Until this week, I would have said "Sparky" was a shoo-in to be the next boss of Man United when Fergie retires in two years' time. I doubt whether the Old Trafford fans will be too keen on that idea now.

Why, Sparky?
Mark Hughes will shortly be giving his first press conference as the new boss of Manchester City. If I was going to be there, I'd simply ask him: Why?

Maybe that's exactly why Hughes did it - being Fergie's immediate successor will probably be one of the worst jobs in football (unless, of course, Fergie has a fit of madness in the transfer market to rival that of Summer 03....)
ReplyDeleteHard to see United going for someone without coaching management experience in the Champions League - the bar has been raised during the Premier League years.
ReplyDeletewhy is Mark Hughes called 'Sparky'
ReplyDeleteI don't know, why is he called 'Sparky?' Because it rhymes with 'Marky?' Because he had a bit of a temper when he was a player? Because he was a good 'match' for Gary Lineker? Anyone's guess.
