Man City right to back Hughes (0)
- 10 Nov 08, 12:15 PM
Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has moved swifly to silence growing whispers within football that City's unspectacular start to the season would persuade Abu Dhabi United Group to jettison Hughes and bring in their own man.
This qualifies as the dreaded vote of confidence - remember votes of confidence are always "dreaded" - and may even be regarded by some cynics as confirming their suspicions that Hughes is not booked in for the long haul at Eastlands.
But we have no cause to doubt the word of City's owners, and it is to be hoped they will stand by Hughes. They should keep an excellent emerging manager alongside them as they talk of building an Eastlands dynasty on their back of their financial firepower.
