I heard some Sjoke fans on the radio phone-in who were moaning about Hughes spending millions on wasters and ruining their club? Have I heard that before?
We've talked about this before. The arrogant delusion by some owners that the manager whose been absolutely useless elsewhere is suddenly going to transform your loser of a club ot be a winner. Managers do the same with wayward players - we've only ever seen that work with Warnock and Taarabt!
In fairness to Warnock he went all out to get Taarabt (including flying over to Morocco to meet him) and indulged him to a degree that got the maximum out of him that Championship winning season. I will be forever grateful for that season, if only we could relive it.
Agree Warnock did wonders for us in 2 spells and now he is about to take Cardiff up. For me, he was the one that got away. I know we have debated this to death but I reckon we would have had a better season with him in charge. Good luck to NW.
He managed Taarabt brilliantly. No one else in the guy’s career has got that level from him for more than a few games.
Just read that and was about to post the link. Could have almost been written by any one of us. We also have a lot so similarity with Saints too. Both shafted by Grandpa Bad Knees.
Did Hughes have dodgy knees too? We better check the state of our next Managers" knees before signing them
The Swansea v Southampton game Tuesday night promises to be a cracker. Swansea have Stoke final game and I think Southampton have City so really its a big game for Hughes. Personally I would like to see Swansea stay up. I like Carvalhal, seems a decent bloke., plus it might see Charlie back at the Bush, albeit playing for the opposition
