Comments on: Hughes Sacked: Reaction http://www.setpieceanalysts.com/20091219/hughes-sacked-reaction/ Analysis and opinion of the world's game Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:36:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: john http://www.setpieceanalysts.com/20091219/hughes-sacked-reaction/comment-page-1/#comment-164 john Sun, 20 Dec 2009 05:25:15 +0000 http://www.setpieceanalysts.com/?p=550#comment-164 The truth is Mark HUGHES job was already hanging in the balance right after City’s purchase by the people from Abu Dhabi. Let’s face it, these billionaires was not looking at somewhat a mediocre personality like Starky to take their club at the next level. As a matter of fact, the purchase of Roque Santa CRUZ did not go down well with the board of directors as they were looking at somewhat bigger names to come in. Can Roberto MANCINI be the man that their looking for? Maybe yes, maybe not. Though he had great success with Inter but those were the times when clubs like Juventus and AC Milan were suffering from the Italian match fixing scandal. Furthermore he already had in what perhaps the best squad at the San Siro at his disposal. So in the end, only time will tell. The fact is clear that this City side should have performed way better than they are doing right now. It’s still not too late to salvage something from this season. The League Cup could be a great prospect. But in the end, the main target should be for a place at the Champions League next season. Or else all their investment from this season will be just wasted.
