How about because he is in a no win situation at the moment?
I have given Hughes some awful stick at times this season but I cant see how he can do anything different that wont lead to getting the stick he gets after every away performance.
The fact is he has a number of players there that when not playing at COMs simply do not have the stomach for any sort of a battle, they are great when we are at home and they are given time and space to do their party pieces but away from home when the pressure is on they do not want to know, the main culprit is Robinho without doubt yet what can Hughes do? If he drops the most expensive footballer in Premier League history and we get beat then the fans will be on his back saying "how can you leave Robinho out, sack Hughes hes an idiot" or he plays Robinho and we get beat the fans say "Robinho did nothing again, sack Hughes hes an idiot". Elano is another, people have been saying for weeks how great Elano is and how he should be playing yet he plays and the guy cant make a simple 5 yard pass nevermind completing any of his constant attempts at the Hollywood pass, yet again the blame falls on Hughes.
As I stated I have given Hughes as much stick as the next blue at times this season but I really dont believe that he can do much when no matter what decision he makes the outcome is its his fault!
I am also tired of the constant knee-jerk reactions, we had been on a nice little run and everyone is saying how great we are and how when we win on Saturday we are in 7th and only 6 points behind Everton. Saturday comes, we get beat and we are awful, all of a sudden the fixture list looks harder than it did 90 minutes earlier, we might still get relegated and Hughes should be sacked! Every week its the same, if we win we are a bunch of World beaters and if we lose we are the worst team to have ever played the game! Only at City!

I disagree tbh mate, i think if his tactics were correct and he picked the right team for each game then we would win and he would not be in a lose - lose situation.
I think its unfair to single out Robinho and Elano, nobody played well today and nobody showed any real fight today. Thats all down to Hughes, he has to install a work ethic and team spirit and he has got neither. This is unquestionably his team now. 12 players in for £118mil!! he is flat out of excuses.
The problems lie in the system which doesnt fit the personnel, we arnt getting the ball to Elano, RObinho, Ireland in areas where they can be effective. These players should be receiveing the ball in the final 1/3, not having to come deep and collect the ball or try and win high bals against players 5/6 inches taller than them!

Im sure we could but again its knee-jerk reaction, I dont see people asking for a poll when City have just won!
Unfortunately it pans out like this
If we win the comments on here go something like this
"Great performance, wasnt Robinho amazing today?"
"Best Ive seen us play for a long time, Ireland was magnificent"
"Did you see Elano today, World Class"
Absolutely no mention of Hughes' input on the performance!
We get beat
"Hughes out"
"Hughes is clueless, sack him now"
"Can we have a poll on how long Hughes has left?"!
We win its nothing to do with Hughes, we lose its all his fault!
