Colin Calderwood appointed as Hughton's assistant

[severnside gull]

Good.
Now we can move forward efficiently

 

[Munkfish]

I hope Nathen stays now unless he can find a management role elsewhere, Could be a Job at Yeovil next season.

 

[catfish]

Important that Hughton was able to make his own appointment.

 

[Gully Forever]

Shame it wasn't Nathan. I hope he is still happy with the set-up.

I don't think two games in charge and better performances from the team was enough to take that kind of risk!.

 

[Rookie]

As long as it doesn't drive Jones out (lesser role etc) it would seem a good appointment. Disappointed that it seems the continental approach has gone (can't see us going for many more Spanish players).

 

[BensGrandad]

Pleased with this appointment. I feel it was having an inexperienced No2 that killed off SH. I suggested Lennie Lawrence but was told he was too old sacked by Bolton etc but now No2 to Freedman again but at Forest. It is always good for the manager to have a No 2 he knows and trusts, as CH has chosen.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

No reason for Nathan to go - he is in the same role as Charlie Oatway.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Good appointment until we start losing, at which point he'll probably become some sort of inverted NJ;

- 'Why was CH allowed to pick his own No.2, it clearly hasn't worked'
- 'He's too experienced and wants the top job, should be given to a coach'
- 'Why isn't it someone who knows the club and understand the fans?'
- 'Wer'z der PASSION?'

Etc.

The Nathan who said to Hyppia I know Kaz, you don't, lets play him centre midfield....

No, the Nathan who was overruled by the manager (Sami) who for 4 months of defeats, refused to play anything but a Christmas Tree 4321, using our most creative wide players through the middle and our full backs as wingers. Coincidentally the same Nathan without a loss against his name as caretaker manager.

 

[mikeyjh]

Antti Niemi? He's Finnish.

 

[Zebedee]

A good appointment - now perhaps we can appoint some decent players on loan.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

If you don't understand it in English, you get it in Welsh and if that fails, smacked over the heed in Scottish.

 

[Jim Bob]

Good appointment i reckon plenty of experience and picked by Houghton which is important, he is bringing in someone who he works well with.

Been first team coach for last 18 months or so

 

[Fef]

who on earth is JOAQUIN GOMEZ?1

He's been on the coaching staff since Oscar's time.

 

[kevtherev]

I suspect Jones will end up taking a managers job in Div 1 or 2 soon, maybe at the end of the season. He has certainly earned his strips now.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

E's are good, E's are good, E's Colin Calderwood.

Class Spurs song from the 90s.

 

[Puppet Master]

Didn't he do well as a manager himself? Got Northampton(?) up I seem to recall

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He's been on the coaching staff since Oscar's time.

Along with Nathan, chose to stay with Brighton rather than go with Oscar, when he asked them.
