NO, really really bad haircut! tsalking about bad haircuts from the 90s, mark hughes is being mentioned as Sven's successor: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2008/06/02/ufnhughes102.xml To be fair though, he has also been linked with the Chelsea job as well. I think With Thaksin in charge of City and the team he's got at Blackburn, IMO at this moment in time, Hughes would be crazy to leave Euwood Park for Manchester! In my eyes that's a step down.

In my eyes that's a step down. agree, but it seems toxin is prepared to spend big, and hughes feels he has reached his potential at b/burn. zico also being mentioned. What happened to Grant? he'd still be the best of the realistic choices, IMO. although any manager with any sense would fear working for the Toxic Avenger. they also mention allegations that siddy are signing Jo. a good call IMO, as would be Wagner Love.

zeusbheld Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 having a Nike guy has its benefits. little ronaldo wouldn't have been a serious option without a Nike guy in the mix, id' imagine. Hughes HAS done an ace job at Blackburn this year, i'd prefer him to Zico, but if Siddy are signing a half dozen samba boys then a manager who speaks portoguese is a plus. incidentally, in my Football Manager 2008 game as siddy, i too signed a crapload of brazilians. won lots of pots and pans, siddy should hire *me*.

BREAKING NEWS: BLACKBURN GIVE CITY PERMISSION TO SPEAK WITH HUGHES http://www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10303~1322185,00.html It shows you what I know about football, just heard it also on BBC radio. I understand the history and bigger fan base at City, Hughes seems to me the kind of man who is his own boss. I honestly had him pegged as a future replacement for Fergie! This is a hard one to judge, Sven really is a class-act and the way he has been treated must surely raise a warning flag to all prospective managers.

zeusbheld Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hughes' tenure at siddy will tell whether toxie's gonna calm down a bit and get the hang of owning a football team (remember, romie was a loose cannon when he first took over the chelseviks). i can see why toxie's potential for volatility doesn't faze hughes, given that sir alex won't be in the dugout too many more years and so hughes may have the opportunity (and desire) to cross town. but if hughes has a decent season and the toxic avenger sends him packing, good luck to him in finding another quality manager who's willing to put up with his tantrums.

zeusbheld Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 but if hughes has a decent season and the toxic avenger sends him packing, good luck to him in finding another quality manager who's willing to put up with his tantrums. I couldn't imagine for an instant that any manager who wants any kind of autonomy in his decisions or thinks about anything other than his paypacket would take this job on. Hughes isn't Sven, I reckon 2 months before he's up for assault. i think toxin meddles less with the details of the footy than romie did/does. mainly because he knows less. the impression i get from the press and the rumor mill is that toxie just throws tantrums and fires people who don't win the prem on their first try. romie does that too but difference being he starts with a team that CAN win the prem on their first try. i think it's worth giving hughes the benefit of the doubt. he's done impressively at blackburn. he may turn out to be quite competent. and sven did a great job and shouldn't have been sacked but still,he's not exactly gus hiddink is he.

Disagree. Honours alone at various clubs Sven is 20 compared to Hiddink's 12. Sven has won League titles in 3 different countries compared to hiddink's titles with PSV in Holland. The only thing Hiddink is up on, is one champions league win compared to Sven being runner-up. Apart from that, in European club football achievement, managerial honours and experience, IMO Sven is far superior to Gus Hiddink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 This is worth a read. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1024257/EXCLUSIVE-Dr-Thaksin-gives-Sportsmail-amazing-insight-Man-City-dream.html Thaksin gives an interview to the Daily mail today. Is it just spin by an acute ex-politician? Seems to be making all the right noises though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
