MIRROR: Hughes 'to quit Fulham for Villa this morning'

Mark Hughes was this morning preparing to resign as Fulham boss in order to succeed Gerard Houllier at Aston Villa, according to sources.

Fulham were this morning refusing to confirm that Hughes was still in his post.

Though Fulham were bullish about keeping Hughes yesterday, he is understood to be ready to step down in the next few hours.

We better have a replacement lined up, and better slap £25 mil price tags on Bobby's, Moussa's and Hangeland's heads... I can definitely see Hughes trying to raid us.

No, he's not class, neither a great player, he's nothing at the moment, just a promising player, JUST THAT.

Dembélé is one of the classiest players we've had in years. In a few years time he'll be off to win titles with somebody.

Agree completely except the "he will be off" bit.

So, there's what? 27 people on this thread who believe something printed in the Mirror?

[JBH]

There is more truth printed in a Harry Potter book than in the Mirror  :028:

why would you do that, we all the know the site has to go down to announce new signings etc, so losing a manager i would expect it to disappear and then come back trying to flog last seasons 3rd kit as if nothing had happened.
