Stoke 8th on 42 points.....

[Deleted member 26]

Remember when Hughes was linked with us ? The majority of us didn't want him near the club IIRC.
Doing a great job.....

 

[Randy Ostrich]

I didn't and thought O'Neill was right at the time.

Hughes does bring certain agents mind, I think that put a fair few of our principled members off

 

[bunnyrabbit]

42 points with 10 games to go.
Wish that was us.

 

[Flash Gordon]

I wanted him ahead of O'Neill. Not only did I get stick at the time, but people also kept bumping the thread when MON was having his great initial spell to give me further grief.

We'd have still been shite under Hughes as well mind...

 

[PhilSAFC]

Sickening.

 

[spoony]

Shite man, they lost to us!

 

[Richie K]

I wanted him....solid manager, proven back room staff and scouting connections.

True. It probably doesn't matter who it is.

 

[hoof ball]

Most of that is thanks to Pulis which built a good squad defensively.

 

[Tokyo Optician]

Bardsley not good enough for us though.

 

[Scootsie]

He's doing a canny job but I still think the bloke's a dick.

 

[Dexter]

Should have appointed him instead of that dinosaur O'Neill.

 

[Roker Mackem]

he would be shite here

 

[Anthony From Blue]

This thread looks great with hindsight but he was shocking at QPR, so not many in the league would have been willing to give him a chance at the time. He was lucky

 

[Iceman97]

he would've been sacked by now if he'd came here.

 

[Keyboard Solo]

They've done brilliantly to be fair. Just shows that you don't need a big name manager to be successful

 

[Rizla]

He took over a solid team, it wasn't as though they were in crisis when he took over. He has added one or two decent players and got them playing better football.

If he had come to Sunderland it would have been a completely different situation and there is no guarantee it would have worked out. He messed up big time at QPR let's not forget.

 

[Kenna]

At the time his track record was absolutelly awful, yeah he's came good at Stoke but doesn't mean we were wrong to say he was shit.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

They've been very impressive this season, played some good stuff

FFS, It was Swansea last week.
