I FEEL

a bit for Mark Hughes but unless there is a dramatic turnaround he has to go from Stoke.

I said when he took over that this could be his last Premier League job and unless he takes a side up I’m struggling to see where he’d get another chance.

I don’t know what his exact style is — he has been a pragmatist at some clubs, got the ball down and played with it at others, and managed clubs with money and without.

Hiring him wouldn’t be like hiring a Tony Pulis or Sam Allardyce, where you know exactly what you are getting.
