[Football] West Ham to move for Chris Hughton?

[BensGrandad]

Hopefully Leicester will win at West Ham tomorrow but not so sure that I want Pellegrino sacked yet I would sooner they wait until February.

Hmmm I'm beginning to get a trifle concerrned for Chris to be honest, he has been absent from the game for some considerable time now, and the longer that period goes on, the more he will fade from prospective employers minds.

As far as we know he hasn't applied for any vacany posts since Tony Bloom sacked him either. He is going to find it more and more difficult to get back in, that's always assuming he wants to of course.

Wasnt it suggested that CH was doing a Uni degree so perhaps doesnt wish to be back in football yet.

Hughton has been in discussions with several clubs this season -

With Watford - Hughton is ready to take on the role having held talks with the club and the coach is highly regarded by the decision makers at Vicarage Road.

With WBA - West Bromwich Albion plan to meet Chris Hughton next week to discuss the possibility of him becoming their manager.

With Sheff Wed - Chris Hughton has reportedly held talks with Sheffield Wednesday about succeeding Steve Bruce at Hillsborough.

With Stoke - Stoke made an enquiry for former Newcastle and Brighton boss Hughton to come in and revitalise their ailing team

It took about 2 mins just to find these ones - Hughton has also been linked with many others -

I suspect that the most likely job in the PL would be West Ham - if that doesn't materialise this season then it is possible he could take a Championship job next season - and he would probably have the pick of any job that became available.

Wet Sham will NOT appoint Chris IMHO. His ‘style’ the antithesis of theirs, and their fans would riot and tear the stadium down!

To be fair, you can understand why theyd turn their noses up at Chris given they’ve won four premier league titles, three champions leagues and two FA Cups by sticking to their West Ham Way principles

JRG must be wetting himself as to what's about to happen!!!!

Hughton is a great promotion manager from the Championship. He hasn't got the same reputation as a Premier League relegation fighting manager: it would be more of a gamble.

I'm just surprised he's not been snapped up by a Championship team. I would guess he's been asked, but is holding out for better.

 

[Driver8]

Will be Moyes I reckon.

 

[crodonilson]

Pellegrino sacked.

Moose on Talksport says they will now go and get Nuno Santo from Wolverhampton.

He's never been relegated as a manager.

Did an amazing job steering us from the Championship drop, and presided over 2 premier league seasons where we were never in the bottom 3.

He was in a table the other day on one of the sports channels as I think 7th worst manager in the PL over the last decade. Based on points per game I think.

I'm not doubting him. But I'd say his reputation generally in football is as a promotion and squad building manager rather than a Premier League manager - whether fairly or unfairly.

I'd like him to just get a Premier job so we could give him the reception he deserves.

The records confirm that but the evidence suggests that was because Norwich sacked him with 5 to go!

They can go for him. Going and getting him is another matter. Wolves have a credible shot at the Champions' League. West Ham are a basket case followed by the some of the most entitled supporters in the country. Hmm! Where would I go?

Moose seems to think it would be West Ham.

West Ham a total basket case club. Good luck to the new man with that stadium, Brady and the Dildo Brothers.

Had a MASSIVE £2 at 20-1

Seriously - at Newcastle Ashley spent less than £10million following promotion - Norwich who refuse to spend money (then and now) - and Brighton had a bottom 3 budget. Apart from a couple of games at the start of each season at Norwich and one game at the start of the first PL season at Brighton - Hughton's teams (3 of them) have never been in the relegation zone. For getting promotion with 2 teams from the Championship (and taking over one in their second season in the PL) that is an utterly remarkable achievement - go and look at the record of every single promoted team over the past 10 years and you will see what an achievement it is. Newcastle were 9th when Ashley sacked Hughton - his first season at Norwich they finished 11th and when he was sacked they were 5 points above the relegation zone with five games to play - At Brighton he had a 15th and a 17th finish - and for those last four seasons he was working with a bottom 3 budget. Defying those odds is very impressive.

It is a daft measure of how successful a manager is - over the past 10 years Hughton is one of the longest serving managers in the PL.

Brighton were in a much more precarious position last season than Norwich were - 5 points above relegation with 5 games to go - the Norwich board panicked (Bloom didn't) - and Hughton has always been adamant that he would have kept Norwich up. We don't know if he would have kept them up but we do know that they had been picking up points consistently throughout the season and went into freefall after sacking him.
