He is a lucky bastud if he gets it after that joke effort at QPR, hoping he is being used as a smoke-screen, and someone else is the first choice, this would be typical Stoke.
Evening dragon, not many managers have achieved much tbh, but he did ok at Blackburn arguably doing ok at city before all the money came in, and a decent time at Fulham before leaving of his own accord
won fick all and id be interested to see his spend at the clubs
But there are only 3or 4 managers around that have won anything and stoke are not going to get Jose are they?
The stats woody put up, stoke would be more than happy with that average surely
true but hughes for ficks sake total failure as a manager, good player but joke of of a manager unless he s got millions of other peoples monet to spend
left fulham coz they wd not fund his mad spending spree, spent millions at citeh and they sacked him £34m for robiniho ffs!!
totally inept

we are ****, we are ****, we are ****. to thise who wanted to get rid of tony - be careful what you wish for, batterings by vale are soon to be on the horizon hahahahahahahahahahahaha
For me Woodshires he should by now be on the same scrapheap as Hoddle, Souness and Curbishley. I can't believer they will appoint him to be honest.
i think mark hughes is a good manager. he had a "bad day" at QPR.
actually he might not be too bad. a club like stoke suits im better than a man shity tyoe...its just that he is such a moaning ****

Mark Hughes has emerged as a leading contender to replace Tony Pulis as Stoke City manager.
The former Queens Park Rangers boss, 49, would be open to the prospect, with leading figures at the club of the view that Hughes would be a "good fit".

Price now 2.74, but will probably shorten overnight and first thing tomorrow as the mugs pile in.
I reckon that as the day goes on, and the fans voice their opinion, the price will get bigger. Much bigger.

mark hughes is a shocking OCD egotistical piece of ordinary management and because of that can't get the best out of his players.

Give us the stats please, in view of the fact that that pile of shiite have rarely been at the same level.

I really hope he gets it because I can revert back to my 'full hatred' of Stoke once more.
football management must be the only job where past horrendous mistakes virtually guarantees employment
Did he win the spainish lottey years ago...when he played in Spain..or was it just a story going round at the time?
into 2.4 now if the betting is right he will be at stoke
The Board risk alientating a decent portion of fans if they employ Hughes, as he's not well liked due to his previous spat / failure to shake hands with Pulis in a past game.
However, I guess he would ultimately be judged by the team's results.

if MH takes over i will be backing Stoke for relegation next year
I still can't believe they will appoint this pr1ck, he has no qualifications for the job at all, ex-manure, failure at previous club, wasted money on shiit players, plays dull football and is happy with draws, dull, uninspiring personality, will be hated by fans from day 1.
I've layed him now, anyone but him for pity's sake.

