How come our managers leave at will then? There would be nothing stopping Everton adding the money to his salary there anyway.

Surely if he wanted to go to Everton he could have just resigned?

I’d be happy if the team pulled out, we’re **** anyway.

If Hughes keeps us up he will have done a very good job so I expect he will be kept on. Don't really see the logic is sacking someone who's doing a very good job.

If we hired Silva you would get the same ****-heads on here moaning that we hired someone who took Hull down.

Potter - do You really think that is less risky and realistic considering we need someone now and he already has a job? If he did fancy throwing his career away for an 8 game relegation battle, is getting a manager with zero Premier League experience a good idea considering we need results straight away? He has done great in Sweden but throwing him into this season’s cluster-**** hoping he will instantly make an impact would be way way more risky than Hughes.

Who?

Deluded idiots like you deserve relegation.

What a pussy.

We’re aiming to stay up, that’s all that matters at this point in time.

Who would you have then?

Exactly. This place is full of delusional idiots.

We all knew we would be looking at bargain basement options given our position, I don’t get why some are so against Hughes - who exactly were they expecting? We will probably go down regardless of who we hire even if we improve, we can only attract managers who won’t mind having Relegation on their CV, that’s the situation we are in.

Whoever we get will divide opinion. Who gives a ****e what some reporter thinks, I rate journos opinions about as highly as ****ed bloke down pub. Having the ability to write stories doesn’t mean you have any special knowledge of football.

Have you been in a coma or something? Take a look at the league table, we’re not aiming for Europe.

Long term I would tend to agree but can't see him walking into the current sh!t storm and stop us getting relegated.

And they flogged their top scorer, which in their position was suicidal.

Hughes’ record at Stoke wasn’t too bad, as a short term fix he could be what we need. Not sure why some on here seem to think we are in a position to pick and choose our ideal manager, there is going to be a limit to who we can attract.

I’d be happy with Hughes. It’s a fire-fighting job until the end of the season, you need someone with experience and stature who knows the Prem IMO.

I would get Strachan in just for the hell of it. Give him another crack at the FA Cup.

Thank **** for that!

They do appear to have an over inflated opinion on how good the squad is though, it wouldn’t surprise me if they thought they could muddle through until the summer and still survive. Josh Sim’s amazingly arrogant “we’re too good to go down” interview the other day showed how deluded they are.

It’s hard to think of any logical reason why they would relegate the club on purpose, the drop in income is so great it makes no sense financially. We have one of the most expensive squads outside the top 6 so could be in big trouble. I suppose in theory if the players have relegation clauses and take a big wage cut Gao could trouser a decent amount of transfer cash and leave us with the youth team in the Championship, then syphen off the parachute money like the skates owner. Still not sure it adds up tho.

I think they probably have someone lined up for the summer and took a gamble on Pellegrino being able to do enough to keep this squad up. That would explain why they have only spent a fraction of the VVD money, they are saving it for the new guy.

We’ve left it too late to get anyone like Silva, only people interested will be on the managerial scrap heap. **** it, just get Strachan back, at least we will go down with a fight and have a day out at Wembley with ginger wigs.
