Craig 6284 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I quite like Hughes. Which is strange seeing as he was an absolute cunt as a player. Oh well. Agreed, I couldn't stand him as a player. Might have had something to do with where he mainly plied his trade.... Agree though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I thought he was a quality player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I didn't think he was a cunt as a player. I didnt think he was a particularly good one either like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Wales were never the same after he left - but if i am right in thinking their decline coincided with gary speeds international retirement which is in turn spookily coincidental as we never looked as good in midfield after we fucked him off either I think he knew when it was the right time to get out of the Wales job, which isn't a bad quality in a manager I suppose.

manc-mag 1 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 scored some cracking goals tbf aye just not enough of a matchwinner for me, for someone is such an advanced role. a "scorer of great goals, not a great goal scorer" etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I think Hughes would be a decent replacement ...... At least he doesn't constantly chew like a cow and sit in the stands until half-time like Allardfyce did and that's a plus. What he'd be like at knocking us into shape is anyone's guess. As a player he was miles ahead of Allardyce, maybe as a manager too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 All of the top managers in the prem were supremely average players. It's a hallmark of a good manager in some ways I spose, if you're not gifted with as much natural ability as others then you're forced to study the game more.

You'd have to be retarded not to in fact. It's a known fact that the best players don't always make the best managers regardless of their exposure to and experience in the game. Ones that quickly spring to mind are Billy Wright(some of you young'uns won't know who he was like), Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and even Wor Jackie didn't cut the mustard in management.

manc-mag 1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Aye Bobby Charlton is the example I would have cited tbh. Personally delighted he amounted to nowt in the dugout tbh, as I find his utter rejection of the north east a fucking disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add to that Michael Carrick who Alan Oliver, to this day keeps quoting as a local lad, despite the fact he chose West fucking Ham, then Spurs over us when Fat Fred kept begging him to come home.

I just don't get it with BC, seeing as he's had exactly the same upbringing as Jack and Jack is so obviously proud of his roots. Fair do's Bobby had a great playing career with ManUre so he's going to feel an affinity with Manchester, but it's not as if Jack played his career in the Leeds Sunday League. He had a great career in an excellent Leeds team, yet somehow unlike Bobby he is still able to remember where he's from. Fucking can't stand him or his fucking ludicrous Whip-over hairdo (as was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8936 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 the opposite is also true, in that quite average footballers, some who never make it at the top level at all, make out standing managers. ... actually, I'd be massively surprised if this wasn't the original post and the following "good players don't always make good managers" was a response to it... so I should really just shut up and get back to Daywatch.. a Russian film that is fucking dubbed instead of having subtitles as I'd hoped..
