Inverness CT manager John Hughes is poised to part company with the club just 12 months after leading them to their first Scottish Cup success. Eric Kendricks Jersey . Reports in the Scottish media claim Hughes will leave the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium following a breakdown in his relationship with club chairman Kenny Cameron.Hughes is under contract until 2018, but the Press & Journal claims the two parties are negotiating an agreement which will see the former Falkirk and Hibernian boss exit the club. The 51-year-old is said to have become increasingly frustrated at the loss of key players from his squad, claiming he has not been given the budget to replace them.And after leading Inverness to the Europa League qualifiers for the first time at the start of the campaign, the club finished seventh in the table. John Hughes (l) and Inverness CT chairman Kenny Cameron with the Scottish Cup Hughes had made a new contract for leading-scorer Miles Storey his summer priority following a successful season-long loan from Swindon, during which the striker scored 13 goals in 36 appearances.But the 22-year-old decided to sign a two-year contract with Scottish Premiership rivals on Tuesday.Former Celtic assistant manager John Collins, who previously worked as Hughes director of football at Livingston, believes Inverness will struggle to find a better replacement.John Hughes has done an unbelievable job at Inverness. He took on a team that was a long-ball side which played no football and he very quickly moulded them into a total football team, Collins told the Press & Journal. They got to the League Cup final in his first season and lost on penalty kicks to Aberdeen. In the second season they beat Celtic in the semi-final and won the Scottish Cup. On top of that he has sold players and made players better. What he has done with average players, no support, no training ground, no sports science and no video analysis is incredible. If Inverness lose John then it will be a huge loss to them. Also See: Inverness fixtures Inverness stats Scottish Prem table Minnesota Vikings Jerseys .

When Reyes signed a US$106-million, six-year deal with Miami last month, there was speculation Ramirez was unhappy about being supplanted at short. But new manager Ozzie Guillen sold Ramirez on the idea.PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Gary Bettman has always been careful not to get fans hopes up in cities that want an NHL franchise. That continued Tuesday when the commissioner reiterated the league has no official expansion plans in the offing. It wont happen for the 2014-15 season and maybe not even in 2015-16, but that hasnt stopped the calls from pouring in. "Were getting lots of expressions of interest, and no decisions have been made to do anything other than listen," Bettman said after the leagues board of governors meeting wrapped up. We havent embarked on a formal expansion process, but when people want to talk to us, we listen." If the NHL listens and decides to move forward with expanding at some point in the near future, Quebec City, Seattle and Toronto figure to be the front-runners. But Bettman insisted theres no ranking of potential cities and that no decision has been made to expand. Thats despite uneven conferences right now -- 16 teams in the East and 14 in the West -- that deputy commissioner Bill Daly conceded was a bit of misalignment. Getting up to 32 would make for four divisions of eight teams each and solve the disparity in playoff odds. It seems like a natural move, especially considering the expansion fees the NHL could get. But Bettman said a few things must be looked at before considering a place. "When theres an expression of interest, you look at three factors predominately, show-stoppers so to speak," he said. "You want to understand the market and can it support NHL hockey? Would it be a good addition to the league? Two, youve got to have an arena andd three, and perhaps most important, it comes down to ownership. Stefon Diggs Jersey . " Ownership is one of the keys to the NHLs success in the big picture. Bettman was quick to point to negative attention around the Phoenix Coyotes and how theyve been sold along with the Florida Panthers and New Jersey Devils within the past six months. "My my, how far weve come since the summer, when all the articles and speculation were about all these franchises that were supposedly in trouble, which we never believed were," Bettman said. "The franchises have never been stronger. So we went from relocation in your view and distress to now we should be expanding. Everybody needs to slow down. We dont operate like that. Everything in due course. If, in fact, theres a due course to pursue." The city of Markham, Ontario, recently struck down plans to build an NHL-ready arena as the league made it clear it should not happen with the hopes of getting a team. An arena is being built in Quebec City, and one could be on the way in Seattle to lure an NBA team, as well. "I clearly have acknowledged that the Pacific Northwest has a strong interest in hockey," Daly said of the Seattle expansion possibility. As of now everything is just a possibility. But just drawing interest isnt a bad thing. "The fact is there are lots of expressions of interest from lots of different places and thats great, its gratifying," Bettman said. "It shows the business and the game are healthy because there is so much interest and people want to be a part of the game and invest in the game."
