[Driver8]

Superb news. Sometimes a manager and a club just go hand in hand. Dyche>Burnley, Howe>Bournemouth and Hughton with us.

Pardew - Palace.

Birmingham fans really liked him

How can anyone NOT like him? He's possibly the nicest bloke in football.

Great news for the financial stability for him and his family and great news for us as supporters showing the clubs intentions and planning for the future.

I don't think that Sir Chris needs to worry about money, given his successful career to date. I wonder how much he is paid, 900k per annum, plus many performance bonuses, or am I way off scale?

£525k according to the Daily Express.

Hodgson supposedly on £2.5m.

Alan Pardew and Paul Lambert both on £2m allegedly.

The genius at Bournemouth on £500k...


You therefore wouldn't be surprised if this deal propels him into the 7 figure range.

Great news and well deserved. 1,3,5 year deal doesn't make much difference, as we all know what happens on a poor run. This deal shows that Chris and the board are happy to take the club forward for the near future.

probably makes a lot of difference to him. big pay rise.

True. And well deserved as well.

Good reward for him but ultimately meaningless as any contact in football can be ignored/waived/paid off if there is a need or justification.

You are right . However it does show an appreciation of his work .

 

[Goldstone1976]

Excellent news. The perfect fit for us - long may it continue.

But what about his over the top celebrations,,, triple fist pumps its madness.. Bloom is obviously scared of him.... Does nobody here think of the children...

There may well be a 'good behaviour' clause in his new contract. Any outrageous touchline antics, and he gets docked pay. I hope so anyway - we can't have this sort of thing continuing for ever.

I hope so Bodian I hope so.... or else we will be the laughing stock of football...

I don't think they are disregarded, but I imagine they all have break clauses in them allowing either party to terminate early for a fixed fee.

 

[Ravids]

I hope this means Bloom will let him get us back up if we do go down in the next few years. Great news!

We’re all scared of him.........going.

Very happy about this - sensible manager, sensible owner. Hughton seems a very honest man including about his own performance.

My worry is that at some point a change of approach many be needed . I do feel that as a supporter I have a very good idea of the tactics that we will employ in any given game - so I suspect that opposition managers should be able to do the same. So the challenge just becomes dealing with our approach. Whenever we won the pundit view seemed to be "Take nothing away from Brighton but blahblah were woeful!" (For BlahBlah read Arsenal, Man U, Hammers, Baggies, Newcastle, whoever really)

 

[ozzygull]

Fantastic news. Same applies next season as this. I want him to stay even if it looks like we going to get relegated. His record for getting team out of the championship is very good, why let someone else get that experience.

Great news that, great fit for us is Mr Hughton!
