According to Talk Sport this morning he will receive £2m for keeping them up.
It's a damn sight better gamble than anything at Cheltenham this week, even uncle Bob's naps!
The only thing Hughes has to lose is his reputation, which frankly is average at best.
"premier league experience" is the phrase that holds the English game back more than anything else.
Proven mediocre at best managers continually getting top jobs no matter how often they fail.
They always moan about foreign managers blocking the path for young British managers but the old boys club who keep getting the jobs despite being proven failures is the real issue.Quote:

Russ would have done it for £200. :hehe:
How many professions other than bankers and football managers can you fail at and still keep getting the same job?
MPs?Quote:

I dont know how you can critisicise his spending at Everton when he hasnt even had a summer window yet!!
His two signings in January - Walcott and Toscun - have both been decent signings so far.
It’s more the fact he has a decently squad and he’s still playing negative football even after his signings. The number of shots per game they’ve had on target since he’s been in charge is pathetic.
He’s too stuck in his ways, decent manager if you’re about to be relegated but beyond that he’s too negative and always ends up dividing the fans.
Were they really that much of a shambles under Koeman? He had to go after wasting a lot of money but they appointed allardyce because they thought they were in relegation trouble when a win or two would have had them mid table.
It's accepted by football cognescie that the FIRST THING a new manager does when he starts is to work on the leaking defence. It's logical and obvious - except to Everton fans.Quote:

I bet that won't go down well with the fans on the posh side of the south coast ,they will view that as a Pompey brit old fashioned type appointment , they saw themselves with a sexy continental manager, playing continental tic tac footy , until Liverpool kicked all there players .
its not the manager who should go, it the owners for selling all the treasure
I think he's a decent manager. Averages about 50pts a season in the PL which is about 10th place. But it's an odd choice from Southampton - not the type of manager they have gone with in recent years. I guess they want a Sgt. Major type to did them out of the relegation strife. I think he'll keep them up but beyond this season it seems an unlikely pairing.
Mark Hughes has Managed nearly 450 games in Premiership and never been relegated unlike our own highly rated manager who has never yet been successful in Premiership. However,I sincerely hope he will be next season!!

They are nowhere near the level of the top 6 yet they not only expect to win, but win in a certain style.
