Hi DR Yes, you are right that Hughes wasn't our first choice and was talked into the job (though I have to admit that I had forgotten that history). I cannot accept that MAF has not put appropriate resources into the club. Last time I looked he was into us for £190m++ (significantly more than the total market value of the asset). In light of UEFA new rules, even were we to qualify in future, we would not be allowed to compete with the level of trading losses requiring such a level of continuing subsidy.
