Anyone who thought he was a nice friendly manager hadn't been paying attention. He was a throbber at Blackburn and a throbber at Stoke and a throbber at Southampton. Especially when he was losing. Now I don't mind that to an extent, but if you're going to be a dick you need to back it up with results. He's come in thinking League Two will be a piece of piss and he'll be a hero for fixing the club, and it's not a piece of piss and his ego can't cope. Friendly was probably not the right term thinking about it., but certainly compared to Adams he was saying the right things at the time to lift a deflated team and fanbase. It's been a while but I hope he doesn't show off any more tricks when he's in the dugout. Once / twice was fine but any more and it stinks of ego. I clocked this a few games ago, the first lot of keepy uppy was mildly amusing, he’s done it three or four times since and it’s embarrassing. Made even worse by the fact he’s fucked it up every time. Like some wanker competitive dad.

More rumours about a player leaving on the other board. And this in the last hour, no idea who this guy is
If - and I mean if - all this is true it's a big risk for Hughes. Are we really putting our hope on Oliver, a 57 year old and the Burnley kid? Hilarious.
How Bradford City would that be. Keep a 16 goal man on the bench, dump him down to 4th choice then get rid of him while no fucker can score a goal. You thought this fucking club would have learnt from the Doyle debacle but no, of course we don't.

Derbyshire's the same sort of player as Cook, just older, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him go.
A decent winger and Cook will score shitloads in this division, Doyle all over again.

Thought he was a breath of fresh air when he came, now he just seems like a right miserable fucker. Genuinely believe he's a poor manager. Him and Steve Bruce need some sort of restraining order from management.

Are we officially Hughes out now? Sparks out Never wanted him in the first place but was willing to give him a chance ffs. Starting to wonder why I bothered now as it looks like we’re just wasting more seasons dicking around hoping to hit on a winning formula by dint of pure luck. Poor manager.

Didn't want him, still don't want him, but changing managers every year hasn't worked either so was happy to give him a chance.
Delighted at the result, but it's lucky, nothing more. We shouldn't be going to fucking Stevenage and stealing a win, regardless of how good they are.
Nothing will change until the German Parasite either puts some proper money in or fucks off.

No point thinking of getting rid unless we have a spectacular nosedive in the remainder of the season. Yeah, you get results like yesterday. Like when Swindon got something from nothing that time - comes and goes. It's what we do next that's important for MH. Rupps been here nearly 7 years now. 7. Let that sink in. Most people seem to have forgotten a lot of budget has come from selling those kids to Leeds and Brighton...

Well we're stuck with him until I win the euro millions, speaking of which that draw is shite and massively overrated. Should be nowhere near the big lottery games, taking all that money and not delivering. Fucking useless cunt of a draw. #euromillionsout

Ok I’m full Hughes out now. Will make no difference with Sparks and Rupp in charge but he’s not going to change, the players aren’t going suddenly click in this formation, we’re going nowhere.
His formation and philosophy require attack minded full backs and centre halves who can switch play or pick out a runner. He’s singularly failed with the full backs, and to expect L2 centre halves to be able to compete for balls coming out of the sky AND ping a ball like Pirlo is pure madness.
These players are able to create the kind of flowing one touch move from back to front that this system is absolutely reliant on about once every six to eight games. It’s never going to work. And it should come as no surprise to anyone.
So Hughes out. Just because he’s a shit Ailsa Stewart lookalike who’s brought nothing to the club.
Just a thought - every season, FOUR managers get clubs promoted out of this shitty league. Thats TWELVE managers who have got promoted since we dropped into this division (at end of this season).
So the next time a gomper says “wElL cHaNGiNg mANaGERs dOeSnT wORk”. Say this: It does if you pick the right fucking manager.

Up early and looked though his record. In nearly 12 months since he took over he's played 23 at home, 7 last season, 16 this one.
W8 D8 L7.
This season weve lost 4 of 16 at home. Scored 20, 9 in front of the Kop.
Five 0-0s this season, two at home.
When we beat Sutton we were 4th, 2 points behind Northampton who we lost to a week later.
After Sutton it was 33pts from 18. Since Sutton it's 15pts from 12.
In reality we are probably an upper-mid table side who are still in it somewhat because of that run of away wins last year.
They're not going to get rid of MH this season but if things don't change we're going to gradually descend further down the table. And if it doesn't change at home who wants to come back and watch even more next season?
Home games are just not enjoyable. Even when we win like on Tuesday, yeah, 3 points are 3 points but it's a painful watch and for trying to gain new fans in particular not doing anything to attract them.

I just want to watch an entertaining game for 90 minutes. I don't expect Premiership levels of skill but some goalmouth action and shots that are on target are pretty much pre requites for that entertainment. We had yet another 17,000 attendance yesterday yet we serve them up that.

We had yet another 17,000 attendance yesterday yet we serve them up that. It was me that tweeted about taking my daughter and seeing nothing to get excited about. She's not bothered about the table or other results, just something that's a bit positive and exciting. And it doesn't even need to be for all 90 mins, I'd take a couple of players with a bit of trickery who can give you that. 600+ passes with nothing created again is just crap. I may as well let her watch PL games on TV as we offer almost nothing to make games enjoyable.

Hughes Out, Evans In. He’d more likely take us up, and the meltdown would be glorious.

So the next time a gomper says “wElL cHaNGiNg mANaGERs dOeSnT wORk”. Say this: It does if you pick the right fucking manager. We've since hired two of those twelve- BowyerS and Adams- and look at how that ended. Nothing will change unless and until the German parasite either puts some proper money in or fucks off.
