Following their 2-1 defeat at home to Spurs yesterday, the club’s new owners are already talking about replacing the former Manchester United star.
Reports also suggest star players like Robinho, Elano and Jo does not like Hughes’ management style.
Hughes said: “The chairman was round my house last night to talk about where we want to take the club and it was all very positive.”
A source close to the club owners said last night: “Hughes has not got long. Even if he had beaten Spurs his job was in jeopardy — now losing has taken him to the edge.”
