Colin Calderwood appointed as Hughton's assistant

[tigertim68]

Good we now have two experienced people in charge , hopefully we can all move forward and start to climb the table

 

[supaseagull]

We got two Calde's

 

[sir albion]

Thank christ Jones has dropped back...Very happy

 

[sir albion]

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

What to Israel?

 

[sir albion]

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.

He'll never be good enough

 

[Lower West Stander]

Jones was pretty keen on the managers job here - got linked with the Charlton and clearly ambitious.

I reckon he'll be off soon.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

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.

Brilliant, you and Nathan can add

'Unable to influence those senior to you' to your CV

Let us know how this helps you

 

[Hampster Gull]

Good appointment. Leaving Sami with Jones was part of the problem. Hopefully Jones can learn and grow

Your bias clouds your judgement. So if we're talking CVs, feel free to stick "pig-headed and stubborn to the nth degree, and consumed by an ill-deserved sense of superiority" to yours, you patronising bell end.

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

Yes,i am sure that will be the case.

 

[Gully Forever]

The best pairing in the Championship IMO!.

 

[BensGrandad]

As and when a job comes up that appears to be a promotion for NJ then he will apply and be off, it happens in all football why did Moyes leave Everton for Man United . Howe did the same at AFCB but then realized the grass is not always greener on the other side, it will always happen in football.

 

[portslade seagull]

Good solid appointment in my opinion

A deep, insightful analytical assessment of Nathan Jones's management creditentials there.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Am pleased with that. We were in need of change below just the top man. Whilst the coaching staff on the whole look like a hotchpotch of various pasts, it's important for Hughton to have at least the main person he wants and very much trusts alongside him. Their strong bond and experience should mean they form a sense of just leadership to a squad that's looked for authority within for a while, it's seemed.

No mention of Yeovil, or Wales. That might be the best one can hope for.....

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Really good appointment IMHO. If Jonah does go to Lower Leagues management in the Summer, I predict Yeovil if they go down again and Gary Johnson leaves.....but that's a lot of IFs....I'd rather see him stay with us though.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I really hope this works out but I have a concern that the manager, assistant and first team coach are all former defenders and that Hughton has a reputation for safety first.

I would have liked someone in the management team with a bit of nous going forward. I like to think that Lua Lua, Kayal and Teixeira will rip sides apart but I'm not sure we'll see much of that sort of football.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Interesting comment by Naylor today. 'CC joins the existing backroom team headed by Nathan Jones.' Does that mean that Jones is more senior than Calderwood? Is 1st team coach a more important job than Assistant Manager these days bearing in mind some clubs don't even have a manager or assistant manager, just a chief coach? Just wondering?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

My Norwich cousins (STHs for years), not broadly critical of CH (although thought him dull) were unanimous, as apparently are the vast majority of six fingered, web footers, that Calderwood was a complete waste of space. They normally know their onions.
