We took a chance on Moyes because he had experience of PNE and getting them to a whisker of promotion.
The first box that gets ticked imo should be the one marked 'managerial experience'.
Agree. Then on interview/ psychometric tests and so on.

Tbh i think i would rather have hughes than benitez or lennon, that's how much i don't want the second too.
I think I'd rather pick a manager who has no experience in the prem than one who's a known failure in it.
See Benitez and Ancelotti as other examples of men who managed to transfer success in a non english league to the prem. Or for that matter see Ferguson or Moyes.
lads ffs the money moyes was on we could afford a top notch manager FFS!!
*remembers who our chairman is and slits wrists!
His yearly wages would pay Kenny Dallgish for 9 months and Harry Redknapp for 10. Can't argue with that,

It's going to cost us a few million to buy someone out of their contract (hence Hughes being mentioned).
Again, they'd already have lots of experience and won trophies in europe.
Everyone's going on about Pereira. But its based on what? Being a poor man's AVB?
We have no chance with Klopp.
There seems to be a lot of flash in the pan names getting thrown about. Laudrup, effin Malky Makay....jesus wept.
I agree about Pereira, for the record. But you were using ramos, who won trophies in europe, as an example of why picking up someone who had success in one league doesn't mean they can do it in another. Walter Smith would be another example, who also had success in europe, but couldn't cut it in england.
And, fair enough it's a risk, but I'd rather take a risk than sure failiure which is what I think hughes, Oneill, etc are. We know how they fare in the prem and it's struggling.
12 best paid manager in the world wasnt he?
£4m a year

Could somebody give me a reason why the majority of fans are so against Mark Hughes?? Personally, I think he fits the bill.
