Mark Hughes has rejected the notion that Manchester City's
season will be regarded as a failure if they finish outside the
top four. The Blues are currently sixth after a run of five
draws, but Hughes is not unduly concerned at this point. "With
the resources we have, people are saying the top four is the
minimum requirement. That is actually not the case," said
Hughes. "The clubs you have to overcome to get there are not
just the best teams in the Premier League, they are also some of
the best teams in the world."
