Plaudits to Seven Sisters contributor Mr. David Tonks, who is in (electronic) print on this blog as having predicted that Mark Hughes would be sacked by Christmas. In response to a post of mine in which I criticised Hughes, Dave said the following:
I think Hughes will be gone by Christmas and someone of greater ability will take over.
Hughes has indeed been sacked, though only just by Christmas. Regardless of what we might think of the decision (I think it is a correct footballing decision, because I don’t rate Hughes, but I’m not sure if his actual managerial performance this season merits it, as City have only lost twice), it might be interesting to consider what this will mean for City’s season.
Interestingly, I responded to Dave’s prediction in my subsequent comment, as follows:
Dave, Man City may actually have a better season if they sack Hughes by Christmas. They do need a bigger name manager to manager their big name players.
What do we think? Can Mancini, an Italian with no Premiership experience, turn things around for City?
