No surprises: Veteran Giggs has lamented the state of modern football[LNB]Ryan Giggs does not feel Mark Hughes' treatment at Manchester City should come as a surprise to any prospective manager.[LNB]In the wake of Hughes' exit from Eastlands, Sunderland manager Steve Bruce suggested the dismissal, coming in the wake of a 4-3 victory over the Black Cats and 17 matches into a Premier League season that has seen City suffer just two defeats, could put young coaches off entering the management game.[LNB]It is not a problem Giggs has to deal with, having just signed another one-year contract at Manchester United that will see him complete two decades at Old Trafford.[LNB]But, while he feels for Hughes, a team-mate for both United and Wales, Giggs is not convinced Bruce's theory will prove to be correct.[LNB]'It is the football world we live in. There is not much patience around now. Managers know that going into a job after a few bad results, the press and the fans will get on to them.[LNB]'You don't have as much time as you did 10 or 15 years ago. That is difficult when you are trying to build a team[LNB]'But all managers find themselves in that situation now. Sparky did a relatively good job at City but he is no different.'[LNB] Manchester City's sacking of Mark Hughes was unacceptable, blasts United boss Sir Alex FergusonVIDEO: Sir Alex Ferguson slams 'unacceptable' Manchester City over sacking of Mark HughesMANCHESTER CITY FC
