[Archived] Mark Hughes - Good Choice ?

[gumboots]

Agreed and much nicer looking for your money too. It used to be good enough for Rovers players a few years back.

[philipl]

oops!

Rijkard is out of Barcelona so one of Sparky's old clubs is looking for a Manager.

Both Barca and Real Madrid have made unlikelier appointments in the past.

[T4E]

Pep Guardiola will be taking over at Barca, and has been nailed on for it for several months. There's nothing to fear from them.

[tonygreenbank]

I have great respect for Hughesy but £6m for the legoland house is ridiculous. What on earth possessed you Sparky to live there! I used to live in Fenis cowles which was the area for the Rovers players and it looked better than that. Agree with above come and live in the Ribble Valley where Roque lives I believe - a man of taste!

[roversmum]

In a Rovers World interview Benni is threatening to buy a local house!

Personally I prefer the house that all the fuss is about - the one Carrick is hoping to build and Sparky is complaining about:

[bobsterbrfc]

all i felt after reading that article is that football is the most corrupted institution out there given where it started. by nature it should be a socialist sport, all you need is a ball, gets very hard to throw your full support behind such hard pressed flowers

[roversmum]

Hhm; the plot thickens! I am told the picture I posted could be Sparky's house!

This is the house from the article in the telegraph........from the link posted by American Rover

i will ask on here as eddie is ignoring the question on the brum thread....

do you still want ********** idiot hughes as manager or not if not who????????????

[gumboots]

Personally I'd rather have mark Hughes than any other manager i can think of who might be likely to come to us. Yes, he makes mistakes, yes his team selections are sometimes odd or appear so to us, yes, he's still learning his trade. However, I think he suits us as he doesn't live in dreamland like some managers and some of our fans seem to. He gets on with his job and doesn't whinge most of the time. He has the respect of the players and seems to have the sometimes oversized egos largely under control. He's brought through 2 players to England call ups who were nowhere near England quality at the time they joined us and his transfer dealings have been amazing in terms of the quality of player we have seen at ewood for the amount we have spent.

don't suppose eddie will agree though!

I've tried to find it on rightmove - could it possibly be this one?

There are some trophies in a cabinet in there.

Don't think thats it - it mentions that it was bought 6 years ago, a previous link posted said that Sparky had lived in his house for 15 years.

Yes, I do. I think Hughes is doing a great job in the transfer market, but the rest I'm not too impressed with. I don't like him nearly as much as most on here do, but I certainly wouldn't get rid of him at this moment in time. I would think about it if he failed to address some things in the summer and if we got off to a bad start whilst playing the horrible football we've seen for most of this season.

[John]

For those who need their fix of Sparky, he is on Sky Sports One just now as a pundit in the studio (he seems to be doing more pundit work recently on tv).

Real Madrid are playing Levante (will be an end of season celebration for Real, as last home match and they have won the title).

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Wonder is Sparky invites the locals round for a five a side in his Kitchen ffs!!

[philipl]

Imagine facing all that white the morning after the night before.....

I was reaching for an aspirin just looking at that picture after a long day on the go.

Can'rt be sparky's kitchen can it? I'd have thought he'd have more taste than have a white kitchen.

[bennyboyt11]

maybe if he used some blue paint in there aswell i would have been impressed

[AggyBlue]

Wouldn't that be Mrs Sparky's choice of colour scheme. After all it's her room.

Eddie I do believe you have missed the most important part of abbys question. Who would you replace him with?

7th Place and you want to sack him, close enough anyways, bit silly really.

[ABBEY]

dont waste energy asking him,he wont say who.

[Eddie]

I don't know who I'd replace him with. I don't know who is free and who would be interested. It's very difficult to know with managers. If it were my job I'd have a list of names, as it is, and as none of our opinions matter, I have simply expressed my opinion on the season.

Wasn`t quite the word i was thinking of.....

[philipl]

Ferguson points towards Queiroz as his successor

Whilst the Torygraph has a lead story and comment on why Hughes is best bet for Chelsea. The reality is he would be the most sensible choice but I don't think Kenyon and Abramovich are doing sensible at the moment.

Hughes would be seen as a speculative appointment by Chelsea, and he'd be a fool not to take it if offered. But why would the richest club on the planet need to speculate?

If he doesn't care about Rovers and they offer us a sum that only Abramovich can conceive of, then alright.

Otherwise Chelsea can go [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity] [insert extreme obscenity].
