Hughes, of course, was not fully to blame for the financial mess we found ourselves in, the board & the then MD were not strong enough in their resolve to Hughes threats of walking away. They must shoulder much if the blame too.
Hughes did, however, choose how to spend the money he was given and 3 year (expensive) deals to ageing players in Bullen, McNamara and McCann turned out to be a bad idea.
I'm not overly fussed about Hughes now and what he says in the press. I just want him on the losing side every time our paths cross.
