Mark Hughes: I compromised my values at City

Fulham boss Mark Hughes has admitted that he sometimes found it difficult to manage Manchester City.

The ex-Manchester United forward was relieved of his duties at Eastlands ten months ago after failing to impress the club's cash-rich owners.

He told the Daily Mail:"It's good to be at a club now where I'm not being pulled in different directions.

"Eventually, I understood it was a feeling of relief that it was over (at City). I wasn't enjoying it there at the end. I had no bitterness, no regrets, but I was relieved to be away.

"How was I treated? At times, I had support. At times, I needed support and I didn't get it. And then there were times when support that was there was withdrawn, especially towards the end.

"I toed the party line more than I should. I compromised my own values more than I should. It won't happen again but I'll say this – it's made me a better manager."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
