Blackburn have given Manchester City permission to speak with Mark Hughes over becoming Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor as manager.

Within hours of Eriksson's departure being confirmed by an official City statement, Rovers released one of their own stating they had "reluctantly" let Hughes speak to the Blues over their vacancy.

"Mark has made it clear to the board he would like the opportunity to talk to Manchester City," read the statement on www.rovers.co.uk.
