Mark Hughes - NEW POLL

Absolutely guarantee you if we are not losing play off finalists at the very least then he won't be here next season. As for whose next ............. Emma Hayes wouldn't be a bad call if someone really wanted to try a female manager.

 

He will be gone by Christmas if we are not in the top 10
As for who takes over that's the million dollar question

 

I dont see us being that trigger happy with him. Think he sees out of the season unless relegation is a threat!

 

Maybe Darren Moore if he is out of work but not sure L2 is his calling.

 

If his name wasn't Mark Hughes would you still think the same
Like your Darren Moore post is L2 really his calling not sure it is
I hope we are top 3 by Christmas and all this is pointless it will be interesting

 

It’s going to be a tough league this year so I will cut him some slack if he ditches the terrible playing out from the back and possession for possession sake tactics.

 

Sorry UG, if that mouthy woman ever comes near VP, that's me done!
Women for the womens game for me.

 

He won't !!!

 

What has she said that has rattled you?

 

Never stops yappin' Onside.
Just don't think that a woman manager/coach in the mens game will ever work. Can't see the male players having any respect for a female coach - just wouldn't work for me.
Sorry, my opinion that's all!

 

It will depend on who is available. If I owned Bradford City I'd have sacked Hughes the day after the second-leg Carlisle defeat. Then I would have made the Cowleys my number one target. They're still out of work. Whether they will be if and when Hughes is dismissed remains to be seen.

 

Well that is fair enough, that is your view and I am all for free speech. I am not sure I agree with you though. Although I think women have always had to do twice as much to prove they are worthy. I don’t know the woman so can’t comment on her directly and I don’t watch women’s football unless it is international as I find boring and slow.
However I do have reservations about a female manager, she would need exceptional communication and leadership skills to be able interact and engage with the players and that might take too long if it happens at all. However, what I might like is a woman in and executive role who can challenge strategies and offer advice on tactics and recruitment. As for “yappin” give me a break It is well known scientific fact that women use language more than men to communicate.

 

Probably not - but I say this because his pay out wont be cheap, he aint working for peanuts and if he isnt top 10 by Xmas isnt the end of the world - he might be 11th and only a few points off the play offs.

 

Sorry mate it has to be promotion for me by any means or he's out come next May let's seeing us go at teams from the first game of the season, if we have to be a little more defensive against teams then possession football will be more acceptable.

 

Female manager? Christ, some of the dinosaurs at VP have a hissy fit when a female ref or assistant runs the line at VP

 

Emma Hayes wants equal pay in football - basically her Chelsea women should be earning £200k a week - in her mind.

 

The thread is a bit pointless now. After the Carlisle game was the time to fire him but clearly he’s here for another year at least.

he’s been involved in recruitment, has just sat through the fans forum. He’s going nowhere.

 

Good point Onside. Here's an interesting bit of info that you probably didn't know regarding your username . If there are 2 or more opposition players between the attacking player receiving the ball and the goal line, then the player is deemed to be Onside.............




.....Only kidding

 

No issues from me with women in powerful football positions like CEO, or on the training pitch coaching, medical room, as refs and lines women.

Manager though? Not sure I am in favour of that currently. Id prefer another club to try it first and if said woman was successful in the mans game then wouldn't be against it down the line. Be a huge shift and a huge risk at this stage. Gotta have the qualifications and experience at mens football level.
