Mark Hughes excels whilst Harry Redknapp fails again, as Shaun Wright-Phillips who had been linked to both clubs, has chosen Manchester City as his new home. The England mid has signed a new four year deal with City, which sees Wright-Phillips committing to the City campaign for the second time. Mark Hughes has picked up one hell of a signing, as Wright-Phillips will be perfect for the squad, as his injection of pace and goalscoring is just what Manchester City will need, should they hope to improve upon their placement of last season.

Mark Hughes admitted that Shaun Wright-Phillips was a major target for him, from day one, after taking the City manager job.  And given the subtle differences in his play from Chelsea to Manchester City, Mark Hughes may have something with the speedy winger.  Given that for Chelsea Wright-Phillips only received 43 starts overall, and alienated himself from being included in the England squad.  Whereas for City Wright-Phillips managed 181 appearances with 31 goals.  

But let me just ask, what was Harry Redknapp thinking? He didn’t want to pay the ten million pounds, so Portsmouth just stick with their current squad, despite the trouble of having no midfielder good enough to serve up the ball to Crouch and Defoe. So good luck on the current campaign Pompey, you’re starting off really great, given the 4-0 loss to Chelsea to kick off the season, and then getting dropped by United 1-0 on a Darren Fletcher goal.

So…that stupid of a decision by Redknapp and you’re not convinced Mark Hughes is a better manager, well here’s video proof of why Mark Hughes is the greatest manager in British football. Not counting Sir Alex Ferguson of course.
