The first club to come in for Hughton....

[One Teddy Maybank]

Tottenham

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

He's probably lacking the name/profile but if Koeman leaves Everton for a certain Spanish club in the summer then...well, it's possible.

 

[Icy Gull]

Tottenham

Dare I say they may already have a better manager?

Perhaps, but there are bigger clubs in world football than Tottenham........

I mean look at Leeds [emoji23]

The FA will come for him.

Two years of establishing us and after Southgate takes us out in the group stages in Russia.

A bloke like him would be perfect for the job, always speaks well and says the right thing, zero chance of any newspaper stings.

The new forward looking FA would jump at the chance to appoint a BAME manager.

Then England will win the World Cup and Hughtons statue will be transported to Wembley from outside the AMEX and replaced by the Guardiola statue who has just won us the league and cup double...I might have got carried away with the last bit.

I reckon this is most likely. Great post, even the last bit.

Football and fans are fickle. Is all I'd say.

Yeah I was having the same feeling, lets see this thread in December if stuff starts going Pete Tong.

 

[Guinness Boy]

If we stick by CH then he'll stick by us. And we will IMHO

I think the only club that may turn Chris's head may be Tottenham.
He was a legend as a player there

 

[maglers]

Fortunately there is this myth doing the rounds that he is pony in the Prem. So I don't see anyone coming in for him.

I think Hughton has found his home here because he actually owns his job and is respected as an equal in the hierarchy setup. He is all but in name our trusted director of football and a manager which he never had this with Newcastle and Norwich and not many clubs trust like this anyway. No other job could be so well suited to him than us, and no manager could we trust more than him. To have the opportunity of molding a club on every footballing level and setting your own standard is a dream for a man like Hughton because he can get his teeth stuck in without fearing fore his job. He knows that his work has only just started here.

At least we know that if we struggle in the Prem and get relegated Hughton has proved he is the best man to get us promoted again.

We should keep even if we are in trouble. As said by earlier poster, would trust him to bring us back up with some assistance from Parachute payments.

Newcastle?

This excert from the local rag up there (Poll: Would you welcome Chris Hughton back one day? stands at 90% yes) hints at unfinished business for Chris if Rafa moves on.. Also he has said on numerous occasions when interviewed that he hopes to see Newcastle win games when they are not playing Brighton.

Hughton should now be viewed for what he is: one of the English football’s most outstanding homegrown managerial talents. Others have made more noise but Hughton’s diligence and professionalism means that he has outgrown and out-lasted bigger names.

United have an outstanding manager in Benitez, who should be given time, resources and space to create a legacy at St James’ Park.

But if, for whatever reason, Benitez does not get a long-term remit at Newcastle, a return for Hughton would be one compelling option for United chiefs. There are few others who have held the job down the years who would be welcomed back. Hughton would.

Perhaps when his side clinch promotion on Monday those who took the decision to sack him at Newcastle will pause and reflect on the fact that maybe he was the man to take them forward after all. A decision that always felt flawed has been made to look ridiculous by Hughton.

Leeds

I'm more interested in a pool on the date the first "Hughton Out" thread-and-poll goes up.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Our club is very special and I think Hughton knows this. If you watch his speech to the board / Tony Bloom during the celebrations yesterday it is clear that there is a very good, strong working relationship within BHA. Money / business was mentioned but the response was that we are more of a family and we want to do the best for our club, not make money. I genuinely don't think Chris will be going anywhere.

There is absolutely zero chance he leave us for them after the way he was treated.

 

[Biscuit]

He'll be our Wenger!

Unless some absolutely footballing goliath like Wednesday come in for him.

I think thats the least likely scenario.

He would hate the not working with players on a day to day basis. Thats what motivates him. A lot of Managers don't even do any of their own coaching. CH is involved in all the coaching at the clubs he has been at.

I think he would love to be really successful at Brighton. Thats going to take 3 to 4 years to achieve because it's a position of catch up to teams already up there to get the who have already invested millions in their squads.

I don't really like threads like this but one thing I would say is. Money is not what motivates the guy in the slightest, so I just think that the only clubs that would be tempting would be Champions League Clubs and thats only because he has never managed at that level. And to be honest, those clubs I don't think he will be on their radar.

True but in a few years time he'll be over 60 and maybe wanting to wind down the day to day involvement. Also, his commitment to trying to get more black managers in the English game is well documented. It's a cause that he's been quite vocal about. His temperament, the FA's desire to get a black manager and all the other factors could align at the right time to make Hughton's appointment a natural one.

No not yet. His drive for day to day football with the lads is still as strong. As for the ''more black managers in football management'' Thats one reason not to take the job as England Manager's job. Stay out there in club football, be successful you are allowed to get on with job.

Don't pick the players that the Press want you to pick then they target you. England job is the worst job in the world because of the shit which the Press give the Manager. Why would he put himself through that. He is a clever clever man
