EcclesallOwl Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hughton took Brighton from relegation candidates to promotion in a few seasons, played 4-4-2 & had the 2nd best goal difference in the year they went up. Scored the joint most goals the season they didn’t go up as well. Promoted twice with two different clubs Every full season he’s had in this division he’s finished in the top 6. Got Birmingham into the group stages of the Europa League when they were in the Championship He also has a very good premier league record (once he gets them there, not that we have to worry about that) Not good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrie Madden Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Fact of the matter is that there are plenty of Managers out there and as long as we are out from under the embargo we should be seen as a fairly attractive proposition so shouldn't be short of interest Just hope it doesn't drag on I'd be happy with a few of those named Paul Cook or Hughton being the preferred but Holloway could be fun Never liked Rowett but if we go that way he'll get my support same as any other manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Paul Cook is the one that appeals to me the most out of all the realistic names. I've got a good feeling about him. His teams play decent stuff; he's been making a name for himself for a while, he seems like he's on the rise in and he's got a few titles/promotions in the lower leagues to his name. I think he would be a smart forward thinking interesting appointment. Edited July 15, 2019 by The Night-Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Choice number 1 - Hughton Record at this level speaks for itself, 2 promotions out of 4 Championship seasons is excellent (even more so that the other 2 seasons ended up in the play offs and one of those was level on points with second). Also the fact he’s proven he can keep teams up as well, no relegation on his CV. Option number 2 - Nigel Pearson Too young to know him playing for Wednesday so this is solely based on what he did at Leicester. He took over at Leicester after a similar situation to the one we find ourselves in, after the overspending of their owners in the Championship under Sven, he picked up bargains to win them the Championship, players like Vardy, Knockaert and Mahrez and then kept them up the following year and many of his signings went on to win them the Premier League.

I take your point as well thought out.. but fortune favours the brave, I’d rather give it a go than accept the balls on my chin. I believe the manager is the most important member of the team and I think to attack is the best form of defence, to sit back is giving up for me.. I’d rather give it all we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of any manager from the merry go round listed above which would make me think 'Yes! Here We Go!". I wasn't that fussed about Bruce joining us, and not that bothered he's gone to be honest. 100% agree with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Of that list has to be Hughton. Would suit the squad. Karanka likewise would be great, and I'd like Paul Cook too but not sure the squad is his style right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen Rowett, Monk and Cowley in adition to Hughton could play system we play. Others are different and play different style.

deaks1984 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Couldn't see Bullen on the list. I'd have voted for Hughton but don't think he'll come. I know Bullen has said he's not ready for it etc. But honestly think the way things have gone the last couple of seasons, that he'd have the backing of the of the senior players. I think the likes of Westwood, Hutchinson etc. could control that dressing room, would run through brick walls for him and lead by example. Also there's no question of loyalty at all, which I think may be top of the list for DC after Mrs. Doubtfire. Could backfire by not giving a proven manager what's left of the pre-season, but I'm sure Bullen could really do something special given the chance.
