on forums of football teams in turmoil. it's a bit sick really, like looking at road traffic accidents.
here's my take on your current plight. i feel for mark hughes, he's got one hell of a job on at your place. he's come into manage a side that started to slide at the end of last season. he has a team there that has an embroidery of talent in it's first team but lacks the all over material to finish the dress- always the bridesmaid. On top of that he has to reassure the current playing staff that they are wanted whilst simultaneously looking at signing their replacements, even if he signs the creme from around the globe with the billions on offer, he still wont develope a squad, not of the current crop, other than the likes of shaun wright-phillips, ireland, dunn will stay on to be put on the bench.
i can only see things getting worse at city, unfortunately. A because i doubt he'll be given time to turn it around (wether you stay up or not) and B because it's hard to attract anyone other than mercenaries when you are offering big wages in such an unattractive league position. What you need is a good cup run, get some hunger and joy in the club and build slowly. i doubt there is a quick fix despite the money available.
