Blackburn boss to join Manchester City and raid his old club?

There’s a pattern emerging here. Jose Mourinho leaves Chelsea, waits in the wilderness for a bit, then signs up for Inter. All of a sudden, speculation is rife that Lampard, Drogba, Essien, Cole, Terry and Cech (but not Sheva) could all be joining the arrogant loudmouth at his new club. Next thing, Mark Hughes is given permission to speak with Manchester City and, wait for it, the Daily Mirror put 2 + 2 together to come up with the below:
Once Hughes is installed as City boss, one of his first acts will be to try to persuade England midfielder Bentley and prolific goal-scorer Santa Cruz to move with him.
City tried to sign Santa Cruz last summer but were beaten to his capture by Blackburn, while £10m-rated Bentley has emerged as one of the country’s most impressive midfield talents.
Ten out of ten for predictability guys. Although it would be ironic if Hughes was to snare Bentley, especially as he has made recent utterances regarding the winger needing to honour his contract and be loyal to the club! If I were a Blackburn fan, I would be concerned by the news that Hughes is leaving and even more so if Rovers’ two best players jump off a potentially sinking ship.

i think mark hughes is being greedy
going to man city will ruin his career as a manager
he is doing well at rovers, and i feel he has no reason to leave.
he is only going for the money,
the rovers fans will be devastated.

To be fair, he’s been loyal enough to Rovers. He had one or two years left on his contract and he’s done wonders with that budget of his. If he was given the same money as Rafa….he’d have won the title.
Mark Hughes is looking at a bigger transfer budget that Rovers cannot provide. He’s thinking big, and he has to. It’s a bit of a risk though, because Shina will be looking at either the uefa cup or a top 4 finish next season.
Not sure what the scum fans think about this though. Surely this will not go down well with alex ferguson who might have lined him up as a replacement.
