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.

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.
