How's the team doing over in Canada, River Still ahead, hang on a moment, :blink: (shakes head)
Mark Hughes for me was a fine striker and one of the best leading marksmen of the late 1980s and early 1990s, I mean the guy played in a few cup finals from 1985 right through to Blackburns recent league cup final victory over the Spurs, and Barcelona must have had a tasty partnership when he played upfront with Lineker for a short spell.
Who can forget that last minute strike against Joe Royles Oldham that saved United hides and was the springboard for the Double that year.
all very well singing praises and giving Hughes superlatives for his playing abilities, but as mentioned here; I don't think he quite cuts it as manager.
Nobody can say for sure where MCFC will finish this season, there's been a lot of debate about final standings, I feel between 6th and 10th in a more realistic possiblity, sure, they have plenty of strikers but who's going to keep the goals out, the Lescott, will he, won't he, still hangs in the air and right now despite Moyes saying with authority that there will be no selling, who's to say that Joleon may be with someone else sooner or later. To avoid argument here, I don't think, or even, I hope he does not leave but we will just have to see.
As for City, it kinds of hacks me off that a genuinely mediocre side of many years whose moments of greatness, are few and far between should be taken over by some moneybags and after thirty-five years in the wilderness now see fit to flash their green at all and sundry in an effort towards greater things.
Fair play to them to some degree, the club has been in the shadow of its much more distinguished neighbors for as long as I remember, and you would think after all that time, any long standing supporters are entitled to a little cheer or their moment in the sun.
Just how long that, or Hughes will last for is open to deabte. Going to be Interesting.
