Seems all polls on this site and the other one are between Hughes and Forster.

Here is John Hughes http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/9294896.stm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And Forster speaks here (scroll down) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 247116.stm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Was I not clear when I ended my piece with 'the inclusion of one is not to the exclusion of another'?

Matt.
You mentioned that Hargreaves' popularity as if it was soemthing to consider when appointing a manager as you mentioned it was something 'not to be under-estimated'.

My point is that his popularity should not even come into it. Being popular might buy you a bit of credibility for a few weeks but it would soon vanish with players he does not pick and with supporters watching a losing team.

Popularity of candidates is the last thing that should be considered.

All that matters is results, he took Falkirk into the SPL for the first time in their history and kept them there for 4 years and took them to the cup final and into Europe. Then he took Hibs into Europe by finishing 4th. All of this playing a style of football that was very easy on the eye.

It's a no-brainer for me.
Not sure i agree that all that matters is results. The reason i maintain Buckle isn't the manager he thinks he is is because the budget he was given to work with in the BSP years was clearly very competetive. His achievement of getting us promoted was not the work of a miracle worker - it was the work of a manager with a healthy budget.

The results acheived are ultimately the most important stat, but there are reasons other than being a managerial genius that they can be achieved.
