Mark Hughes to Cardiff

The same person who started the nonsense putting it to bed

 

Nah, Leicester will sack Rodgers and he’ll go to Cardiff.

 

He won’t but Leicester will sack him.

 

Backtracking quicker than @Sergio Pinto III

 

"His name was mentioned at board level" really meant nothing to begin with.

They might have mentioned 20 names, but they're quickly going to whittle them down anyway.

Mark Hughes isn't going anywhere this season, and I doubt he'll consider leaving next season either. He'll take us as far as he can, which is probably the Championship.

 

I hope you are right JB but like you I can’t see him going there at all.

 

Sparky was out of work for a long time. Can anyone see a Championship side chasing him after five league 2 victories?

Its absolute nonsense. If he takes us up there could be a few looking on at him but he hasnt done anything in the game for years which is why he is at League 2.

 

Spot on Kev. I believe he commutes from home in Cheshire to us. He couldn’t do that with Cardiff. At 58 why swop home for flat/ hotel living when on top of all you can prove you can do a job anyway. With better prospects of success than a club that’s in a spot of bother and a hire and fire owner.

 

All of that plus he strikes me as a man with a fair bit of integrity about him. He's said himself that nobody was interested in hiring him for years, then he approached us and we've not only given him a chance, we've welcomed him with open arms and taken him to our hearts. I don't think that's something he'll turn his back on lightly, because I genuinely believe he is truly grateful for the opportunity he's been given here and is relishing it.

 

I did it for 6-8 months , worked in London, family back in Bradford. Hotel life is pretty damn awful and lonely, no matter what the quality.

 

Rodger’s is third or fourth highest paid PL manager at £10 million a year. Rumour Foxes can’t afford a pay off and if they did he wouldn’t go somewhere in a rush.

 

How do we have better prospects of success? Come on!!

 

Cardiff relegation fodder and us on the way up. Simple enough?

 

I don't see much risk of him leaving at the moment, championship clubs had the chance to get him when he was a free agent so they won't go for him now that they'll have to pay compensation. Also he's not really achieved anything with us as it stands that will get him noticed by other clubs that he hadn't done before.

 

Cardiff own their training facilities maybe.

 

Cardiff won’t go down and we might not go up.

So, it’s not simple enough at all.

They have more fans than us, own more than us, have more money than us.

Please stop with the biased comments.

 

Unless he needs the money then I cannot see him going anywhere yet .......... he’s at a club in the up a fan base that bloody love him so why walk away from that ????? Cardiff fans probably crave the PLand that looks miles away at the moment so it’s only a matter of time before they turn ............. distance etc is another factor ............I would be more worried if any of the east lancs club or even Wrexham came sniffing

 

He talked about having success not more money or fans.

Be honest Fordy what is more likely if you are a neutral Bradford going up or Cardiff going up?

In theory we could win our league and the pizza trophy that’s two medals, in the league Cardiff are in they’ll probably end around 12th.

For a manager who’s won silverware all his life as a player but not a manager, who’s a multi millionaire and doesn’t need to worry about his next pay cheque which is more appealing?

We may not win anything, it’s competitive sport but I think everyone will agree we have more chance of winning something this season than Cardiff. Absolutely nothing biased about it.

 

I believe he commented in an early interview he'd wanted to get back into the game for the Saturday buzz which he was missing and money was not a factor.
I'm with @Petrov I believe coming to Valley Parade and seeing what it means to us Bradford City fans has shown him the potencial going forward if he can bring success to our club, you can see in his interviews he's enjoying his time here, long may it continue.

 

At moment they may have more fans but that will continue to drop the longer they stay in that league and considering the gap in clubs what betting both averages ain’t far off each other this season .................
