With the injuries he had yes. Also they finished 8th. Where do you expect Fulham to finish each season?
He inherited a good, stable side that Hodgson crafted and has since won a smaller percentage of games than him.
I'm not saying he's done a bad job there but I'd say its par for the course, which is what Hughes is as a manager. I don't think he's ever shown that he's capable of improving a club significantly and doesn't have what it takes to push us on to the next level.
He had far worse injuries than Hodgson had. You still didn't answer my question, where do you expect Fulham to finish most seasons?
Sorry, missed that part, top 10.
I think thats very generous. 11th-14th for me. To get Fulham top 8 is an acheivement.
