To be fair the whole of twitter thought something might happen on monday, and it doesn't take a genius to suggest that something might have happened the first weekday following that Southampton performance.
I don't know why are you blaming secret for. You knew the news weren't official. It's your fault for believing that they're 1000% true.
maybe Hughes was kept on for another game because even if we had got a new manager in this week he was going to lose at Old Trafford We want a new manager to get off to a winning start if possible
Yeh, maybe we're saving the "new manager effect" for a more winnable game. That said, we've got sunderland on tuesday...so they better get it done PDQ after the final whistle on saturday.
Apparently Hughes was asked to resign by Beard with a generous pay-off. They had 'Arry lined up and ready to take over but Hughes refused. He wanted the full pay out. Only ay QPR eh? For further info see Acton Hoops thread.
Mate, you have hit it on the head .................. reward your self immediately with a pint of ale.
