Man city in turmoil

MARK HUGHES is facing a players’ rebellion as Manchester City’s season slumps towards crisis.

And Robinho has been singled out as the main reason for his team-mates’ anger.

Several City players held an unofficial meeting this week to discuss their growing resentment towards both Hughes and the Brazilian.

They are upset at some of City’s tactics and feel there is one rule for the £34million superstar and another for the rest.

And some of the older players feel they are being sidelined by Hughes.

They believe he wants to surround himself with younger players who will not question his methods or raise questions about tactics, formations and training methods.

One source close to several City stars said: “The players are furious Robinho swans around doing basically what he wants — and the boss lets him get away with it.

“He thinks he’s untouchable and Hughes hasn’t done anything to show that he’s not. Many of the players think he doesn’t dig in for the team, that he’s injured too often and is picking and choosing his games.”

According to some City insiders, Hughes knows Robinho seems to have a hot-line to the club’s Arab owners which is why the boss treads carefully around the Brazilian. Our source added: “Hughes is a great one for squad unity but he’s making Robinho a special case.”

He's prob being pressured into having to play him after all the money spent etc.Hmm wonder where else that happened....

Sorry but the whole 'I'll let Hughs do stuff' is prob a load of crap from the owner

I dont beleive this to be honest. I hope Manc City relegates, that way we can get Robinho. Hughes to go, Mancini/Rijkaard to come.
