[Football] Meanwhile Where Is Mr Hughton?

[stewart_weir]

Not going to West Brom (according to the rumour). Chris wants a Premier League club -

“A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Hughton is not considering either role at West Brom or Middlesbrough as he would prefer his next role in management to be in the Premier League”

So who is he waiting for?

Interesting. Would say West Brom are definitely the best suited for him. Only prem job potentially being available is Newcastle and can't see him going back there.

Who?

Instead of clappers the clubs would need to get pillows as the football would be dire

Crystal Palace? Roy might have done well with them but he's not exactly getting any younger...

Come late October he may get his wish imo but not before. Ready made firefighter for a club in trouble. We could be fighting a relegation battle against a CH team come year’s end. I think we’ll be down there as this is a massive learning curve for GP, we aren’t likely to hit the ground running given the changes afoot.

Which club has a manager getting well old now, and not so far away he'd need to uproot?

I guess he can wait, I imagine we are still paying him.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

After 4 1/2 years I suspect he’ll want a rest. The past six months especially must have been massively stressful for him, so I hope he does have a break. Club legend, and hope he gets a dream job... maybe a role with his mate Big Mick with Ireland

11/4 second favourite for the West Brom job
33/1 Celtic
10/1 Boro (4th favourite)

If he's choosing to wait to take over a basketcase in the Premier League, I think he's mistaken. He would, in my opinion, be better served taking over at a Premier League-ready club like West Brom or Middlesbrough and getting them there. I don't think he's the type of character to keep a club up with a whole set of new players and a league table not in his favour. If he takes over at any club in the Premier League mid-season, I'd have a few quid on their relegation because I don't think he's the man for that job at this level. He's better getting a club promoted and then keep them there. Full stop, though - he's not got the vision or the capacity to achieve more than that.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

He should do what he does best. Take a Championship club and make them Premier League. That's a gift, a talent, and any Championship club with ambition should be knocking at his door - loudly. I also think, with respect to the man, that he shouldn't quite think of himself as a Pep Guardiola just yet...

I wish him well no matter what, though. What he's done for BHAFC will never be forgotten.

You're not backtracking/hedging on our previous discussions are you?

Currently holidaying in Alamo, Texas, the spiritual inspiration for dogged deep defence.

No chance. McCarthy is just keeping the seat warm for Stephen Kenny, who takes over the job next year.

Were that not the case, I think Chris would relish a pop at the R of I job. Wouldn't be surprised to see it happen at some point in the future.

The acceptable face of Colin-ism?

In Nice. With his Potters up.
