Keano: Hughes shouldn’t have gone to City
Roy Keane believes Mark Hughes is better off after being sacked as Manchester City manager, and should never have taken the job to begin with.
The often outspoken Ipswich boss thinks the length of time Hughes spent at Manchester United should have made him turn down the City job, in which he lasted 18 months.
”I’m disappointed for him of course I am,” he told Sky Sports News.
“I think when you’re involved with a club like United, as Sparky was over his career, you shouldn’t go to a club like City. I think you should try and get employment somewhere else. I think Sparky is probably better off.”
Keane did however, reserve praise for Hughes, who he believes to be a top manager.
“Hopefully he’s enjoying his break and he’ll come back because he’s a top manager,” he added. ”He did a great job at Blackburn and Wales. He’ll go on to be a top manager no doubt about that, but he’s probably better off out of City.”

Loved our Roy ending with, “I’d have nothing to do with them”. The following needs to be said about City, too:
Great club and supporters. Surviving for so long on a sense of victimhood, the mythical evils of United and a sympathy readily offered up by others in football from their own anti-United sentiments, both perpetuated their own classical myth of being a “proper” club with “proper” fans. Now we have the reality.
Today infested with the arrogance of parvenus and with not a dirham of their pelf genuinely earned the pre-existent shallowness is revealed.
Never wanting Hughes as manager in the first place and glisteningly shedding any further pretence at honour on the takeover, some now try to justify the disgusting treatment of one of English football’s contemporary greats. Apart from those whose silence is rooted in the fear of tribal chastisement. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Everything they concocted about United then condemned them with has come home to roost. The irony being how grotesquely true it all is about City and enough of its followers. And all of English football knows it.
