Please no just no, I can't take more painstakingly boring football. Anyone but Hughton please.

I'm not sure about Hughton. He did really well at Newcastle. Took them up (obviously with a very large budget) and then stabilised them in the Premier League and I think was unlucky to be sacked. He also did well at Birmingham to get them to the play offs after relegation. At Norwich, he kept them up for a couple of years but even then Norwich fans I know didn't rate him. Then he spent loads of money on Van Wolfswinkel, among others, and had a terrible season.
On the plus side, he has Championship experience and must have quite a lot of contacts, which is what I think we need. However, he wouldn't be my top choice.

Looks like it's a case of 'needs must'.
Did anyone mention Hughton yesterday I wonder?

You can just imagine the press conference. Tony Bloom "We don't really rate Chris but he's the only one who'd take the job at the moment. We're just not going to let him buy any £7 million strikers"

Right now I couldn't a flying f*** who it is, or the style of football they play. Just get us moving upwards again please.

Not sure that's true now. I would have agreed with you before Burke went but I think he's gone for exactly that reason. We really need an experienced manager and they will want control. Burke's departure means they will have that.
Sherwood is an interesting one. He's got no experience of this situation and may go badly wrong. At the start of the season, he would have been a much more interesting option than now when we're battling against relegation.

The added bonus if it is Hughton is that he may go for Elliott Bennett permenantly and play him in his best position.

I know for a fact that Hughton has already been approached by us and is interested.

Based on just my own personal opinion and nothing to do with football neither thanks, I don't like Pulis based on wearing baseball caps, & I just don't like Hughton based purely on I just think he sounds boring and uninspiring. There you go honestly sometimes people just don't like other people and will instantly take a disliking to them and very rarely can you be persuaded otherwise and on both counts I can't see me changing my opinion, but hey who cares what I think.

Hughton would be a terrible appointment please no, Bloom don't subject us to more turgid football from this passionless dullard.
I might have to start on the Hughton out banners for tomorrow.
