    For me yes he has and still is doing a brilliant job. Last season was a revelation. Vast improvement on the football style, entertainment. Oh and I actually stay awake when SKY interview Sparky. He is honest, up front and you know what your getting. I watched his career and he was one of the best and if not Welsh would certainly have gotten into the England team no problem. If I had to give him Marks out of ten I would say a good 8 so far.

    A bit hit and miss so far this seaon but, IN HUGHES I trust.

    By the way Jono, best of luck for the season <ok>

    A great goalscorer...pity he cannot find one.
    I acknowledge what Potts has said, but I am not a member of his fan club

    Whiney little gog (Welsh slang for North Walian - not particularly unpleasant but not complimentary).

    Doesn't like being shown up - had a go at Monk who has not been censured by the FA for describing Moses, 'a cheat' - suggests the FA agrees.

    Hughes will do OK for you for a while but will soon come out with the usual platitudes when things aren't going his way. If he had anything about him Man U would have brought him back into their family.

    Doubt and question are different things.

    I doubt TP's suitablity based on his inability to improve our pitch prescence and brand even though he had spent over 100 million.

    I question Hughes's decissions and squad slection, but find it difficult to criticise since he has had next to no money and is working with the legacy of TP's ageing and underperforming squad.

    To date I am more than happy, even if I feel we could do better. We are a better team, have had better results and have added more quality whilst improving our financial position.

    Hi Queenslander
    Can not really add too much other than what Smither's has said. Apart from I have very happy with M.H. What happened elsewhere happened. So far he has, as Smither's said. Improved our football, our squad and many fans around me are well happy with how things are progressing.

    Thats fair enough lads. If he's improved your style and performances then thats all you can ask for.
    I think the difrence for us is that he had to start from scratch and bring in a whole new team, wherea you guys are alreay a decnt established Prem team with players that ave been around the prem for 7 or so years. He's only had to tinke with your style and seems to have ben kept awy from the cash.

    He justs seemed out of his depth for us and no-one could ever make any sense of his team selections. Also his personality and arrogance really grates. its like talking to a wet dishcloth.

    Anyway, like you say, that was all before your time and if he's doing the bis for you, then good luck.

    See you again soon guys <ok>
