Hughes has ONE more game to save his job (Mirror)

Some very very good points Del that show exactly why Redknapp is not the answer.

Who are you to tell me what statement I can and cannot make?

Do you honestly believe we won't win a game before Christmas?

TF has backed him week after week, has said it's a long term project countless times, invested millions in Hughes, Hughes' backroom staff , Hughes' squad and bought into Hughes' plans for the club.

TF is almost in a position where he can't sack him.

We won't go down, we'll scrape enough points together and will stumble through the season, but Hughes won't go.

OK, I will rephrase. You are entitled to make that statement, no matter how deluded it is. If he has won no games by Christmas he WILL be sacked. End of story. TF is not an idiot, luckily. Do you honestly beleive that if we have won no games he won't be sacked before his THIRD window?

To answer your 2nd question - I think we will win games before Xmas, hence my last comment. I wan't him to turn it round. What I am saying is that there is a limit. I would never have thought we would be this far into the season without a win. There are 9 games until Xmas. We haven't managed a win in 9 so far this season, so it isn't impossible.

If I were MH I would play to our strengths, why should I ask my attackers/wingers to defend and loose more energy in tasks not theirs?? he should tell them to stay only on the other half of the field, they will keep the opposite team busy defending , they are all technical gifted and they would keep the ball and passing it between them and creating more chances to score. I hate managers that fear to loose and they know they will loose anyways if they just defend. let hoilet taarabt and cisse always up the field , let ganero faurlin and diakite in the middle and defenders in their places, after all thats their job TO DEFEND. Im sick of his tactics. be brave once in your life damniiit and give it a go in all games home and away, you faking already tried your sick approach over half season last year and now 10 matches and didnt work why the hell you insist of that sterile approach??????? give it a damn gooooooooooo , attack attack attack if we loose at least we try I dnt give #### we loose 5-4 or 6-1 and win 6-5 at least better that loosing 1-0 or wining a scrappy odd rare 1-0.

IF true, Hughes can count himself lucky. I knew it wasn't right after Norwich, Swansea could be seen as a one off

TF said on Sky Sports that this story was rubbish! He believes Hughes is one of the best managers in the Premier League and is fully behind him.

On what basis would he believe that though mate?

No wins in 9 games and rock bottom?

Not a single away win in 16 games?

His previous "successes" as a manager, when he won what exactly?

I applaud his faith and commitment, but it needs to be repaid.

1 cup... same as Harry who many blindly believe is some management messiah.

[Gtleighsr3]

Just think last 2 windows we have been the busiest,with Harry on board they might as well send all the reporters just to Harlington last day of window.

Hughes doesnt seem to inspire the players into decent displays, doesnt know his best team,doesnt know his best formation and very rarely gets his tactics right yet TF bigs him up as "one of the best managers in the league". What exactly does he base this on? Think he meant "one of the best contracts in the league"
