Hughes is a useless manager! I can't work out how he's always in the frame for jobs!

How can they even think about getting Hughes. He's bloody useless.
I will wedge on Stoke to be relegated if they appoint Hughes.

Strangely, I think he might do a good job there. His best spell as a club manager was when he managed Blackburn and got them in the top 6 a couple of times by making them quite physical but also getting them to pass the ball and use orthodox wingers. I think the Stoke board have probably identified him as someone who won't take an axe to their team, but will get them to use wingers more and just refine their style of play a bit. If he gets the job, I'd be very surprised if he went out and had a major spending spree in the summer as I would imagine privately he has learnt his lesson from where he went wrong with QPR last summer.

The thing is, Hughes with no big budget at Fulham and Blackburn was OK. It is when he has money to spend that he tends to be a bit rubbish.

Mark Hughes is a terrible manager. With or without money.
Stoke are welcome to him!
Stoke are welcome to him!
When stoke said they wanted a change of direction I didn't realise they meant down.

So that's Chelsea, City, Newcastle, Fulham and now Stoke apparently sorted for a manager. Just Everton left, with Poyet drifting out to 20-1 at best.
If one of these vacancies was the reason for his outburst, smacks of poor judgement.
