Mark Hughes says he's far happier at Fulham than he was with Manchester City.
There are those who believe successor Roberto Mancini was installed with indecent haste and in a way which disrespected Hughes, although the Welshman does not believe that he was handed an impossible job by the City owners.
He said: "I felt the targets were attainable that year. Expectations around Manchester City at the moment are off the scale. I understood that.
"Every day they were edging up the scale and you had to go with it and deal with it.
"In many ways Fulham is in a far better position than Manchester City was when I walked through the door. That's credit to what has been in place here.
"I got bogged down (at City) trying to address areas of the footballing operation which weren't up to standard.
"There's a different feeling here. They (the Fulham board) understand what it takes to be successful in the Premier League and everybody's pushing in the right direction."
