Hughes wanted to keep Terry bid "under radar"
Mark Hughes has expressed his irritation at Chelsea for going public with Manchester City's pursuit of John Terry.
Chelsea announced earlier this month that they had rejected a second offer from City for the England captain and have subsequently made it clear Terry is not for sale.
City are refusing to give up just yet on the defender with Hughes admitting they were willing to wait. But the fact the saga is now being played out in public appears to have frustrated the City boss.
Speaking on the club's pre-season tour of South Africa, he said: "The club made a bid for the defender but conflicting reports in the media caused an issue.
"We made a bid for John but we tried to keep it under the radar. Chelsea allowed the bid to enter the public domain and ever since I have been answering questions on the matter.
"There was no issue that needed to be raised."
