Be careful what you wish for - I expect Fulham to be interested in B-Mac (admittedly amongst others). We could end up with Dave Jones

No problem with dave jones as a manager at this level. i'd fear more a george burley or a mickey adams. expect to see zamora depart to villa park now.

I'd expect Bentley to follow him to Villa as well. They're going to lose Young and possibly Downing as well and Bentley would be an ideal replacement.

I've always hated Mark Hughes. Ever since that spawny volley which denied little Oldham an FA Cup final appearance back in 1994. Good player, but a very agressive one all the same. He's also had the same shite hair-style since about 1985. He comes across as surly, sour and humourless in interviews and is a chief exponent of the style of blame-the-ref-to-hide-my-team's-shortcomings football management which pervades the Premier League (and lower down, tbf). This kind of myopia denegrates the game in my opinion.

And now he has walked out on a good job at Fulham, insistant that he has not been approached by another club. Given your track record for being economical with the actualite as hinted above, I'll retain a cynical view on that and I look forward to seeing you turn up very soon at Villa Park. And I hope that you fail there.

He had a one year contract - which is now up. Walking away is absolutely no problem at all.

And as soon as the Villa job came up, he couldn't walk out soon enough could he. Fulham I am sure would have been keen to renew his contract and don't forget they gave him a chance after he failed to do anything of note with the City millions. He has also won a grand total of bugger all trophies in management so I'd suggest he is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is.

Would you have him here floyde?

The rumour is McDermott to Villa and Huges to the Mad Stad.

Bloke on twitter told me.

No it didn't

He had an "option" to leave after one year in his two year contract

I would not be happy if I was a Fulham fan. It's not a Pardew / McGhee, but it's still shit.

Chelsea bound?

Odd's have taken a big cut for the Chels job.

On a serious note NFA.... Hughes to replace Ancelotti? Really??

PEARCEY · by **PEARCEY** » 02 Jun 2011 21:35

If it is Chelsea then I don't blame him but he's hardly the big name Chelsea would have been expected to go for. Hughes is an ok manager. Nothing special. He was shafted by Man City so I suspect he really doesn't believe too strongly in loyalty existing between managers/clubs.
After losing Hodgson a year ago Fulham fans are entitled to feel pretty hacked off at the moment.
