Hughes at Man City Can't Post or Reply Privately
Mark Hughes has been appointed as manager of Manchester City.

There will be a certain irony if a former Man United player leads City into the top 5 in England or to overtaking United in the Premier League, especially when you consider that the foundations of Man United's post-war fame and success were built by a former City player.

More likely to be a backward step for Hughes based on the treatment Eriksson got from Frank Sinatra!

Many suggested that Steve Bruce took a step backwards when leaving Birmingham City for Wigan Athletic. I am of the opinion that Bruce would have kept City up while Wigan would have been relegated before that managerial move, but who is to say for sure?

I think Hughes is on a hiding to nothing with the owner. Unless he gets top 4 then he'll be out just like Eriksson. However a contract pay-off is ample compensation.

Don't expect City to win the Fair Play League as they did last season with Hughes in charge.
This rules out of their main chance of qualifying for Europe.
Hopefully they will achieve another double over the Scum though!

Always admired Sparky as a player with Chelsea and even with Stretford. He was also impressive as Wales manager. City fans will not hold his time with the Scum against him - look how they re-adopted Denis Law!
(And remember what the Lawman's goal did to you-know-who after he returned to the Blues - that's the example to emulate, Sparky!)
