most would say is a good manager.

Hughes 23.5 %

Redknapp 23.8 %

His win ratio at Fulham is around 32% while Jol's is around 37 %.

By way of comparison, O'Neill's win ratio at Leicester was around 37.5 %.

Not convincing stats?

Christ no! Please not anyone mentioned so far, Hughes among them

Bookies tips are notoriously bad as are odds, which are nothing to do with anything other than bookies covering their interests.

[Buzzell]

For a manager that has managed in the prem?

Were not in the Prem though, are we

[Stinkenzo]

I'd take him

Got a decent record in the Prem, no worse than what we've got.

We're not in the Prem though, I don't see him getting us out of this league.

[Spiritwalker]

I certainly won't be renewing my bronze membership if this is true.

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

Keeps getting jobs on name alone, spent a lot everywhere he has been and been bang average.

[Libertine Dream]

A manager only spends what the board give him to spend. If the board let him spend the money he will, if they don't then be can't

[Haydos]

It's going to be right laugh for those that want rid when we get someone as underwhelming as this in.

[Buzzell]

how will he spend an absolute fortune? the ffp kicks in next season.

Surely keeping Pearson in, who knows the players, laid down the foundations here, would be a better option then to spend a fortune to get an Ex Prem manager with no experience in this division in?

[Deucalion]

The bookies must be laughing at all the money they are making on a market which doesn't actually exist!

[Mack]

I certainly won't be renewing my bronze membership if this is true.

Dont panic! They're doing a PAP membership for next season.

It even has a '**** it I'm not going any more and want my £2.50 back' clause built in

[i luv u foxes]

Spot on

[Happy Fox]

Probably the only thing going for him.

If he was to come I can see the same scenario to Sven. Spend an absolute fortune, big wage budget ect.

Hope he proves me wrong if he was to come.

His record at Blackburn

2004 season - 15th place

2005 season -6th place

2006 season - 10th place

2007 season - 7th place

At Manchester City

2008 season - 10th place

Fulham

2010 season - 8th place

His record I would say isn't bad in the prem. Managers can afford a poor season like Holloway etc it doesn't make them bad managers if the Thais are thinking long term then Hughes isn't a bad shout I am aware he hasn't managed at this level but all it takes is the right application to succeed.

[Bluetintedspecs]

Now this is what I love about Foxes Talk, it's better than SSN on Transfer Deadline day

[harpendenfox]

Strange. Deafening clamour for a sacking, but no clear view on who should be his replacenent. The only name that unites us is MON, but then many worry about tarnishing his legacy.

[Corky]

Was great at Blackburn, did well at Fulham, very poor at Man City and QPR.

Not sure about him.

[Bettsj2]

Oh yes.

[Tielemans63]

Never back a bookies tip.

That was exactly my first thought. When representatives from the bookies go on TV or radio they always have an ulterior motive. I've worked at a bookies and trust me, they'll happily shit all over anyone.

This is the point and this is why (although I won't be surprised if he gets the boot this week) I want us to wait until the end of the season.

[acooling08]

Doubt this is true.

Will be really really annoyed if this happens though, I've never liked Hughes.

I can see where your coming from.

But then you look at Sven before he came here. Managed England and did reasonably well with Man City? I just don't think he'd be the ideal man to take us up.

If he was to become our next manager, I would support him and hopefully he would prove me wrong.

[cc_star]

MARK HUGES OUT!!!!!

too soon? course not... this is city we're talking about

[whoareyaaa]

Would rather keep Pearson than this pile of shit.

Sven managed one domestic club for one season in England (Manchester City) prior to joining us so the likelihood of him flopping would of occurred and it did. Hughes has more experience at club level (Blackburn, QPR, Fulham and Manchester City) so would be a better proposition.

He knows the English game is my point, managing at championship should be a doddle for Hughes if he has the right application.

[Tielemans63]

I'm sure those who want Pearson out on the basis that he's arrogant, aloof and not very media friendly will be delighted to hear about this potential appointment.

[cc_star]

If he does come, is he eligible to play up front instead of Wood?
