I think he will do a fine job. I do think he is a bit over rated, but thst being said, he is a quality manager. Maybe now Fulham can get busy in the transfer market. The squad could use some strengthening. Time to get a mid table, between 8 and 11, finish started.

I recall a lot of people being underwhelmed by Roys appointment so it will interesting to see how this one is regarded. To be honest I hadn't even considered he would be the choice. He was one of my favourite players and he did a pretty good job with Blackburn so I am hopeful he will be goos for Fulham. I don't think we was given a proper chance at Man City so he has gor something to prove. Fingers crossed.

Gutted. Miserable welsh git who will impose unattractive style of play and fill the team with heavies. Terrible record in transfer market and will waste alfayed cash. Anyone want to buy a season ticket half price?

Oh cheer up Tom you miserable git. It could have been Sven... or Curbishley... Or Jones...
I'm quite hopeful about this, Hughes seems to always command the respect of his players (he handled Bellamy well, that's evidence enough!). And it's not just because I'm welsh.

actually his transfer deals at Blackburn were pretty good if i recall correctly. And although Hughes can get his team to win dirty when required he also had them playing a decent standard of football. They played us off the park on one occasion. I think his rep for ugly football comes from games against the likes of Arsenal and in fairness if you're a Blackburn you're not going to go out and try and play one touch flowing football against the top teams.
I'm don't think we'd have done better from whats available. Considering that are last three managers were Coleman who was cheap but did a decent job, Sanchez who no more need be said about, and Hodgson who was amazing for us but was completly left field, this is actually a big step forward for the club. We're not that big a team but we've got one of the brightest young British managers going even if he is a miserable tosser in interviews.

have we officially confirmed hughes is to be our boss yet? Nothing on the website so i assume not. looks like it is him just wondering why we haven't announced anything.
Decent manager, wouldn't have been my first choice but who cares as long as we can actually start planning for this season. COYW!
