Wonder how long until he is fired.
Most of us expected Hughes to be fired in the Summer, and it
looked as if the owners were going to patient team builders rather than attempting to simply buy the league. Now it looks as if they were after the latter despite all their lip-service to the former.
I feel sorry for Hughes but he must have seen the writing on the wall. His ruthless pursuit of Lescott (who has been worse, this season, than Dunne who left the club to make room), the fact he was allowed to spend £18 Million on Toure (whom Arsenal replaced, at half the cost, with the far superior Vermalen) were not the actions of a team concerned with slow, stable team building like Arsenal or United. It was a total of £200 million I believe he spent.
He also thought he could stop Adebayor from being the lazy, disruptive player he was at Arsenal but after Adebayor impressed in the first few games and Man City dropped off the pace he lost interest again and even Hughes simply dropped him for his final game at the Weekend. Tevez also showed why he was not a first team regular at United!
Bellamy and Given were his best signings and they were the ones who tried to stop him being fired.
