Lets give it a rest with the manager out business before one is even appointed. We don't want to be like those idiotic muppet-head Stoke fans camping in their ground's car park with their 'Hughes Out' placards, stupid grins and their 'oh look theres the reporter from Sky News, maybe I'm on TV' blank, gormless, vacant, soulless expressions.
Granted, I'd be pretty miffed if Hughes was appointed as my team's manager but all of this jumping the gun is of no help to anyone.
Its like Steve Kean at Blackburn. He was by no means good but he wasn't the worst, yet he was never going to get anywhere with the attitude of the fans, no matter what he did. Its obvious the owners were at fault there, they appointed him after all. But the manager was made, and will always be, the focal point, which suits owners and chairman down to the ground! When results unsurprisingly didn't go well for their 'supported' manager, their fans weren't smart enough and went with it. Seeing them in the stands with their hateful banners was pathetic. If he proved to be a bad manager after a decent amount of games, then by all means protest but my point is their 'fans' had their minds made up before a ball was even kicked. Now they are a couple more managers down the line, in the same mess, and the owners haven't gone anywhere. Result?
As the essence of what Ferguson said to the Utd fans, whatever your preference, give the new manager a chance before making full judgement.
