He's done a fantastic job and makes an excellent ambassador for the club.
I think his real challenge will be next season however, signing the right players to keep us up in the PL.

Excellent manager of men
A great tactician.... ( we can disagree at times, but look where we are)
One more quality that too many managers lack - Dignity.

All of the above and more. Enormous respect for the man as a man, let alone a football manager, and the manager of MY football team...... Well, Mr Bloom's football team.

He's done a tremendous job, but he'll have to be a lot more adaptable if we go up. I can't see us playing 4-4-2 99% of the time and staying up

No question he's done incredibly well to take us from where we were to where we are. But I have concerns about how we'd get on in the Premier League. Those can wait, should the man get us there, he deserves the full season and I have no doubt he'd get it, whatever happened.
Agreed. The Premier League has to be the ambition for the longer term and it might not be possible to achieve that immediately. Hughton has put down roots for the future and I'd like to think he'll get a chance to nurture those even if we come back down (and I'm not assuming we'll get up yet either).

Comes as no great surprise to hear that he and Mick McCarthy are great mates. Very similar managerial styles, they both tell it like it is, even if Mick does normally set up his sides far more defensively.

He is the man! deserves not only success but also a lot of respect, which I dare say he gets from many of his peers. The fact he took the time out of his exceptionally busy schedule to fly over to France for Knocky senior's funeral is all I need to know about what kind of man Hughton is, and we're lucky to have a manager like him.

We are very lucky to have him.
He makes some substitutions when we are 1 goal up that make me anxious for the remainder of the game, but his man management is exceptional. He has the ability to keep all the players happy and focused no matter how often they play, demonstrated by injuries and replacements who seemlessly step in and play better than those they have replaced. He is dignified and level-headed in victory and openly upset when we lose but never looking for anyone to blame, he takes that responsibility on himself and finds ways to fix the problems.
His positive attributes far out weigh any faults he has, We are very lucky to have him.

He deserves at least a FULL season, if we are struggling at the wrong end then the club could do a Leicester on him but I truly hope that's not going to be an option.
