Steves club record is good, you could argue he has done a lot more than Hughes has. Yes most people would be against him at first but I think most would settle down and give him a chance.
Steves record with Twente is good, his record with Boro is average at best. Despite the heavy backing he recieved as manager he achieved only one top ten finish, where as Hughes has never finished outside of the top ten when he has had a full season in charge at a club, with much smaller resources, Man City aside.
So yes you could argue, but your case would be weak.
Steve got England playing again,best football since 66 in my opinion. Borough fell apart after mclaren left. I think he over achieved there.
Main thing I have against Hughes is his habit of walking out on clubs. We have already had one tosser do that and I wouldn't be keen on another.
Steve would respect this job and be in it for the long term.
You're brilliant, do you do requests??
