Stoke City boss Mark Hughes turned down an offer from Crystal Palace last summer, it has been revealed.
It is claimed that Hughes was one of the top targets at Selhurst Park following the departure of Sam Allardyce, only to turn them down to stay in the Potteries.
Cascarino told talkSPORT: “The problem for Mark is that rumblings of discontent were happening at the end of last season.
“The fans renew their season tickets get excited about a new start … and then they have an indifferent period like Stoke have had.
“They've been really poor of late – and the rumblings turn into real discontent and quite a large number now want Mark out.
“Now Mark, to be fair, I know this. He had an opportunity to leave Stoke in the summer. He could have taken another job. Crystal Palace.
“I know he was one of the top targets for Crystal Palace. It didn't happen … and he's turned them down to stay with Stoke."
