That's how I would describe MH as he stares into the unknown with his hands in his pockets or his arms folded with a pony poker face! on my way back home yesterday after yet another defeat I found myself asking qustions in my head. Can he turn it around? NO!! Why not, we got a good squad? He ain't gotta clue how to win games, True! so where's the problem? His team selections and tactics, YES! are the players playing for him NO! WHY? Half the squad on £20-£25k and the other on £50k at a guess, yeah that could cause a problem with certain squad members, however I think it's deeper than that. MH is like a spoilt kid in a toy shop, daddy (TF) I want that, and that and that and that! now MH has a room full of toys and dosen't know which one to play with first! MH ask's himself does this Roman Centurian fly my space ship, lets see he says to himself, So he puts the centurian in charge of the spaceship and it crashed on the first attempt, Hmmm...maybe not he sighs! let's try Robin hood, the same thing happens! after days of tinkering, with most of he's toys now broken or abandoned he concludes he should have bought an astronaught to fly his now Broken spaceship (QPR) With out an astronaught (leader) the spaceship will never fly! one of many, many mistakes he has made! will daddy smack his spoilt son for wasting his money on buying the wrong combination of toys or will he give him more money to put right his wrongs, just to save face? or will Daddy (TF) put him in a dark room and lock the door and look for MR RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He looks like a dead man walking, the mega defensive playing not to lose mirrored the past managers who were on the edge of being sacked.
Thanks very much for the tip Eddie - I just put $5 on Alien Planet @ 50/1. Like Blonde Snapper, is this another one of those designated wide runners starting in traps 5 & 6? I believe this a knock-out elimination contest building up to the 2013 Derby finale? Has Blonde Snapper been put out to a well deserved pasture?
Interesting OP, good questions asked. TF is like Wilde in the Cadogan Hotel, he doesn't know what to do so he may end up doing nothing.
I think TF is fully aware of the ludicrous situation we had under the goons where we had two defeats and you're out. But I do believe that his patience is not endless, he'll judge when the time is right to let Hughes go if it comes to that. Personally I don't think that day is too far away!
Agree. It makes him look bad if he has to sack him, so that is my worry, if it has to happen it'll be too late.
Agreed, TF has made a rod for his own back! however he WILL tin-tac MH if we are in the same boat at the end of November, FACT!!
You dont pay off his staff, you keep them and then mutually agree to cancel the contract if Hughes finds another job.
