The appointment of Steve Coppel was a piss take.

While Hughes played for the rags was not United through and through had some of his best years at Chelsea and abroad. Thought he did a fair job and deserved more time. Above all he signed Vinny.i was against Mark Hughes at our club at first but he wasnt doing that bad if im honest.
Obviously the way he was outed from the club wasn't nice.

As someone once wrote
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

Manchester City, ruining marriages since 1996.Reading between the lines of what's been written subsequently it seems pretty clear that his marriage was failing and he was suffering quite badly from stress and anxiety. The state the club was in at the time probably didn't help.

Haha, he was doing diabolically given the resources he had, we'd won 1 in about 12 games if I remember rightly.
definitely wasn't that bad

Also signed Zaba....and Ben HaimWhile Hughes played for the rags was not United through and through had some of his best years at Chelsea and abroad. Thought he did a fair job and deserved more time. Above all he signed Vinny.
Hughes spent a fair amount on new defenders and a new keeper but we proceeded to concede 3 goals to Burnley, Bolton, Sunderland and Spurs in a very short time. Other than Spurs these clubs were crap at the time. The performance against Spurs was spineless. He had to go.
Nevertheless, some of his purchases proved to be excellent in the hands of Bobbymanc e.g. Lescott, VK, Zabba.

I knew where you got your info from before l replied. It might be right but l prefer to believe my own source who is someone literally ITK at the club.
No matter who is right or wrong there was no need to finish your first reply with a smart arsed remark and my main point that Francis Lee was stupid enough to at least offer a significant amount of money at a time City were deep in debt and a laughing stock still stands.
I could copy you and finish with another 'unless you..... ......whatever' type of remark but its all a bit silly.
Just listened to the Francis Lee interview on the 'Official Man City Podcast' - he says he offered Coppell 'some compensation' but that he refused to accept it.
