Maybe that's why Fulhan topped the fair play league this season...

A lot of hype in the Italian media that Carlo will be our man within 48 hours.... No smoke without fire??

Should this come to fruition, I'd be over the moon!!! :D

Could Hughes be off elsewhere? ???

If it was to be Hughes we'd have the bonus of being a physical side and finishing bottom of the Fair Play League each year - none of this rolling over anymore

Remind who qualified this year through the fair play league?

Anyone who can make Sidwell look good has to have something.

You're basing this on what exactly? I saw him play for Fulham several times. He re-defined ordinary, Not shit, not good.

Oh, and fwiw I think Hughes is not the best, but a long way from the worst.

Have Fulham not just qualified for the Europa League via Fiarplay?  ???

Didn't Fulham just qualify for Europe through the fair play league?

A switched on Ireland behind Darren Bent = lots of goals.

Sort the defence out and we'll be very nifty again next season.

I'll welcome Hughes if it's him coming, but I draw the line at those two wankers Warnock and Ireland.

Houllier was no clown

It takes some doing to be out-performed by Kevin MacDonald and Gary McAlister.

Or to win the FA Cup, UEFA Cup, and League Cup in one season.

Indeed. Sorry, didn't get the significance of the word 'was' in Ozz's post. Obviously, I meant is a clown.

I wonder how good Fergie will be in ten years time.

Hughes is a very good manager. He did a great job with Wales, Blackburn and Fulham, with limited resources, and he was unlucky to get sacked by Man City before he'd had a chance to bed in a hastily assembled new team.
Warnock and Ireland certainly played well for him.

If he is the man, I won't be displeased.

I'd say this is more underwhelming than when Houllier took over. If he does come I'll give him a chance.
