Hughes Shock Revelation, "Sand is Sandy"

Mark Hughes has ruled out a switch to the newly vacated managerial position at Tottenham Hotspur. It’s a bold move by the Blackburn gaffer who isn’t even under consideration for the position.

While it is well known that Martin Jol was sacked in favor of Seville coach Juande Ramos, Hughes wanted to assure Blackburn fans that he was going nowhere. Blackburn is the only team for me,” Hughes told jubilated fans before continuing, “No seriously. Nobody else will have me.” While is currently listed as the bookies second choice behind the already hired Ramos, it should be noted that it listed under his nickname “Other”.

Mark Hughes has a strong history of stating the obvious. His past proclamations have included such insights as “You have to score to win”, “Going into Old Trafford can be tough”, “The sky is blue”, “I will never be the Queen of England” and “My man perm was regrettable”.

Hughes has also ruled himself out of the positions at Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

I don't think Hughes was particularly 'stating the obvious'. There was quite a bit of speculation saying that Spurs may approach him and it's often best policy to appease home fans by stating that you are staying put. The speculation had been going on for quite some time as well.

Thank you very much. I am glad to see that Mental Institutions have web access:) But to answer your questions, yes the Onion has a sport section. They, like many Americans, don't know that people outside of american play sport.
