Mark Hughes Quits Fulham

[Damo70]

Says he has not been approached by another club and has not been influenced by outside parties but wishes to further his footballing career and experience.

[Percy McCarthy]

Yeah, just got up and saw it. Delighted, my number one choice.

Could be going somewhere else though I suppose. Roma?

Poo

[pauliewalnuts]

Chelsea bound.

Ball bags,just spent the afternoon daydreaming about Ancelotti.

[Kevin Dawson]

So it's Mark Hughes then. Let's get behind him IF he is the choice. Hopefully he can persuade Downing to stay (and possiblt Ash?)

[supertom]

Looks like we have our man. I think he'll do well. He's not the man to get us top 4, but I don't think anyone capable enough on our budget wouuld come here.
I think he'll sort us out and perhaps even get the best out of Ireland.

I'm not blown away, but I'm not disappointed either.

You'd have to think it's going to be Hughes for us, then. I'll be very pleased, if that's how it works out. I think he might just be the very thing for us, and us the very thing for him (for reasons I waffled on about in another thread somewhere!) - more so than Ancelotti, in my opinion.

Like finding out you have won the lottery, then finding out it's only a tenna - average appointment, if it is him. Well, after all these years no more ST for me.

[TheSandman]

Could be worse. Could be better.

Meh.

[Jon Crofts]

Underwhelmed in the extreme if it is.

[DB]

That's the point, if it could be better then why not???

Fair to say they're not taking it too well on the Fulham forums.  But "hope he gets AIDS" is out of order.  Mind you, that is from someone calling himself Matthew Simmons.  Thought he was a Palace fan.

ETA: he's since modified his post

[pauliewalnuts]

Tell you what, though, as soon as they get it priced up, I'm going on MON for Fulham.

[hilts_coolerking]

I'd feel a bit better about it if O'Neill went to Fulham.
