Just proved my point that Hughes man management skills were non existant.

Immaculate Pasta said:Martin Petrov was not one of those players who wanted to man the barricades when Mark Hughes was unceremoniously axed by Manchester City three weeks ago and replaced by suave Italian Roberto Mancini. Comeback kid: Martin Petrov has been in great form since Mark Hughes' departure
Perhaps Mancini’s biggest success to date is transforming the Bulgarian flyer from a sulky bystander who started only three games in five months under Hughes into one of the Premier League’s most in-form attackers.
‘Everything’s different for me now,’ admits Petrov, who will be 31 on Friday, as he prepared for tomorrow’s game with Blackburn.
‘I was frustrated with Mark Hughes as the manager and maybe I didn’t handle it very well. For the first time in my life I’d play well then get left out of the team. ‘I would sometimes go home and tell my wife we would have to leave. We were happy as a family in Manchester but my situation was not good at work.
'I was not getting a chance to play when I deserved to. Mark Hughes never explained why.
‘If the manager had not changed, I might have left in January. But in football things can change in one day. ‘We have three wins under Mancini with three clean sheets and I’ve played in all the matches so far.’

I don't think there's any doubting Hughes complete lack of man management skills.
True this I could not work out any sensible reason why Hughes used to leave out Petrov and tbh I think thats because there isn't one. Only an idiot would have a player like Petrov on the bench when he's ready, willing and able to do a great job on the pitch.Immaculate Pasta said:Martin Petrov was not one of those players who wanted to man the barricades when Mark Hughes was unceremoniously axed by Manchester City three weeks ago and replaced by suave Italian Roberto Mancini.

He is a sulker, no question, but we need his creativity in the next few games, if we are to link up the midfield with the attack and unlock defences. He is one of those player who can pull rabbits out of hats, and something we should award with a new contract. Hopefully RSC is fit soon so he can head in those lethal crosses from our Bulgarian.

Petrov playing more under Hughes would have meant less of Bellamy.
