In fact, Wales were in a good position but blew it, Jol-fashion, at the closing stages. Blackburn have not won anything either. They have achieved reasonable finishes  - again, Jol-style. They play the same sort of unattractive football I suspect that  Jol prefers

We are a soft touch at the moment, so we need a hard man whose team are not soft, ergo Hughes is our man. Wrong! You don't make a long term appointment to fix a short term problem. Newcastle did that with Graham Souness. It doesn't work!

Hughes has performed at around par so far in his managerial career. He has not over-achieved at Blackburn or Wales, given the cirucmstances.  We need a top manager who has performed at the highest level, not someone who has just done OK at a medium sized club. We don't need another Gerry Francis. We need a proven winner.

If we can't get the right man at the moment, we should go for a caretaker until our man becomes available.
