Mark Hughes is a strange man
Possibly the greatest moment in any ownership history?
Anybody else ever seen anything like this? Just sublime.
Anybody else ever seen anything like this? Just sublime.
An open letter from the Chairman, in response to media reports in Saturday’s newspapers incorporating comments from former Manager Mark Hughes:
What a strange man Mark Hughes is. Sacked by Manchester City, he was becoming a forgotten man when I rescued him to become manager of Fulham Football Club.
Even when results were bad, I did not put pressure on him. I gave him every support -- financial, moral and personal.
He fully negotiated a two-year extension to his contract. On the day he was due to sign, he walked out without the courtesy of a proper explanation.
And now he insults the club, saying it lacks ambition, and the players who delivered an 8th. position finish last season and a place in the Europa League.
He is not just disrespectful but entirely wrong. Fulham has just announced plans for a splendid new riverside stand that will substantially increase the capacity of Craven Cottage.
In every aspect of its work, Fulham is a progressive club with a top manager in Martin Jol, the man we had really wanted when Hughes was appointed.
We shall endeavour to prosper without him simply because, when the challenge came, it was not the Club but Mark Hughes who lacked the courage and ambition to take on the task of leadership. If people are looking for a flop, they only have to look no further than the man who has lost his spark.
Yours faithfully,
Mohamed Al Fayed,
Chairman,

This is hilarious i have to say, i guess he is the chairman, and can do and say what he wants on his own website, but still quite amazing that he actually has.

He wanted to become Chelsea manager. He must have been high at the time.
