City lead Blues for Hughes

Hughes
MANCHESTER CITY last night overtook Chelsea in the race to land Mark Hughes.
SunSport can exclusively reveal Blackburn have been officially approached by City chiefs for permission to speak to their manager.
And Rovers are expected to give the go-ahead in an official statement today.
This will come as a major shock to Chelsea, who had Hughes high up on their shortlist to replace the axed Avram Grant.
It would leave the beaten Champions League finalists and Premier League runners-up desperately short of world-class candidates for their hotseat.
Hughes has already met with Rovers chairman John Williams, stating his intentions to leave the club for the challenge with City.Sven Goran Eriksson is expected to be officially sacked today — after less than a year in charge at Eastlands.
All that can stop City landing Hughes now is if Chelsea step in to try and grab their former player.
But Sparky does not wish to mess City around and both sides want the deal completed this week.
Williams already has Sam Allardyce at the top of his wanted list to replace Hughes.
