Man City manager Hughes: I'm going nowhere

Earlier reports said Hughes was on the brink to quit the job due to the uncertain future of the club after former Thai premier; Thaksin Shinawatra; the club owner, jumped the bail in Thailand and the Thai court already issued arrest warrants for him and his wife.

The club's owner is now seeking refuge in Britain. His money has still frozen at the order of Thai court. Many believed that Thaksin will not have money for Hughes to spend to buy football players.

Hughes said, "There have been a lot of rumours flying around but I am not going anywhere and I don't anticipate going anywhere," said Hughes.

"There is a job to do here and I am looking forward to it."

He told club website, www.mcfc.co.uk: "There is speculation around the club and that has been prevalent since I joined the club but from my own point of view I am very focused on what I am about and what I aim to achieve here and that means success on the pitch.

 "Nothing whatsoever has changed in that respect and the football operation hasn't changed since I signed for the club. Nor has my relationship with Garry Cook and his team. We get on really well and continue to speak on a daily basis.

"I am the guy that makes the decisions in relation to the football, and they make the decisions in relation to the running of the club."

Man City's executive chairman Garry Cook has stated that Thaksin remains committed to his "10-year vision" for the club.
