Sparky takket nei til Macc
Mark Hughes har avslått et tilbud om å bli spillende trener i Macclesfield Town.
 
Den tidligere Barcelona-, Manchester United-, Bayern Munchen-, Everton-, Chelsea- og Blackburn-spilleren velger heller å konsentrere seg om en karriere som heltidsmanager for Wales. David Moss hadde håpet å overtale Hughes, som bor i utkanten av Macclesfield til å signere enn ’pay-as-you-play’-avtale:
 
"It's a shame that he has decided to do this really. It would have been fantastic for a club like Macclesfield Town to have landed a player of that pedigree and quality. It would certainly have made people sit up and take notice and encouraged a few more people to come along and have a look at us. But more than that, I think he would have had a great deal to offer us on the pitch. I think he would have enjoyed it here but he has obviously decided that the time is right for him to concentrate on his managerial career and good luck to him."
