MCFCfans' poll asking City fans if they think Mark Hughes should stay or go has seen a surge in support for Mark Hughes over the last 24 hours. The increase in votes from fans thinking Mark Hughes should stay co-incides with a range of articles and messages of support from players. Robinho, Ireland, and Zabaleta have all made comments in support of Hughes in recent reports.
Bloggers Danny Pugsley from Bitter and Blue and Jack Pitt-Brooke from The Lonesome Death of Roy Carroll have also recently contributed to the Hughes debate that continues to roll on.
Has the fining of Robinho had any impact on fans' views in terms of relief that he won't be given preferential treatment?
The transfer policy is one raging debate. The discipline and the fitness regime don't seem to be in doubt. But it's the tactical decision-making that surely remains to be seen. Consider the following thoughts taken from a recent post on MCIVTA:
- Had Corluka not been threatened with being permanently out of position, he may be performing on the pitch as he did last season, but for us.
- Had Micah been left as the best right back in the country (bar none) he would not be struggling on the pitch because he is horribly out of position. The
disparaging remarks against him recently forget that he never asked to be played out of position (let's not even mention the left back experiment).
- Had Vassell not been told to block SWP on the right, the whole team might be more cohesive and effective.
- Had instructions not been to hoof the ball up to the lone striker (whoever it may be),the players on the pitch might produce the quality football they clearly enjoy.
- Had we played the second half team in the first half of the Derby, we would not have lost.
- Had we not been playing for a draw at Fulham, we could have ripped through them.
Out of the 6 points how many of these points chime with you? Comment here.
Whatever the errors and impact of Hughes approach on the team, there will always be that nagging feeling that we just have to stick it out this time.
Our poll will close at the end of the transfer window. Have your say now by clicking here.

Peter Doherty says:
The reason there is a spike for Hughes is because of the galvanising effect the gutter press is having on the fans. It's time to stand firm behind the club as the whole world (seemingly) is out to get us with its lies and groundless insinuations. Hughes is the man to see us through this and on to the promised land.

This last month will make us stronger and I for one will be glad when the club, supporters, manager and player can stick two fingers up to the whole media after immense kicking we have recieved for having the guts to go for it big time. In 12 months time we will be roaring.

There is no doubt that Hughes needs a good start to this season to prove his critics wrong. Yes, Manchester City have world-class players now. Yes, they have more money than anyone in the world. Have they got the right man in charge of everything though? Can Hughes handle the pressure? Let's hope so.
