So who will replace Hughes?

[Fulham_Adam]

If he goes, I have a bad feeling it's likely, who would you want to replace him?

Personally I think Jol and McLaren are good managers but i'd still not be as confident with them in charge as I would with Hughes. If he does leave we should aim high and the name that would stand out for me would be Martin O'Neill- he is the only man available who I would have complete confidence in taking us forward (although his attitude on Europe would need to change).

If Hughes does go I hope the decision is made quickly because the last thing we want is another late managerial arrival.

Has he gone?  I don't think so.  He's still our manager, so I'll stick with him, thanks.

[Fulham_Adam]

I really hope he stays but I can't see it. We should have tied him down months ago.
The big worry is he'll go to Villa and want to buy the likes of Hangeland and Bobby :|

[The Equalizer]

I think it will be Hughes.

[FulhamMic]

Jol or Eriksson.

Both in my opinion are much better managers than Hughes anyway, and were way higher up my list of preferred candidates before we appointed Hughes last summer.

I'm in the Hughes camp as well.

Sports a much better CV than Hughes, the most successful England manager of recent times and has shown with Notts County and Leicester he isn't just a mercenary out for money.

The England players rated him highly, as did the Man City fans (Save our Sven ring any bells?)

[TonyGilroy]

Sven's CV prior to getting the England job was superb but it's been diminishing returns ever since. Plus he allowed himself to become a figure of fun.

So who will replace Hughes?

I think Senderos could probably do the job, with Baird and Briggs as backup.
However, I would rather Aaron stays for another couple of seasons.   080.gif

It's the British media that turned him into a figure of fun, not Sven, given the amount of money the FA had to pay him in severance. But they offered him the contract in the first place, and they were the ones looking to remove him from his position, so they have no one to blame but themselves.

Sven had a great record at Man City before the Thai owner started interfering, the results speak for themselves.

I am not Sven's biggest fan, but he became a media punchbag (as every England manager does) and subsequently people decided he was a joke.

In light of the other managers who have followed him, maybe he should get more respect than he does.

+ 2 to AFC's commentary as well.

I think I would rather have O'Neill first, then Jol, then Sven. Jol however is probably a non-starter given last summer.

I'd fear for Sven  :033: . The LOVELY Sarah Brookes??? . The very horrible and up herself Mrs Brookes from my personal experiance of her.

1st choice) Mark Hughes.

If he goes than Jol
