[Albion] Hughton For Ireland Manager ?

[Surf's Up]

I just don't see it as a step up in any way. That's not saying it's a job he wouldn't like to do at some stage, but not right now.

It feels like more of a "on the way down" rather than "still on the way up" kinda gig.

Irish Mick it is then!

 

[Albion Robster]

Is it too early in Hughton's management career? He's still got club management objectives and ambitions to complete IMHO.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Well that's me told

Sorry!

But seriously, why would he leave us for a 3rd rate international team? Now if it was Spurs with a vacancy , I’d definitely be crapping my pants!

 

[Stat Brother]

Shirley it ought to be a straight swap.

They take Hughton off our hands.
We get in O'Neil and Keane.

Everybody is happy.

This. It's a terrible job which will pay the same or less for very little chance of success and without the long term commitment he's been given here by Tony Bloom. The compo they'd have to pay us would be through the roof and it wouldn't solve the problem that (Duffy apart, obvs) their players really are not very good at the moment. Zero chance of him going to Ireland.

Can’t see it happening. Appears to love everything about the club, he’s got a Chairman who is 100% behind him (and isn’t prone at all to firing managers - he wouldn’t even sack Sami FFS), he’s surrounded by a top team of staff and from a personal perspective I reckon he has what he sees as ‘unfinished business’ at a PL level after Norwich and Newcastle - really wants to prove he can sustain it at this level. Doubt it would be better for him financially either.

The way the club operate, I can see CH grooming a successor over the next 3-5 years then either moving ‘upstairs’ or possibly taking an International job at that point. Just guessing, obviously.

Manage a " Team Like Brighton , Or the International powerhouse that is ROI , He's probably packed already .

Alan Pardew must be favourite

I'll not lose a wink of sleep over this. There is literally more chance of me hanging out the back of Meghan Markle this Sunday lunchtime than there is of Chris Hughton taking the Ireland job.

His international team. There's the rub.

I really doubt he’d take that job over Albion manager

On the contrary, I think it's probably the only job he would leave us for. Even if offered one of the top six, other than possibly Tottenaham

Although, in our favour, his job with us isn't done yet. Getting to PL was the main part, establishing ourselves is the the next, probably final bit. If we were already established and the Ireland job came up I think there would be a very good chance he'd take it.

His broad Irish accent gives it away.

 

[Marshy]

I actually think its quite tempting for him..worried

 

[Bozza]

Oh > "It [managing Ireland] is something I would definitely never say never to. If you're going to coach, you want to coach at the highest level, and being able to do that at international level is the highest level."

Phew > "My real desire is day-to-day football, being out there on the training ground. I'm still youngish enough and fit enough."

Stoke? West Brom? > "Can we become like Stoke Southampton, West Brom, a team regularly in the division? That us what the aim and objectives are."

Then at 40-1 you should be on it.

No chance. A step backwards in
I my opinion. I’d say he’s more likely to manage England in the future than an extremely poor Irish team.

 

[oneillco]

And his tendancy to kick off during games and threaten other managers to have a bare knuckle fight.

I think you might have been watching too many YouTube videos of the Traveller community...

He doesn't need the money and the chance to manage your country doesn't come around too often.
