Hughes cost himself the job. For me Hughes was tactically inept - his tactics and substitutions were poor and generally he was poor, I think he deserved to go at the end of November - inline with the rumoured talks with other managers for the position.
He was never the owners choice so the writing was always on the wall for him, but they did back him with all the transfers he wanted - all they needed was an excuse and 2 wins in 11 was just the job.
Now lets get the man the sheik wants, and watch what money he gives Mancini - we will fly up that league.
Get your Money on Hughes to take over at Bolton - a job that is not too big for him....
