Missed memo: Man City is a big club now? (From 8/17/09)

By

mark-hughesIn my clumsiness again I seem to have missed a memo. Apparently Manchester City now rank among the big clubs, at least according to the words of Mark hughes:

I’m not surprised David feels a bit aggrieved with the situation, you always are when a big club is trying to sign one of your best players.

We already analyzed Mark Hughes’ behaviour in the past but things seem to become worse and worse every day.

You don’t become a big club because of your spending power, but because of your results!.

According to Sparky’s logic, who seems to have another Code of Conduct than every other manager and will continue his chase to sign Joleon Lescott from Everton, there have been many big clubs in recent years, but he forgets where these clubs have ended. [Read more…]

The Arabs Need A Translator, Hughes Needs A Calculator

mark-hughesIf you thought that the Abu Dhabi family’s problems could have been made easier with the help of a decent translator, which could have saved them the embarrassment of buying a team without own stadium, you’ll have to think again.

Not only do the multi-billionaires have to live up that error now it also seems that they will have to send their manager to ground school again. Former ManUtd legend Mark Hughes admitted that he will keep an eye on the game at Anfield on Sunday ((Who will not, especially since no other game is played at the same time)) but contrarily to other seasons this time he will look at the result in the hope that one team might drop points and improve Citeh’s position. According to the greying Welsh man top 4 teams seem to perform worse than in previous seasons:

When we go up against the top four teams, if we can do our work and take points off them, then that will help us in terms of the ambitions we have,” he added

Cryboy Whinge #27143: Tevez Will Celebrate When He Scores Against ManUtd

By

welcome-to-the-end-of-your-careerYes, he’s at it again. Slowly the boy is becoming more annoying than the Sparky we know today. In a new episode (I could be wrong and it might be Whinge Episode 27144 already) the Argentinean escort loan player has now announced that contrarily to games against West Ham he will celebrate when he scores against Manchester United.

In the derby against United I had also decided not to celebrate our goals but, after the bad treatment I received from the supporters that day, I have changed my stance on that.

If I score in the next derby then I am sure that I will celebrate.

The emphasis here obviously is on when. We do not have to look far where he gets his inspiration from. There is the person we once loved and still want to respect but Mark Hughes has changed massively ever since he said at the press conference he was introduced as new Council House manager ‘I have played for other clubs as well’ but Tevez’s influencer is someone else.

Council House continues spending spree but must beg players to sign.

Ever when Mark Hughes, a former ManUtd legend who helped us achieve European glory, was announced at Eastlands I knew things would quickly deteriorate and ‘Sparky’ was on a path to destroy his status with the ManUtd fans. During his first press conference at The Council House he answered that he ‘had played for other teams as well‘ when asked if he thought there would be problems between him and Manchester United. Now he managed to drag our favourite whiner to the other side of town. But things are becoming totally ridiculous. Rumours say that Adebayor already passed a medical at Eastlands and will sign at City for a reported fee of £25m. That is still not enough for Sparky. Realizing that City has only invested in offensive talent ((And some old-timers such as Bellamy)) he has been flirting publicly with Mr. Chelsea. sadly a reported weekly fee of £250k still haven’t convinced John Terry to move to a club who even did not qualify for the UEFA cup under Hughes and the City manager not has to beg publicly to convince the England international and Skipper, AKA Mr. Slippery, to make the move to Eastlands:

We would like to think we could offer him a different challenge

No truer word could be spoken in matters of challenges. Instead of challenging for the European Champions League titel Terry would have to compete to qualify for the UEFA cup, possibly using backdoors such as the Intertoto or Fair Play challenges. The whine continues: [Read more…]
