[Football] Meanwhile Where Is Mr Hughton?

[One Teddy Maybank]

Come November/December they’ll be another Fulham rooted to the bottom ready to get in someone with a proven record of Premier League survival.

Other examples would be Dyche moving on, and Hughton slotting in at somewhere like Burnley.

Football world thinks very highly of Chris, even if some on here want to denigrate his reputation.

It does and justifiably so.

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.

He's already been involved as assistant manager.

 

[blue-shifted]

I think international management would suit Chris well.

It's difficult to see what the circumstances would be in which he would get another premier league job. His reputation of fine man, great defensive organiser is only likely to appeal to a team already in a relegation death spiral. But if his main goal is to prove himself a top half premier league manager, wouldn't he be better off at a decent sized championship club where he can have another try to build from solid foundations?

 

[The Albion]

Really hope he gets what he’s after. He deserves it.

 

[Albion my Albion]

He will be having a well earned rest and doubtless has no immediate financial need of a job either

Why? How much money is too much money? Let's ask Wayne Rooney playing for MLS club DC United.

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?

Derby if they go up and Frank Lampard buggers off to Chelsea as the rumours suggest?

I agree very unfair how he has been treated. At a minimum he should have been given the start of the season with HIS signings not TB and Winstanley although they would obviously have a say. I look forward to seeing a statement from CH I am sure it will come soon... Maybe we will discover some truths which we are not aware of.

Change the record for christ's sake. Nobody believes you, and nobody will.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

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

His payoff would have been more than most will earn in a lifetime. I think he will cope.

There is some very good money in just specialising in saving clubs halfway through the season when they have lost the plot and have to get back to basics. I think Alardyce earned £3m from Palace in just 3 or 4 months.

At his stage in life he is better off with short term contracts rather than a long term project. He may feel differently though.

 

[middletoenail]

Assuming that his departure wasn't a mutual termination (which it seems), is it possible that he can't accept another role without paying Albion back/forfitting future redundancy payments?

Never mind, at least we haven't got this imbecile at the helm eh?

I don't want to appear harsh, but what Prem team would want to appoint CH and why?

Make up your mind. It's either "maybe we'll discover some truths" or "a statement is coming". You seem to know so much-which is it?

I have to agree with you on this. He was very lucky that the season ended when it did. Another couple of games and I think we'd have been relegated. He didn't seem to know how to stop the rot that had set in. That is what a PL Club in trouble would be looking for. He couldn't do it at Norwich either. Both teams in free fall when neither wanted it nor needed it and Hughton simply didn't appear to know how to stop it. No doubting he is a lovely man, well thought of, etc., etc. but he wouldn't be my choice to take over a floundering team in a relegation battle. Sorry Hughton fans. I'm not being disrespectful, it's just my take on things.

He has done it twice and got sacked - he would want some serious guarantees before considering it again.

If I had to pick a PL team that he could end up with - West Ham. Hughton was on the short list when they sacked Avrim Grant. Apparently David Gold recommended Hughton to Birmingham and encouraged Hughton to take the job. Then again - like most PL clubs, West Ham tend to want a 'big name' irrespective of whether they can do the job or not.

And with West Ham he would have the budget to play attractive football - unlike at the Albion

He managed to get them to 12th place, 13 points ahead of us but I still wouldn't want him here.

Come on, let’s show some respect. I’d hate for Hughton to be referred to like this on NSC - it’s like Norwich all over again and we’re better than that! The way Poyet is negatively referred to constantly is bad enough after all he did here - let’s not go one worse and do the same with the legend that is Chris Hughton. Please no.

Yes but Poyet acted like a twa*t at the end so he’s fair game.
Some of the crap on here spouted about CH makes me sick.

No of course not

A team that needs to stay in the Division and doesn’t have any cash to splash.

... because he spent nothing at both Norwich and then Brighton? Nonsense. He had plenty of money spent on the squad, but rejected most of the players who came in who were better than his Championship players, but less trusted. He's a negative manager and that only becomes worse when the team is struggling. He's a very good Championship manager but a bottom end Premier League manager. He isn't a short term fix unless you've given up, and want to have a good go at the Championship the following season.
