You would think so wouldnt you Majella, who will go in at Fulham now? Maybe Chris Hughton or Di Matteo?
Disagree, Villa is a sleeping Giant in England and this could be a good move for both Hughes and Villa.
Hughes: "I would also like to clarify neither myself or rep'ive have been approached by another club.Decision not influenced by 3rd party Of course you haven't Mark Fulham fan: "I hope he has as much success at Villa as Hodgson had at Liverpool."
Move to Villa for sure. Villa is a bigger club than Fulham, so it's a good move for Hughes, Some good players at Villa.
I have to agree... He must be on the move to Villa, he's not "big" enough for Chelski and most other teams in the Top 6-7 appear to be reasonably settled with their managers, unless the mancs are bringing him in to serve a 1 year apprenticeship under old whiskey nose obviously. Credit where it's due, he's not a bad manager though I'm not sure if he's quite ready for the big time so expect Villa is the most likely bet.
There's only one we're really after and he has already bid his farewells to the Villa fans so I can't see Hughes's imminent appointment making much of a difference.
Villa not considering Hughes Welshman not in running after Fulham departure Sky Sports sources understand that Mark Hughes is not in the frame to take charge of Aston Villa despite leaving his role as Fulham manager on Thursday evening. Gerard Houllier stepped down as Villa boss earlier this week to concentrate on his health and Villa immediately started searching for a replacement. Hughes' departure from Craven Cottage then fuelled speculation that he would be appointed as Houllier's successor in the near future. However, the Welshman insisted as he quit Fulham that he had not received an approach from anyone and that his decision had not been influenced by outside parties. And Sky Sports sources understand that Villa are not currently considering Hughes as they look to fill the vacant hot-seat. A number of other high-profile names have been linked with the position as Villa aim to build on a ninth-placed Premier League finish under Houllier. Source: Sky Sports
Jesus, thats some amount of club-hopping that Fat-Head and Hughes have both done in total, and they're both fairly young still. He did an ok job there. Nothing miraculous but solid and steady at the same time
Hughes's odds have changed from 1/10 on to 8/11.I would still put my money on it despite that statement.
