  1. For what it's worth I am pleased that Mark Hughes has been appointed. In a number of ways, I was sorry that Souness went, not least because of the manner and speed of his departure. He did a lot for the club in his time at Rovers and I for one greatly valued his steadying influence in turbulent times. But, I also agree with may who have posted here - perhaps it was time for him to move on and I'm glad he left of his own accord rather than via the sack. In Hughes we have a young manager with many of Souness's best qualities in terms of determination, charisma and reputation, but, importantly, without many of his less palatable characteristics - the ego, the dogmatic approach, the ability to publicly fall out with players and not have the humility to forgive and forget. OK, Hughes lacks the experience at club level, but he also doesn't come with the baggage Souness increasingly seems to have been carrying around last season and this. Who knows whether it will work out well for Rovers - there are so many intangibles? However, regardless, I'm proud that an ex-player who is globally revered and respected and who has successfully managed his national team for 5 years wants to come and manage the club I support. I can't wait until the 'wins' start to come through but no-one should be intolerant enough to criticise Hughes if Saturday's game against Portsmouth (or indeed the next couple of fixtures) don't deliver 3 points. Give him time to make the team, the regime and the way we play his way and I really believe that we will have a solid season and be out of the relegation worry zone well before the end of March, let alone April.
