Confirming the pre-match speculation, Manchester City have sacked Mark Hughes despite their win against Sunderland.
Hughes has been replaced by Roberto Mancini with Brian Kidd installed as his Number 2.
I'm not a Blues fan but I wonder given the pressure of the role and the money available that it will not be a marriage made in heaven.
Hughes will no doubt get a fantastic pay off and I wouldn't be suprised to see him in a return to the Premiership sometime in the not too distant future.
A move across town maybe?
