He came back from his Raith relegation with a good job at County but his Dunfermline relegation might've fucked it for him now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 57 minutes ago, TheScarf said: Aye that's it basically. Takes someone else's squad and just keeps it going. Like with Terry Butcher's The Caley team. Only something like 3 players in the squad the day we won the cup were Hughes signings. One of which being the returning Greg Tansey, who Butcher originally signed in 2011. If he's tasked with building a squad, he's probably one of the worst in Scottish football history at doing it. Liam Horner, Nat Wedderburn, Liam Hughes, Ryan Williams and the worst of all…Dani Lopez. All absolute dugshite. He must be a really good coach tbf because all the cup winning squad say he improved them massively he just can’t spot a player to fucking save himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently upto 5 times a day. He threw a massive tantrum when we refused to let Dundee United talk to him and apparently he refused to take training for several days. 3 minutes ago, Central Belt Caley said: Liam Horner, Nat Wedderburn, Liam Hughes, Ryan Williams and the worst of all…Dani Lopez.

Mutumbo, Sho-silva, Kink and Sekajja were absolutely stinking as well. The only player who came in under him who did well was Storey and he was identified by the chairman allegedly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe he was signed, Never mind being our starting striker for the European games. Edited July 13, 2023 by PB1994 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 2 hours ago, FreedomFarter said: Dylan Easton too. I hated his short spell at Livi. You were just waiting for him to fall out with the next player. He must've been going through a mid-life crisis at the time or something. There was obv history between him and Deuchar, maybe from Falkirk times, as Kenny tweeted that'll be his last game for Livi then, when Hughes was announced as our manager. At Livi he hated flair players, that would dribble past opposition players and run with the ball, Bobby Barr and Dylan Easton both did that. He shackled Scougall though, moving him back to a DM, to bring the ball out of defence, because none of our CB's were capable of doing so, without losing the ball and ending with us conceding goals. Dunfermline away was the last straw for our fans, where Pars strikers stayed up the pitch waiting on our keeper rolling the ball out to a CB, then pressing them and winning possession, knocking 4 goals in against us. If our keeper hadn't kept on rolling the ball out, even when it was so obvious we'd get pressed and mugged every time, Hughes would've sent him to Coventry (or East Fife on loan, as he did Barr). Bobby Barr's crime was to take players on and score 2 goals against Falkirk in an away game, which we won, he ignored Barr running over to celebrate his goal, and looked raging at him, Barr said he got told not to bother coming in for training, he was done at Livi. Ostracized for running with the ball, and not playing tippy tappy football. Came across as a big galoot that would bully his players, and punt any that stood up to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many stories about is treatment of players he’s taken a dislike to for the ‘he’s a decent bloke’ stuff to hold any truth. Yeah, that's probably fair. Reading this thread, there's more evidence of him bullying people than I'd appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Only thing that I find odd about Hughes no being able to land a job is that Scottish fitba is full of totally unremarkable journeymen players and managers who manage to do the rounds and keep it going for eons, getting job after job despite doing nothing of note anywhere and probably having far more failures than successes, so why Hughes appears to be the exception to the norm i'm not sure. Perhaps he just comes across terribly in interviews and gives potential employers cold feet or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeker Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Home Alone was the pinnacle for me. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was also worth a mention. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Poor decision making. He can clearly build a good team but going in to fire-fight doesn't suit him. Should never had went to Raith/Hartlepool/Dunfermline. Would rather have him than Johnson anyday. Bit old school and not enough buzz words for the boards these days though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 7 hours ago, GAD said: I always though Hughes was one of those guys who was a great appointment when he was coming into a team that was already in a good position, doing well and had maybe lost their previous manager because of that. Bring in Yogi to tell them how great they are and keep the good feeling rolling, like at Falkirk and ICT. He isn't really suited to coming into a crisis. This is it, really. And why I think Callum Davidson needs to choose his next job wisely, as hes remarkably similar to Hughes as a manager in terms of repeatedly doing things that dont work + savaging a squad long term by spending a fortune on shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he just comes across terribly in interviews and gives potential employers cold feet or something. He's been out for a year, having been one of those journeymen who dive around jobs simply by having a known name. The biggest reason he hasn't got a job yet is because the jobs he would have a chance of getting are not the jobs his ego thinks are suitable for him, and apart for his media stint he doesn't clearly doesn't have enough mates in the game to be given the coaching/assistant/scout roles that get handed out as a way of keeping everyone ticking over. Rice offering him something at alloa is possible i guess, but again being a coach at PT level isn't where his ego will have him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that group of peers like Coyle, Stewart, McCall etc like him well enough as a pal, no-one wants to work with him though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser_soze Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 TBH I was quite chuffed when he was appointed Raith manager, a lot happier when he was emptied and deliriously happy when the pars took him on. A complete tosser and the only person who thinks he's still capable of managing a top flight side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 To think there were Motherwell fans wanting him in in August when Alexander got sacked and in Feb when Hammell was emptied. He did make me laugh when he pitched himself for the Aberdeen job on the radio after Goodwin got the sack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hughes always gets touted when a managerless club has been called gutless. Yogi is the type of manager that will fire them up etc He seemed to do ok but there was always something about the way he left clubs that was odd. Like Kevin Thompson, Jim McIntyre & Owen Coyle. His time at Raith was mental, he gave an interview that was completely unhinged towards the end of the season. His record was decent and there were a few Ayr fans wanted him when Duffy left, me included, he had won cups, played for the club and we were as soft as puppy shit. He went to Dunfermline, signed Joe Chalmers from us and dropped them in to league one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think him coming in is more likely to demotivate a squad or at least large portions of it when they notice he's a p***k and won't dance to his tune. That and his pathetic attempts to pretend he's one of the boys with his shitty dad jokes would have me absolutely dreading coming into work and your certainly not going above and beyond for him.
