...appointed until the end of the season:

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.
Pardew, Hughes, Allardyce, Moyes etc keep getting sacked but then get another premier league job immediately
How is Mark Hughes a proven failure? He has regularly had top 10 finishes with unfashionable clubs. He finished 9th with Stoke 3 years on the trot, before a poor season this season, so 3 good seasons out of 4 and hes classed as a failure?
And given the clubs Allardyce has kept up in this division I wouldnt call him a failure either. What he did Sunderland and Palace in recent times was nothing short of miraculous.
Russ would have done it for £200.
How many professions other than bankers and football managers can you fail at and still keep getting the same job?
Failure is a bit harsh with Hughes. But the 2 chances alardyce has got with a transfer budget at bigger clubs he’s ****ed up because he only has one style. He’s a decent fire fighters but I wouldn’t let him build a team looking to do something. Also has a habit of making the whole fan base hate him.
Everton
They were a shambles when he come in. Koeman had signed a totally unbalanced squad and hes steadied the ship.
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.
Less than a month ago he conceded 5 against the worst arsenal team in over a decade. And they’ve lost to Burnley and Watford in the last fortnight.
It’s all well and good working on a leaky defence but he has to eventually get beyond that. Has that happened since his Bolton days?
It takes more than a few months to sort a leaky defence, and then start sprinkling some magic dust on top.
The problem with Everton fans, like Newcastle, and West Ham fans for that matter. They are deluded.
They are nowhere near the level of the top 6 yet they not only expect to win, but win in a certain style.
