[QUOTE="cyRil, post: 323149, member: 35759"] I've had this discussion with my housemates. When Hughes was sacked by City they were 4th in the league, in the semi-finals of a domestic competition and they had lost the least amount of games out of any team in the country. Admittedly they obviously weren't playing the attractive football the owners wanted, but even so, they were getting decent results - their only league defeat had been to a 96th minute winner at Old Trafford (The greatest moment of the season, may I add). So they sack him and bring in a 'recognisable' and 'successful' manager. My gran could have won Serie A with Inter when Mancini was in charge. I'm not saying he would have brought Champions League football to City - we'll never know - but he's definitely a better manager than some people here are giving him credit for. Benitez has almost single-handedly destroyed Liverpool FC, yet he's going to land the Inter job. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
