The BELEAGUERED Carlisle Utd Thread

[EnglishRed]

I like Hughes as a person, but I can't see this being a good appointment for either party.

Time will tell.

The fake rivalry aside, I genuinely hope for your sake that this doesn’t turn out the way it looks so blindingly obvious it will having had Hughes here. Horses for courses, get in a short term lower league manager with an experience of fighting to stay up, a L2 Allardyce, Hughes IMO is certainly not that man.
Hoping to not sound sarcastic but to me it’s a bonkers appointment given his tactics, nonchalance and ego when surely what you needed was someone who’s been there and done it. The bloke managed 400/500 Premier League games, wow you think that must carry across, there must be something that sets him apart, a superior knowledge to lowly football league managers, but no. Try and keep the ball is priority over a need to get forward and get a goal, generally in areas that don’t harm the opposition.
Will obviously keep a keen eye on how things pan out but I can’t say he is someone I would’ve wanted had it been the other way round or having seen how he was as our manager. I wonder if Harry Lewis will get a look in now.

This club may suit Hughes so will have to see his management was at its best when he used to be in the ‘against the odds’ type top flight manager doing better with poor average clubs.

Once in came to big budgets and higher expectations he’s failed, maybe the last gasp nothing to lose against the wall with little expectations may work for him

In the grand scheme of what was likely available to them at this point, that’s a pretty good appointment I reckon.

How many fans do you think you will bring from BP to BP Saturday ?

Would you want him at Notts? I wouldnt, he's left every club in as crap a position as when he started. Wales, Stoke, Southampton, Man City, Blackburn , Bradford. No success anywhere and always dull football.

Good luck to Carlisle , hope he keeps you up but looking from afar it looks like you've got invested owners who are being terribly advised and they're hurling cash at it.
