Hughes On £2 Million Bonus To Keep Saints Up

Mark Hughes is reportably about to be announced as the next Saints manager and those in the know in the media are saying he is going to be on big bucks.

The usually reliable media sources are all saying the same things about the next Saints boss, that it will be Mark Hughes and he will take charge of the squad for training on Thursday morning with the announcement set to be made some time late on Wednesday evening.

It is unclear yet what length of contract Hughes will be on, but the media are saying that he will be on a big bonus to keep Saints in the Premier League and it could be as muc as £2 million.

That is small change if he can do the job given the big money Saints will continue to earn as a Premier League club.

So it is all eyes on the news channels this evening.
