Manchester CityFinal game: Manchester City 4-3 SunderlandDate: December 19, 2009

National newspapers were reporting that Hughes would be axed regardless of the Sunderland result. Roque Santa Cruzs 69th-minute winner saw City edge past 10-man Sunderland. But with the club 11 points behind league leaders Chelsea, the Etihad hierarchy relieved Hughes of his duties.Billionaire Sheikh Mansour bought City in September 2008 and gave Hughes close to 200 million to spend on players, which included, at the time, a record-breaking British transfer fee of 32.4 million for Robinho.Mark Hughes bowed out of Manchester City with a win7

Hughes, who had been linked with the Aston Villa vacancy, resigned less than a month later. He revealed he left Fulham because my ambition for where I wanted to take the club was not matched.That comment did not go down well with Fulham owner Mohamed Fayed, who hit back, calling Hughes a strange man and a flop.

Queens Park RangersFinal game: QPR 1-3 SouthamptonDate: November 17, 2012

After successfully keeping QPR up the season before, Hughes was given huge funds to spend on players for the 2012/13 season.
