Mark Hughes’ comments only likely to further sour relationship with Bradford City support: View

Many Bradford City supporters will be aware of Mark Hughes, having endured his management of the club. A management reign that ended with the club placed 18th in League Two at the time.

Since then, the former Bantams boss has commented on his departure from the club after 19 months in charge at Valley Parade, in which its clear that Hughes still doesn’t agree with the decision.

Although Hughes, also known as Sparky, is best remembered for his incredible playing career and for overseeing the early days of Manchester City’s rise to the top of the game, Bradford fans will remember him as the huge name that failed to deliver promotion. Some of the fanbase especially look back at his decision to substitute Scott Banks in the play-off semi-final as a terrible decision.

Hughes left Bradford and has since been replaced by Graham Alexander, who is much more suited to League Two management. Furthermore, the Scot will be hopeful he can go one better than Hughes and finally take the Bantams back up the divisions to where they arguably belong.

With that said, let’s examine what Hughes has said recently and briefly re-examine his time as Bradford City manager.
