For me Mark Hughes is the best manager we have had in a very long. Yes we have just gone out of the UEFA cup to, what is at best a average Greek side. But in managerial terms Mark Hughes is young and still learning himself. To build a squad like we have and attract the calibre of players that he has such as McCarthy and Santa Cruz for very little money in today's current market. Just goes to show what a respected character in football he is. Just to have qualified for europe again is a brilliant achievement considering the state the club was in when he took over and im sure we will qualify for europe again this season.
