Nah, Hughes will stay until the end of the season.

Why?

For the same reason he is still in a job. They have someone lined up to take over in the summer... possibly a high profile manager who doesn't want to leave his club in the lurch, or the prospect of winning the champions league this year.

Surprised he's lasted this long. My guess is that he's being left there to steer them to safety and then he'll go.

Latest press reports have Scolari taking over in the summer to cater to Robinho's conditions

I don't reckon so myself,

I think a move's been lined up for Robinho to go to Chelsea

I think he'll get the boot soon too. I think he's been doomed from the start though.

They have Scolari lined up,. Thats why he has stated he is not going to give up his house in London yet. He has stated he wants another prem job. All makes too much sense to me.

Someone on a radio show made an excellent point that Hughes has had success in the prem mainly becasue they were kicking people in the shins. How are you going to get guys like Robinho to do that?

Ironically the team that would fit Hughes perfectly is Portsmouth. Man City isn't safe yet, there are no really bad teams in the prem this year. I'm still thinking that 38-40pts could send you down this year.