I thought this was all management. Look at the payoffs, fat cat pensions and jobs for the boys that we get in this country.
What follows is a bit longer than the usual post on here, but it's something the Stoke fans should make sure their chairman reads - it's a blog post (not written by me) from last November:
A quick glance at Tony Fernandes’s twitter bio sees the internationally renowned entrepreneur and Queens Park Rangers chairman describe himself as a dreamer.
Scroll a little further down and you will find him once again urging QPR supporters for patience; the message: “keep calm, we will come good.”
It will seem all too familiar to fans, who, with more than a quarter of the season played and still no wins, are left wondering when Fernandes will wake up and bring the nightmare reign of Mark Hughes to an end.
The problem with the influx of wealthy outsiders into the game’s highest positions is that they are not footballing men, they do not have the knowledge and understanding of the sport that past owners had, and rely heavily on advisers whose motives do not always match up with their own or those of the fans.
Despite spending the summer assembling a team of mercenaries akin to the latest Expendables blockbuster, Fernandes finds his team seven league positions worse off than at this stage last season, and must be scratching his head as to where he has gone wrong.
Fernandes is just the latest in a line of foreign owners to be disappointed by Hughes, and it is hard not to feel a tinge of sympathy towards him (as much sympathy as one can have for a multimillionaire).
Hughes spent an astonishing total of £272.75 million in just 18 months at Manchester City, failing to get anywhere near the best out of big name signings such as Adebayor (£25m), Tevez (£25.5m), Lescott (£22m), and Bellamy (£14m); and wasting big money on flops such as Robinho (32.5m), Jo (£18m), and Roque Santa Cruz (£17.5m). After a spell of just 2 wins in 11 league games he was replaced by Roberto Mancini who has since gone on to win the FA Cup and Premier League with many of the same players that Hughes had at his disposal.
It was therefore a surprise when Fulham owner Mohammed al Fayed gave him another chance to manage a Premier League club, but bizarrely after less than 11 months Hughes repaid him by resigning, stating: “as a young, ambitious manager I wish to move on to further my experiences.” Leaving a bemused al Fayed to describe Hughes as “a strange man”.
A year later Hughes was presiding over West London rivals QPR in a relegation dogfight, while Fulham finished in the top half of the table.
It wouldn’t be the last statement to come back to haunt Hughes.
After losing the last game of the season at Manchester City and avoiding relegation by just 1 point in May he uttered the now infamous lines, “We’ll never be in this situation again while I’m the manager”.
With an extrapolated points total of just 15 if the remaining 28 games follow the same pattern as the first 10, many QPR fans would now happily settle for a situation in which they achieve survival come next May.
Watching his post match interview after the Reading game this weekend, you would think the Welshmans side had just come off the pitch at Old Trafford; not at home against a newly promoted club who had not won a game all season and were recovering from a draining 120 minutes of midweek madness against Arsenal in which they managed to concede seven times.
“Teams aren’t going to allow us to play our expansive game and pass and move.” he says. Newsflash: no team, not even Reading, are going to turn up and allow you to pass the ball around them and make them look like chumps.
If you are unable to assert your style of play at home against one of the weakest sides in the league one wonders if this style of play is really the best way forward, or indeed if it exists at all outside the realms of Hughes’ imagination.
“The key is that first win, once we get that things will settle down and we can play our football.” This is another of his favourite lines lately which suggests there is a Pandora’s box just waiting to be opened at Loftus Road and upon the receival of three points we will all suddenly see a dazzling new QPR whizz up the table and take up their rightful place challenging for a Champions League spot with Barcelona style flair and possession.
For anybody still believing the fantasy that Hughes is a great footballing scholar in the mould of Guardiola or Del Bosque: his rough and ready Blackburn side finished rock bottom of the disciplinary table all 4 seasons he was in charge; last season his club captain was Joey Barton – he is by no means a purist. This is just the latest smoke screen to deter fans and Fernandes from unsatisfactory performances and results and to keep himself in the job a little longer; a job which will surely be his last in the Premier League.
There have been arrogant managers before him, great ones too, like Brian Clough and Jose Mourinho. They get away with it by coming across as charismatic, inspiring, likeable. There is nothing likeable about Hughes. He lacks charm and charisma, and has twice failed to get anywhere near the best out of two expensively assembled teams. His greatest achievement to date is leading Blackburn Rovers to the FA Cup semi finals, but listening to him in interviews you would think he had achieved as much as the greats mentioned above.
Fernandes certainly wants to believe the hype, confidently outlining plans last week for a new 45,000 capacity stadium stating “if we are playing good football and have a good stadium, people will come”.
Hughes, who turned 49 last week, surely won’t be at Loftus Road by the time he turns 50. The question is how many more dreamers like Fernandes will be conned by the dour Welshman and leave their club at the whim of his unique blend of arrogance, overspending and dangerous delusions of grandeur.

There is not a cat in hell's chance of Mark Hughes being the next Stoke Manager - Can't think of a single Stoke fan I know that does not hate him following his spat with the Legendary Tony Pulis. I'm sure Peter Coates knows this and to be honest probably feels the same. If he does manage somehow to get the job it will alienate the Stoke Crowd who are so important to the team.
Oh and plus what the hell has he ever done to manage a great team like Stoke?
