Musketeer Gripweed Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 He is a bully and picks on the same players all the time, usually for no apparant reason. He also has his favourites who can do no wrong in his eyes. He made some baffling signings for Falkirk and also let some good players go, Liam Craig springs to mind immediately. Despite all this, if he can go back to the way he started with us, he had some really good contacts and brought some smashing players in (Krul, Stokes, Cregg) until he started over reaching and spent too much wages on the likes of O'Brien, McNamara, McCann which have left the club in a bad way financially. Overall though, I'd say he was a good guy, and could be a good appointment, if he is kept in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundermonkey Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 ICT fans will remember a game were I think Falkirk were 3 up that we eventually lost 4-3. Hughes watched our Aussie goalie chuck the game and took to the radio afterwards to admit "Ah says tae Ricey wi 20 to go that wur gonna lose". Good luck guys.

ICTJohnboy Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Have Caley just made a Booboo with Yogi?? Interesting times. I think we might have. Had we been struggling near the foot of the table with players not applying themselves Yogi Hughes might then have been a good appointment. The situation we are in right now (thanks to our previous management trio) doesn't need a drill sergeant, bossy, bullying type of manager. He's just the wrong kind of guy to handle the bunch of players we have in our squad right now. I hope it will prove to be a good appointment, but If the players don't take to Hughes's management style there could very well be problems ahead.

top six next year Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 My first choice was Hartley, followed by Adams, then Shiels, then Sheerin. I actually thought the board might have appointed Robbo, until the end of the season, at least. John Hughes didn't enter my thinking at all.

MDM Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 No assistant appointed yet: Chairman Kenny Cameron said that Hughes is in the process of selecting an assistant and "has not ruled out choosing someone already at the club". http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25203280 Some interview that was. "Who you bringing in to help?" "Eh, A'll hink aboot it." "Good enough for us, the job's yours." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compliment Sandwich Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Difficult to say whether this will work out or not. Hughes has a good chance to save his managerial career here. Wouldn't have been my first choice and would be surprised if he was ICT's either. That said, Hartley would have been just as big a risk. When Hughes moved from Falkirk to Hibs he was spoken about in the same regard that Hartley is today - young, ambitious, 'playing football the right way' etc. No guarantee Hartley would have been successful - we only have to look at Alan Johnston at Killie to realise that. Perhaps Hughes was the best value for money out of the rest. If Brewster and Shiels were next on the list then I can understand why. Surprised Inverness didn't go in for Ally McCoist. After a good run at The Rangers he would have surely walked away for a crack at managing in the top league... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 To be fair Hartley's job at Alloa has been harder than Johnston's at QoS but I agree, it would have been a risk. A lot of the comments on here are very unfair to Yogi, Hibs fans bad mouthing him for finishing 4th in the SPL rather than 3rd- get real! If people really aren't sure about Hughes then is this not the perfect test of his ability? He's got a job most managers in Scotland would love to come into, but I fear he's damned if he succeeds ("Just succeeding on the back of Butcher's hard work") and damned if he doesn't ("Wasted all the hard work Butcher did").

ICTChris Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Just awful. For the first time ever I'm geniunely convinced we've appointed a dud. I'm sure Hughes is a nice guy but he just doesn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 That's my main hope, that Richie is the assistant, as hinted at above, and he gets appointed at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If I step aside from the football and speak about the people of Inverness, I get the feeling they want a real honest day's shift, they want to roll their sleeves up and are honest people. honestly ... its started already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Wow, this really has happened. I thought a Ross county troll had invaded BBC sources for the LOLZ. RIP Diagonal balls for Foran to knock down and McKay to poke in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleyjaggi Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Whoever came in was going to have a tough job given the position we're at now. It's a strange choice but we'll need to give him a chance. The only positive for me is he may respond well to the pressure of taking over a successful team and knowing this could be his last shot at resurrecting his career. Butcher was in a similar position when he arrived. The last 5 or so years have been a bit of a roller coaster . Coming straight back up after relegation, we dug in and established ourselves in the league. 3 seasons ago though, we were playing the worst football I've ever witnessed in all my years watching ICT and Thistle before them. That was under Butcher, and he got the time, when many wanted him sacked. Every other SPL club would've sacked him, yet the following season and ever since we've been fantastic. Sometimes it just works all of a sudden, and we'll have to hope it works out for Hughes. He'll find it hard to f**k it up with the squad we've got, so next season will be the test, but if he doesn't deliver a cup, Europe or both this season, he'll get pelters probably, but that's football.
