Greatness_Since_1884 Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 As has been mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if this is designed to encourage a load of bets on Hughes rather than giving inside info. Anyway, why would he encourage people to bet on Hughes if all it means is that they have to pay out to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 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. Notts county.

MrSpaM Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 As much as i think this would be a pretty dubious derision, the people saying he'd end up spending loads of money should have a listen to the interview with Sven stringer did a few weeks back. Our owners decide the fee's and wages, not the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 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. I know, people questioned his man-management skills and soon after called for Di Canio to replace him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 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. Quite possibly it could go either way with "Sparkey". I doubt that the Thais will make the same mistake of giving him cash aplenty to splash about though like they foolishly did with Sven and hopefully they've learnt their lesson on that one now. If they employed Pearson to not only get us up but to cut the wage bill accordingly into the bargain then I don't think the Thais will be going back down that "spend at all costs to get us up" road again like they did with Sven. If Hughes was being viewed as a summer time target to succeed Pearson (should we fail in whatever way to achieve our goals this season and Pearson is then held accountable for that), then he'd be a decent enough acquasition, despite his chequered managerial career to date. It's just that some managers seem to fit their managerial roles at certain clubs like a glove if the board take to them - like he did at Blackburn and Man City = that being before he got unfairly ousted at City by the Arabs of course. Not quite sure why he left Fulham in the manner that he did but we all know that it just didn't happen for him at QPR. A bit of a gamble maybe but we'll just have to see what happens with the present lot..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 Most overrated manager in the country, how much money did he spend at both QPR & Man City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox in the sox Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 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. Spot on. In fact he probably knows it wont be Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 I'd rather offer Pearson 10 years than have this shite excuse of a manager anywhere near us. Seriously this would be on a par with Dowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grewks Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 The Thai's should be aware of how simple this is.. Bring in Di Matteo, O'Neill or Mcdermott. Otherwise keep NP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiritwalker Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 Mark Hughes used to be a member of the far right Welsh Nationalists who burned second houses belonging to the English, and I for one do not want him anywhere near our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishOxide Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 I hope this wakes people up and makes them realise there really is no-one better than Pearson realistically available. Yep. Get behind him, lets hope our form turns around in the mean time. O'Neill and Di Matteo are not realistic appointments. Nobody else excites me, so in that case we should keep Pearson, hope we come out of this run of form and emerge stronger for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 How do you define better surely anyone that has managed in the prem is better than dear NFP? Or for that matter has achieved promotion from this division I despair I really do if NP stays we can do so much better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 2 April 2013 Share Posted 2 April 2013 Is Hughes really that bad? I rate him the same level as Bruce, and he's done ok at this level. Not saying I want him but think there's been some over exaggeration in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
