DA Baracus Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) The PCA is a convenient smokescreen for Hughes. At least half the team against Queen's Park will never play for us again. Thomas was out of favour before the playoffs. Hughes just needs to f**k off. Edited May 10, 2022 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He very much seemed like someone who knew he wasn't coming back after full time on Saturday. Perhaps Leicester don't want him playing at such a jobber level as League 1.

Aye I know but Yogi intimated that he'd be looking to make that loan longer. I for one have never known Yogi to talk utter shite... His instagram post makes it pretty clear he's done here.

Chubbychops Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Not a surprise to be fair. He had an absolute stormer against Killie. Saved us from getting beat 7-8 nil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Some supporters' twitter page reckons all players and staff are being called in between tomorrow and Thursday to be told whether they're staying or not. I'd keep; Comrie Edwards Martin Donaldson O'Hara Wighton McCann Thomas Todd Stolarczyk Wouldn't be gutted to see Todorov stay. Obviously there's a mix of contracted/not contracted, and we're 99% likely to see the likes of Thomas leaving, but that's the players I'd want to see next season. The rest (most of whom are gutless shitebags and by Christmas I'll have forgotten they even played for us) can get well and truly fucked.

Ayrfix Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Just a thought regarding Hughes, I think he is contracted for next season? Your board may be trying to negotiate a payoff or maybe can't afford to boot him then get another manager in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Sell McCann and use the money to pay off Yogi. Get El Bak back from Malta. He turned into Gavin Reilly in the Championship but 30 goals from open play last time he was in League One was a handy amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d imagine that anyone employing a manager to fight off a relegation threat would have put a release clause if they went down… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just about every Pars fan hopes there's a relegation clause that means he can be punted, but the Club has been uncomfortably quiet since Saturday. Hughes seems to think he'll be able to take us back up, which might suggest the club didn't give him any clear indication of relegation = finished, and that there's room for negotiation. The thought of him still being here, being able to assemble a squad full of Joe Chalmers and Efe Ambroses fucking petrifies me beyond belief. What also worries me is that the board might feel like sacking their second manager in 6 months is an admission that they've made a right c**t of things this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 One way you could also look at it is that we were 3 points from safety when Grant was sacked (2 when Hughes had his first game in the dugout) with a goal difference of -11 (-12). We finished 4 points from safety, with a goal difference of -17. Hughes failed to keep us up. It should not even be up for debate whether he should stay or go. Remarkably, though, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the club keep him on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I wouldn't second guess our board. They have shown how capable they are of monumental fuk ups. We need to change our playing style if were going to have any hope of competing for League 1 next year. Hughes won't do that. He will play the exact same way that has just seen us relegated. We've already shown that playing Hughes passing pish against a team that finished 4th in League 1, doesn't work. We didn't score in 180 minutes of football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Once a support has turned against a manager, how often does it ever swing back? Very rarely. The board need to factor in the knock on impact of ticket sales etc when making this decision IMO. May be a handsome pay off for the manager but would cost more to keep him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our last season in League One we had such an effective style. Possession didn’t matter, it was all about breaking with pace, stretching teams and just going for it. We scored so many goals from other teams’ corners and throw-ins and every player had a clear, simple job that suited their talents. The Grant/Hughes approach of having a huge but mediocre squad is no use. I think we need at least 3 outfield players that can stamp their superiority on games. Like Dundee a couple of seasons back. Most of the team was on a par with the rest near the top but they had Adam and Cummings, who were a cut above the rest and ultimately made a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 How many players did we end up using this season in total? I'm used to forgetting about players after a few years but I'm sure I'll have forgotten most of that mob by next week. As said previously, there is absolutely no point in keeping Hughes. Would be shocked if even 10% of the support still back him which will make selling STs a non-starter. That being said, the club have shocked me plenty of times recently with their dreadful decision-making, so no one should assume that logic is guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
