Richard Hughes

I was reading the other day, that Richard Hughes is likely to go down as one of the best Sporting Directors we have ever had.

Let's look at that list. He's up at the top

1. Edwards
2. Richard Hughes
3. Schmadman
4. Damian Comedy

People giving Hughes the credit for selecting Slot, do we actually know it was all hughes ? For me at the start of the season Hughes priority was to sort out the contracts for the 3. Well into the season, Salah and VVD were going to the media saying hey have not been approached. Winter I think we needed reinforcement at the back, but if Slot is happy with Quansah and Robbo so beit.
Until I see he has done something, he is stealing a living

That Athletic article is simply Edwards quote padding Hughes.

The article seems to suggest it was indeed Hughes. The fact he nabbed Iraola not long before suggests it's not an unreasonable story.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this article came out at the end of the transfer window where he's drawn another blank.
