Before today's game I was still positive we would get out of this mess but now that has totally disappeared, I seriously think we are done for and are going down this season. Maybe we need to accept that and try to secure the future of this club instead of going for broke and ending up like another Portsmouth which I am seriously concerned about now.
I certainly would NOT sack Hughes. Why should he walk away with £12 million, or whatever it is, to pay up his contract. If it means stripping certain roles in the club down to bare bones and making him work 24/7 doing those jobs to 'earn' his money then so be it, but don't let him get away with it. Get him selling tickets, mowing the pitch, working on the turnstiles, whatever it takes, just don't let him near the team again.
Put everyone but a select few up for sale in the slim hope that someone will come in for them in January. I think the shocking transfer policy has got us where we are. I really feel for Tony Fernandes, he has put everything into this and has been let down by the Manager and Players. Let's look at our squad:
1. Green - Waste of space, only here for the money. Will anyone take him in January, probably not.
2. Diakite - I like him as a player but I think he is one we can cash in on.
3. Traore - I wouldn't have said get rid a month ago but I think he should be sold in January
4. Derry - Part of spirit of our last two seasons. KEEP HIM
5. Ferdinand - I actually think he cares but time to let him go aswell.
6. Hill - Same as Derry. KEEP HIM
7. Park - Get rid, good thing is I think he has value because of the Asia following, so should be able to offload.
8. Johnson - Stuck with him at least until next season.
9. Cisse - I loved him last season but has lost interest, I think we still might get a fee from Europe for him though.
10. Taarabt - I adore him as a player and he has actually improved his all round game, fighting for the team. Our best player and only one who definitely has a good sell on value. I think we have to cash in on him as unfair to ask him to play Championship again, he has moved on and is too good for that.
11. Wright Phillips - Same as Green.
12. Mackie - He has to be kept, we will need his spirit next season. KEEP HIM.
14. Granero - Has been excellent overall but like Taarabt we need to cash in on him.
15. Onuoha - Has not worked out for him here. Sell him.
17. Nelsen - Worryingly our best defender at 35. KEEP HIM.
18. Dyer - I like him as a player but we all know his injury problems so time to let go.
19. Bosingwa - I cannot stand him. I can accept poor ability but not lack of desire or fight. Doubt anyone would be stupid enough to come in for him.
22. Ephraim - Not good enough for Premiership but decent Championship squad player. KEEP HIM.
23. Hoilett - Not really turned out to be player we all hoped. Sell him.
24. Cerny - What happened to him? Is he injured? Time to let him go.
25. Zamora - I liked him last season but that opinion has changed. Let him go to Brighton, only club he actually wants to play for.
26. Murphy - Stuck with him, but luckily probably not on that high wages.
27. Harriman - Bring him in now for Bosingwa.
28. Ehmer - Might aswell bring him in too for experience.
29. Doughty - As above.
30. Sutherland - As above.
32. Faurlin - Something not right with him under Hughes, I don't think it is the injury. KEEP HIM.
33. Cesar - Good but not as good as I had hoped. Sell him in January as probably on stupid money.
40. Mbia - He said himself he doesn't really want to leave France. Another mercenary to sell in Jan.
The heart and soul has been ripped out of the team. The likes of Derry and Hill being dropped. And probably most importantly letting Helguson leave and replacing him with Johnson is probably one of the biggest mistakes Hughes made.
