The fella is doing brilliantly with what he's been given to work with.
Much the same as how history is now beginning to view Hyypia's reign.

What would be needed for Hughton's job to be at risk?

Not having that. Hyppia was useless and his pre and post match interviews were on a par with taking Mogadon for this listener.
History will never suggest he was anything better than terrible as a Championship manager. His tactics were hare brained given the players we had.
Nice try Stat
Damn I thought there was just enough disguise for these chastened times.

That got me checking wiki and apparently Hyppia was sacked as manager by FC Zurich in May after getting them relegated so not working in football now

It will only arise if CH wants to leave because he feels he is not doing well enough. We have brought squad stability and wish to mirror this on the management front.
We may agree down to a ''Tee'' in our politics Ernest but when it comes to football, you do talk Shite sometimes but I grant you, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR VIEWS
I'm sure questions will be asked on Here if we don't improve our position quickly. Most likely that won't happen immediately and it will take at least a couple of weeks even if we have the ability to improve. There will be criticism of Hughton on here unless we are in a playoff position, However I don't expect pressure from Bloom on CH, unless we are seriously threatened with relegation. Perhaps however the bigges threat is CH jumping ship.

It's a difficult division to get out of and we're building something slowly. You say the squad hasn't been assembled cheap, but compared to many other teams the division I think it clearly has. We overachieved massively last year so I don't think we should be judging this season in terms of a comparison to last. Only if relegation looks like a realistic prospect would I imagine there is any chance of CH going.
Exactly - The CH reputation of turning a relegation threatened side round hasn't gone unnoticed by TB and most Brighton fans.
The same therefore applies to the worlds of the football press and other clubs and as everyone knows there will be the usual Premiership manager sackings in the coming months, when some of the smaller Premier Clubs find themselves in relegation trouble. Fending them off will probably be closer to the mark than sacking CH.
That said, I don't think that will be an issue because he has started an assault to get to the Premiership with Brighton and I am sure Brighton will be there or thereabouts this season again and CH will be part of hat assault.
If CH goes it'll be because a PL club poaches him, not because TB sacks him.

Only Hyypia coming available could threaten Hughton's position this early, surely?

The club facing a winding up order, perhaps?

Anyway, I reckon if we finished anywhere in the bottom half at the end of the season a conversation would take place. If we were relegated I think it's a given he'd go. I'm not even sure a bottom half finish would mean TB taking the AXE to him though, he really trusts and backs his appointments. I reckon the only way he's going anywhere is if we get relegated, which is unthinkable.
