Trying to play like Man City in league two doesn't work. Mark is very stubborn and doesn't see what everyone else does. Just look at how Alexander has us playing with energy and attacking at every opportunity. The players have said the shackles are off. Hughes liked us to play tippy tappy at the back for an hour with an isolated Andy Cook up front gets frustrating and very boring. He didn't see this though and therefore he got sacked. He's not missed. A very frustrating man who is beyond stubborn.
Surprising?.... We were 18th, playing boring negative clueless football. Sorry Mark but you lost the fans and players.... And it didn't start just from this season either.
He did crap at stoke took them down
Yeah that Carlisle match was an abomination and after that we failed to adapt to the new season.
He's too big for that club anyway... tactics of proper football leagues not these Sunday league clubs with Sunday league players
He did crap at stoke...? Mark Hughes got u 3 top ten finishes in a row in the premier league! Probably will never happen again in your lifetime. Stoke played far better football under mark hughes than they did under that dinasour pullis. And i think u will find it was paul lambert who took stoke down.
@@UKparanormalztoo big? Playing his tactics no bigger club would look at him, his style didn’t even work in league 2
He forgot to mention he spent all pre season wasting this important time working on a football system that he didn't have the players to play it. His football was dire boring to watch and at times gave us the impression he didn't have a clue.
Thank-you for what you did for us hughesy. Last season was quality pal. All the best
Victim of his own success! Happy with how it’s going under Alexander but Hughes gave us our first good year since 2017. Got dealt a bad hand in the summer and deserved more than 10 games
Its a fact Hughes failed to take us up. Ex prem manager couldn't even crack league 2.
That's the problem with taking a job like that. People say stuff like Pep wouldn't get this team up, and then they expect Mark Hughes to get Bradford up just because he's managed in the Premier League.
"For whatever reason..."
Surely he understands that he's not been a decent manager anywhere?!
I don't think he does ;) Apart from Blackburn all sheit considering how much money he spent. Describing episode; He complained about the Stoke owners didn't back him enough after he got the sack and just some 6 months earlier he praised them for giving him the players he wanted lol! Br.Saints fan.
Great playing career though, let's not forget that.
He was very good at Blackburn, but since then he's slowly been using up all that credit. By the time he left Southampton it was no surprise that new clubs weren't touching him.
He's been around a long time but he's nowhere near the level of Allardyce or Moyes in terms of managerial ability.
Yeah, he wasn't decent at Rovers, he was GREAT.
He improved the style of football and got a higher finish than Tony Pulis at Stoke, yet Pulis was manager of the year and Hughes is considered a failure there. It's bizarre.
@@clivet3252 for me, Hughes at Stoke is a lot like Martinez at Everton. They both owe their short-lived success to the previous managers. They added attacking flair to an already stable and well drilled squad, which gave them good results initially. But after a season or two without the discipline of the previous managers it all fell apart
That's one point of view. Another is that the football was shocking, we were 18th in the 4th division. Some players have since admitted they didn't enjoy playing for him. And for a so-called experienced "PL manager" he was out thought tactically by inexperienced lower league managers on many occasions. In one game our two CBs made over 600 passes between them. He never understood our identity and that you can't play PL football with LG2 players.
Mark Hughes ......LEGEND
look where bradford are now march 20th 2024 hughes a top top man
what's the odds Mark Hughes becomes Wrexham's manager at some point?
He is so desperate for that gig - he was almost sucking Reynolds off the BBC and making a point about him being from the town
I respect and acknowledge his career as a player but he's been average at best during his managerial career. I think Bradford are much better off with Graham Alexander
There's managers who haven't got near him who are considered a success.
Poor man management - sent a striker out on loan who is now the top scorer in all divisions and spent the clubs money in a 36 year old who has done nothing yet his agent is mark’s son.
His stubborn approach to our playing style was a joke. Same team under a different manager and we have won 5 on the bounce in all competitions.
The guy is a dinosaur who was brought in because our CEO got all starry eyed because he’s a manure fan.
Joke of a manager. Needs to hold his hands up about his mistakes and stubborn attitude.
Joke of a podcast and presenters should have stuck him with spears more on his awful management of Bradford.
Tbh I was still on the fence when he got sacked, but going on a run of six wins out of six never looked like happening under Hughes, even last season.
I find it interesting that after taking over Gareth Ainsworth experimented with other formations, under the assumption that Hughes had got his tactics wrong. This recent success came around after a return to the 3-5-2 employed by Hughes but with an emphasis upon attack, something that never seemed to occur to Mark, showing that it was in fact his philosophy that was the dragging the side down the table.
The misfiring first half of the season also meant that the recruitment department also came under scrutiny. In their defence, I think everyone's estimation of the team has risen recently now that they've shown what they actually are capable of and they had recruited specifically for this 3-5-2 formation that Gareth Ainsworth is finding success with and Hughes could not get a tune out of.
I openly admit that I was wrong. I think that one of the reasons that I wasn't in full support of Hughes being sacked was because he wasn't 'terrible' and I just thought that he'd stop the rot sooner or later and although we wouldn't necessarily be fighting relegation, we were definitely in for a shit season. I didn't think that anyone available would be able to get much better out of what I deemed to be a very poor side. Like I said, I was wrong.
I felt uneasy during the intermediary period when time dragged on and we still hadn't made an appointment and stories of managers declining interest emerged. It seemed to me like whoever we managed to get would clearly not have been our first choice, indeed not our second or third either. I felt like we were being seen as a poisoned chalice, the pressure to awaken the 'sleeping giant' weighing heavily around the neck of too many managers that got the chop post-Parkinson and that any ambitious manager with the skills to get us performing again would just give us the swerve to avoid that.
Man is a legend on the pitch, but as a manager he's not there yet, seriously with a club like Bradford City in league 2 he could have done alot better especially when you get almost 20,000 homefans
Always thought mark was a brilliant player even though not a keen Man U fan I think it’s difficult as a manager like mark cause you can’t polish shit
Good players dont make good managers ,,,😮
Nothing suprise huge club he failed badly with
What is this? Old payoffs, die hard.
