Hughes SACKED

Gutted tbh because I wanted it to work because he came across as a nice person but sadly that won't work so onto the next messiah

 

Inspiring stuff

 

Sad he's gone, because he's a very likeable chap.

But even I've started to worry, with some of his recent decisions.

He's basically shafted Kelly, i.e. come over as a potential L2 centre half, oh no I want you to play in a three, oh no you're a bit crap at that so out you go.

And poor Tulloch must wonder what day of the week it is. The only one with a semblance of creativity against Walsall, gets us the penalty gets hauled off. Get subbed for the next match, gets on as a sub and then gets subbed. MADNESS!!

Not saying he's a world beater, but just shows Hughes muddled thinking and I think he's glad it's ended.

 

Thoroughly agree.

Only we could have sacked our manager, the day after a very good replacement in Daryl Clarke became unavailable just the day before!!

I don't go along with Pete Wilde or Flynn. But one thing is certain that all the realistic candidates are at other clubs.

I wonder, if we could entice Wellens or even Challinor. I doubt it though.

 

Who’s gonna do all the set piece coaching now that Hodges has gone?

 

Writting was on the wall. Some may say that he needed more time, but in football, when the players have given up on you, which was evident yesterday (an for most of the season) there's no coming back from it.

Naturally, I wish Hughes the best, he wasn't here for the fame, or the money or the glamour, he came because he wanted to get the job done and unfortunately, it didn't.

Next manager has to be attacking minded. The only time that Valley Parade has been a fortress was under McCall, who played attacking football. Park the bus does not work at Valley Parade. If Sparks decides to go for another big name whos reputation revolves around playing boring football that gets the job done (for teams who have lower expectations than Bradford City) then its only gonna end in one way, and thats tears

 

Is that the ex boxer from Sheffield.

 

Thursday looks like a good day your birthday and I'm getting discharged.

 

Agree and we think Bradford City is a poison chalice, the expectations there must be through the roof especially with United back in the Premier League.

 

It's certainly going to be an interesting couple of weeks, never a dull moment at Valley Parade.

 

Well, apart from the dull 90 minutes roughly every fortnight...

 

I don't know - i recall a Rochdale team he was part of playing a decent passing game when they thumped us at VP on their way to promotion - kk

 

A good article in the T&A by Simon Parker summarising Mark Hughes tenure, highlighting how many of us have never got over that substitution and timid surrender at Carlisle

 

You been braking the law again Broncs?
Seriously though, hope the op went well and Kev McDonald's Bradford army give you something to cheer about on Saturday.

 

It wasn’t just the Carlisle moment though was it? There where times after January last season were we should have kicked on and got an automatic spot but we carried on with the tepid football.

 

It's been quoted many times but having got it wrong against Gillingham (although we were a goal in front) he then repeats it and costs us the most important game of the season IMO.

 

Thank you getting myself worked up for nowt as a few on here have said, unfortunately I won't be there Saturday but hopefully penciling the Wrexham game in.

 

The only sad thing is the way this club is currently being run. An absolute shambles. I've nothing personal against Hughes, no one will ever know if he could have turned it around. But he didn't help himself and as i've said before his pathetic approach to the playoffs meant a poor start this season would put added pressure on.
This notion he came out with before the end that he was trying things out with players not used was ludicrous, he'd no need to be experimenting after being here for 100 games, he should have known his style and the players to fit it.
So no sympathy whatsoever from me. My only worry now is the guy hiring and firing managers on a regular basis, lets hope beyond hope this time we actually do some proper due dilligence and not just notice a football legends CV in his spam folder.
Last chance saloon Sparks, FFS get it right this time cos i'm bored of it.

 

This, we don’t normally agree, but you always retain the services of someone known to the players and staff, no matter the business. That’s why. It will depend on the next manager how far that needs to continue.

 

NO THANKS.
