blandy Posted September 2, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2013 Didn't Mark Hughes have him at Man City? That could be why. If he can get him playing like he did for them, it'll be a good deal for Stoke. Whatever though, he was utter bobbins for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Says everything about Mark Hughes really. Hasn't paid attention the last few years and thinks he can unearth the old Ireland, which is never going to happen. Glad to be rid of this vermin.

Dodgyknees Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Why on earth Stoke think this is a good idea? Mark Hughes, the only manager that Ireland has ever performed for. Yeah, I bet he did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Good riddance. Worst signing in Villa's history. Let's just forget it ever happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I hope Ireland makes a go of this for his own sake. For all the wealth he has - I hope hes not looking back @ 40 years old - wondering how good he could have been if he applied himself correctly. No amount of money can roll back the years - he's very lucky IMO to get another prem club - don't blow this one Stevie... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think he'll be bankrupt by the time he's 40 mate. This is very much the last chance saloon for him at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it didn't work out for us and it can be put down to numerous things, I hope he takes this chance with both hands as I very much doubt he'll get another.
