    Disappointing - but needed doing unfortunately. I would have loved him to succeed here - I really would.

    I think most fans would.

    It has just become too toxic.

    The one good thing to come out of the defeat at Tranmere.

    TBH I was happy when hughes got appointed. It was the feel good factor we’ve seen in years at city. Sad it all turned to sh!t

    Me too. I feel nothing but sadness. Yes I know he hadn’t adapted to lg2 but our club seems like a graveyard for failed managers.

    The beginning of the end was his pitiful effort in the playoffs, it was always gonna come back and bite him on the arse. And a bizarre attempt to reinvent the wheel from last season when all it needed was a more mobile midfield and a more positive approach.

    It's the right call, but hard to feel anything other than depressed.

    So many questions how the hell has Truman survived? He was sacked, brought in as Adam’s number 2 and now part of another failed coaching staff.

    Not one shred of humility from sparks and Rupp on what’s been another total mess up from them.

    Interesting that Kevin McDonald has been appointed caretaker rather than Trueman, makes me think either he didn't want the job or we've only kept him to keep someone on the bench if McDonald plays. Conspiracy theorists will be busy with this one with McDonald conceding the penalty and them almost looking like he was trying to get sent off.

    I feel like right now about the club. The problems go deeper than the sacking of Hughes but then we've known that for ages now.

    I believe he had the chance to be the next PP and write a new chapter in the clubs history-but has done so for all the wrong reasons. I bet he doesn't go to Carlisle for a day out any time soon.
