Has he had many coaching positions in the past? I remember him mainly for his co commentary on Football Italia with Peter Brackley in the good old days on Channel 4 Player-manager at QPR. Managed Fulham when Keegan was director of football. He's worked as a coach under Vialli at both Chelsea and Watford. Was Dennis Wise's assistant at Millwall and Peter Taylor's assistant with the England U-21s. And then he's been assistant to Scolari, Hiddink and Ancelotti back at Chelsea. That looks a pretty solid cv.

Wilkins has a huge depth in knowledge of the game and also has good Euro contacts and influences. Probs too costly.

You left Drogba as cap innit?

highton ? why bring nolans assistant into this ? :colo:

Think all three should get permanent ip bans.

Good and measured approach. He talks too much sense...Too much sense!!11 He'll make Peace in the Middle East. After he's finished with third world hunger apparently.

Mark Hughes is poor. He won't do well with a team like Fulham who play football, unless he would have had much better players than he currently he does, like what he had at Man City. To do well with this sort of mid table side he needs his bullies to push people around and kick a few lumps out of them. See my post above.

Agreed. Still think Zamora makes all the difference to them.

Bellamy has it spot on - Man City overload the midfield. That's why Jo is in the side. When Tevez rotates into mf, Jo moves in - into that space. If i was Hughes I'd just say go out and kick the shit out of them.

Hopefully they go down. Would love Dempsey here. Bring back Nobby anarl and create some sort of Jazz/Rap hybrid band. Tiote on the steel drums. Didn't know he was from the carribean.

Fulham seem to be running at half speed.

Erm, Moyes has already played him on the left a lot and he was total rubbish.

Fulham will win. Mancini will be right on the edge then.

Because he has a very low center of gravity?

The way Adebayor lopes around anyone would think he's already conquered the world of football.

Milner Yaya De Jong Barry Silva Tevez Is what is really going on.

He plays too many def players at home. It's ridiculous.

I can only see one winnable game in the next 6.

Was discussing this yesterday, it's a major problem both on and off the pitch. Definately something he needs to sort out. Could perhaps be to do with the departure of the iron fist No.2? The manager should be the authority figure, with the deputy as the go-between. Yeah but we both know he has his own style which is more to do with listening to and keeping a close bond with his players. An approach which has served him well most of the time.

That's true, but clubs and managers should always say they are in the transfer market if the right deal comes along to improve the squad. Standing still should never be an option. I don't doubt we are keeping tabs on many players as we have been quite good at stealing bargains/loans/end of contract/ forgot to fax contract/ been overheard whinning in a bar type deals.

It's getting cold so Collo probably fancies a sunny break in Spain.

Tbf to CH there are many man mamagement reasons to be saying that, along with the fact that he has probs been told there is no money. One disadvantage CH has is that his contract is nearly up and MA woudn't think twice about getting rid of him, hence he can't fight for more money either.

Embarrassing. So lets disregard our positive performances/results, because clearly the negative ones are a far better indicator of our potential as a side this season under Hughton yeah? For no reason other than you being afraid that thats the case. You couldnt be further from levelheaded atall. If you can look at our results (especially our home results - which is mostly what JH posted) without being genuinely worried about going down, you either aren't a fan, or you aren't sane. Apparently disregarding negative performances is alright, but disregarding positive ones is just about the most insane thing you can do. Change the f***ing record man. Today was a brutal punsihment of the short comings of our squad. We lack depth, but then what promoted side doesn't? Without Tiote and Barton we were left with a limited midfield which got completely over run and throughly outplayed by an in form Premier League outfit, it was a bad day at the office. The most important thing is we show something in the way of s responce against Chelsea. As far as the home form is concerned, we've struggled to break sides down but every man and his dog predicted that would be the case without a creative midfielder. While the Blackpool performance was completely unacceptable people seem to have forgotten Blackburn, Stoke and Fulham are established Premier League sides. While they have less quality in their squads than some the way they set up makes it more difficult for promoted, almost naive sides such as ourselves to turn them over. I honestly think we're more suited to playing likes of Everton, Spurs and Villa who will come out and have a go. We've just come up, we'll hit form in dribs and drabs, we'll suffer hidings like today and it will be incredibly frustrating. However I'm still confident we'll pick up enough points to survive relegation come the end of the season. Today was nothing at all to do with the manager? f*** me. Hughton didn't help himself but his hands were tied to an extent. Personally I'd of gone for Guthrie in the middle and Routledge out wide but other than that it was about as good as we could of hoped for. It was suicidal to play Smith, Nolan and Guthrie in the same side but he obviously feels Routledge isn't up to it. Guthrie on the right didn't work last year in the Championship so he bought Routledge & improved the situation. I can see absolutely no reason for Guthrie on the right to be the better option of the two against even better players in the Premier League, particularly when it's been obvious every time he's tried it this year as well. Hughton's limited in the changes he can make by our squad, but the fact he refuses to make even the most obvious ones which are actually available is fucking infuriating. It's a wierd one this Guthrie on the right lark.
