West Ham and you can add Everton to that as well. It'd take one of the big six for him to leave us any time soon.

I think the Ireland job might also tempt him, but with Martin O'Neill doing so well at the moment that seat shouldn't be vacant for a couple more years at least.

Any chance west ham could be interested? Ex player popular there, Solid manager to get them back on track.

Would he leave us for them?

What are the bookies saying ?

He's 25/1 with Sky Bet, same as Dr Boer and Hodgson.

Wagner is interesting, I'm sure he'd see West Ham as a step up from Huddersfield, and plays a style the West Ham supporters are looking for. He's 10/1.

Pelligrini is favourite.

No chance.

Hughton is a Director of football here in all but writing, not just a manager, and this is rare in football.

You've obviously had the wool pulled over your eyes, everyone can see it's BARBERA pulling the strings.

Sky Sports were reporting yesterday that Leicester were interested in Wagner.

West Ham have a fair amount of football snobbery about them, they still tell you that it was West Ham that won the '66 World Cup ....I'm afraid that Chris is too defensive for them, West Ham have to win and win with STYLE or it's pointless for them. That's pretty much why Allardyce got tinned, he was getting a result more often than not but in the right style.

It could only be spurs when their chap goes to Real or Barcelona, but even then........not too sure

I'm sure they'd be very interested. Doesn't actually mean anything though.

A person with that much dignity, grace and professionalism who knows what it's like to be shat upon?

Who cares?

Ten years ago he might have been delighted to have an offer to manage a team playing their home matches in an athletics stedium they didn't even own, but now............?

i thin k that there is more chance of me managing West Ham than CH at the moment.

To be fair, you should never have left the Albion Ladies job...

ManOfSussex · Oct 22, 2017

I spoke to his daughter Aisha in the aftermath of the Derby v Huddersfield celebration at the Wigan game back on Easter Monday on The Amex - He's not interested in the slightest bit in international football management apparently, he and his family love the club, feel right at home and know how much he's appreciated by us, as well as by the powers that be above him who feel exactly the same about him too and she used the word 'dynasty' to describe what she hoped her Dad could do at Albion.

HastingsSeagull · Oct 22, 2017

Everton are in a different bracket to West Ham but yeah unless it's one of the big 7 I can't see him even thinking about it.

Spurs he'd be crazy not to take but fingers crossed by the time he's built the club up enough to be tempting to those teams, we'll be closer to them than we are now and thus not an easy decision.

Agree International wise as well, can't see it being his bag.

Shiver me timbers! Photoshop Hughton's face onto this someone who can and the job's a good 'un:

Funny, I found myself pondering only this morning which clubs might possibly tempt Hughton away from the Albion.

Assuming he's not going to go to a Championship club, you'd have to rule out the top echelon (City, United, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool) simply because they wouldn't look at him in the first place. Because of his lack of top level pedigree, and because he's not fashionable or trendy or global enough.

I can't imagine he'd go back to Newcastle under Ashley, thanks to their shared history. The likes of Stoke, West Brom, Leicester, Burnley, Swansea: I'm not sure any of those options would be tempting enough to lure him away from the Albion unless they were offering ridiculous money, plus they'd involve a significant move away from his current home and (presumably) family in or around London. Which leaves Watford (similar, but at least they're southern based), Saints (ditto, but he's probably not their style), Bournemouth (lol), West Ham (can't help feeling he's not trendy or international enough for the Dildo Brothers' London-West-Ham global brand), Everton (possible I guess) and Bottom Of The League Palace.

Funnily enough, Bottom Of The League Palace would probably be a decent fit for him in every respect. But of course they wouldn't want him either because they're way, way above his level, in the same way all their players are above ours. I think that's what they told us anyway.

He will make Wenger look like a short term opportunist

He has stated he has moved including his family to Brighton and loves it.

Eeyore · Oct 22, 2017

I could only see him going to Tottenham Hotspur- and I'm sure he'd go with our blessing.

But now Spurs are at a different level it's not going to happen.

I think we need not worry.

Ah, ok! Didn't know that. But at least he's still within an hour of what I assume to be his extended family (parents etc) in London. Stoke, on the other hand, is a long way off.
