    Dont forget….The deckchairs remain the same irrespective of who is in the dug out, however “ style” as you say could be a good pointer.

    It’s a tad difficult after being here for 48 hours or so. I’m not expecting miracles tbh.

    Hopefully it means he's got no input into anything regarding team selection and tactics.

    Not heard him say that in the two interviews I listened to Si. I heard him say he will be “close to the first team squad” ? Is there another interview?

    I have no idea tbh… …it’s a tad vague, probably deliberately so?

    Yes that’s common practice. In industry it’s called a “ handover “ . I suppose football is no different?

    can not see Rupp sanctioning it if he wasn’t in agreement and happy about it. Any ‘possible’ investment/takeover could fall apart before it is finalised leaving Rupp with the bill for Hughes

    Surely now then he has to back Hughes to the hilt, we’re now in the spotlight with the media, this had potential to go the distance. Alternatively feed him scraps like the previous managers and we become a laughing stock. Rupp gets it in the neck & his investment goes down the drain?

    Is his agreement trying to appease the unrest, look after his investment, plus build the profile to get his asking price? Yeah Hughes is a huge name but surely league 2,his salary will be quite basic, with big bucks for hitting targets?

    12 defeats on the trot chance?

    And a victory now and again during those 12 games would have been an achievement?

    I think that’s his most recent record where he’s been in charge or in co charge

    Perhaps my info is wrong?

    Would you have expected him to do better to merit a job with the first team squad?

    Why would he shit his pants? £4m to him is small change. It’s like me losing a few hundred quid?

    If this goes wrong, he can still right where he is. A thousand or so miles away from the club.
