Al Fayed hits out at ‘insulting flop’ Hughes

FULHAM chairman Mohamed Al Fayed has blasted former manager Mark Hughes, labelling him a “strange man” and a “flop”.

The former Manchester City boss was at the Craven Cottage helm last season but left in the summer, with speculation linking him with the managerial vacancy at Aston Villa.

Hughes claimed at the weekend he did not quit for the Villa Park post eventually filled by Alex McLeish but because Fulham lacked ambition.
