hi Arthur

You have to pay to get the best these days and that doesn't come cheap !!
It is reputed that Ancellotti get £6 million when his contract was ended !!!

The managers make more money out of being unsuccessful than they do for doing a good job. Exit clauses and severance pay are important parts of the equation.

I'd do it for you as long as Villa would cancel my contract before the season starts and that would only cost them £1 million.

I think you are a little harsh on Hughes. He can't produce miracles - he has really had nothing to work with except when he was at Man City and there he was in the process of building a team.

Cheers
