I wouldn't expect anything different.
TBF to Sparky the Man City job is a poisoned chalice. For me he has them progress just about well enough to keep his job. You don't turn into a title winning team overnight unless you have somebody like Mourinho in charge. Probably the worst thing about him leaving, if the story is confirmed at 1930, is that taking the Citeh job has probably ruined his chance of taking over from Fergie when he retires.
Mourinho only took Chelsea from second place to first. I don't think even he would expect to take Citeh to the top 2.
The Citeh job was a good job for Hughes to take at the time. He's done okay, but IMO the different targets of the new owners have made his position unsafe. I think he emerges from this, if he does go now, pretty well. Most chairman will have sympathy for his position and put it down to the change in ownership.
I think United fans would see past him managing Citeh if he was to prove himself as a manager. Citeh fans got over him being ex United and Chelsea. He's still an ex United playing legend at the end of the day. If he's a managerial success I think United fans would love for him to come back as manager.
