There's nothing in that article that slates City or Mark Hughes. The journalist is more or less just reporting what Jo said, he isn't even offering an opinion on it!
It's well written and puts the players side of things across clearly.
Some people have got just a bit paranoid about the press .
Mammutly I dont think its an outright attack on City mate, but i do think that basically it is a non story designed to show City/Hughes/Mansour in a bad light and something that taylor loves to do to City, go on his profile and look at his archive of stories about us, it proves its not paranoia. He wrote a load of tripe about the M*nich Anniversary derby last year. Taylor is making out that Jo has been on fire for everton and look how good he is havent city lost out on a great player, he hasnt, he scored two (one a last minute penalty on his debut with the game sewn up) on his first game and one since. I've a mate who's a season ticket holder at everton and he says he's p1ss poor. I actually think he could have been alright, his movement is good, nice touch etc but he doesnt seem to like the physical side, but thats
NOTthe point in this case.
Also i do think that maybe Hughes could have dealt with things differently but i suspect there was more going on than just he didnt rate him. There was a lot of hints about the clique of brazilians at the start of the year which hughes needed to address, it seems he did that by shipping out jo.
