The day after Houllier leaves Villa but he claims no other club is involved. Yeh sure Mark, we believe you!!! He had a go at Man City for not being committed to him, now he does this to Fulham. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13628221.stm Fulham boss Mark Hughes has resigned after less than 11 months in charge at Craven Cottage. Hughes has been linked with the vacant manager's job at Aston Villa, although Villa have denied making any contact with the Welshman. The 47-year-old also denied that he had been approached by another club before choosing to quit. "As a young, ambitious manager I wish to move on to further my experiences," he said. That last line really gripes with me. His ego really does seem to be getting bigger with time.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11677_6963886,00.html Sky Sports sources understand that Mark Hughes is not in the frame to take charge of Aston Villa despite leaving his role as Fulham manager on Thursday evening. Gerard Houllier stepped down as Villa boss earlier this week to concentrate on his health and Villa immediately started searching for a replacement. Hughes' departure from Craven Cottage then fuelled speculation that he would be appointed as Houllier's successor in the near future. However, the Welshman insisted as he quit Fulham that he had not received an approach from anyone and that his decision had not been influenced by outside parties. And Sky Sports sources understand that Villa are not currently considering Hughes as they look to fill the vacant hot-seat. A number of other high-profile names have been linked with the position as Villa aim to build on a ninth-placed Premier League finish under Houllier.
