'Albion will target Chris Hughton to be their new manager if they cannot land Tony Pulis'

[clippedgull]

I am chuffed with the high calibre of managers we are being linked with. We have very good, proven managers such as Hughton and Pulis, then exciting coaches such as Sherwood, Robinson and Rosler. I for one would be happy with any of them. People moaning about conservative football need to get a grip! We have just spent our most successfull period in ages passing teams to death and whilst people moaned, they would take those days back at the drop of a hat!

No! I preferred the attacking instinct we showed when we steam rollered League One! Tippy Tappy is sleep inducing, especially in the sun trapped East Stand!

I really FEAR that Bloom is going to go with Hughton and Jones as his No.2. Will the last supporter left turn the lights OUT as he LEAVES

Wasn't he sacked by Norwich because the fans stopped going due to boredom.

Oscar played boring football. Sometimes it was the same under Gus.

I wouldn't mind Hughton.

 

[symyjym]

Boring and would really like McDermott please

McDermott is the dullest manager ever

Anyone on this board could have got Newcastle promoted that season. Eurgh.

 

[Northstandfan]

Pulis wants his own team and of have control over football matters. Exactly what our board will not give him. Hughton would be a poor appointment imo but fits the nodding dog criteria. I want Sherwood please.

I want Sherwood too. IMO, Houghton - boring Football and very touch and go at Newcastle less so else where, Pulis will be gone as soon as a Prem club show any interest in him and then we'll be looking for another manager. Sherwood needs to get a few years as manager under his belt and I think if backed by the board he would be in for the long haule.

Bloom took the gamble back in the summer.IMO he can now not afford the risk.Hence the more expieanced managers are being mentioned.We are struggling on NSC to agree a clear favorite....

Boring doesn't bother me, not winning enough games does.

 

[mune ni kamome]

I believe people are typing "Houghton" just to wind some of us up. Well you're effing well succeeding!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Agree. Save bothering about 'boredom' to next season.

This time we don't have the luxury of worrying about anything other than points.

 

[Napper]

Hughton is decent

 

[8ace]

Will his bro Henry come down to the AMEX to watch any games I wonder

 

[wellquickwoody]

Long term first choice for me would be Malky Mackay, expensive in many ways but would ultimately play good football and get us to the Prem, but can he save us this season?

Short term Pullis, expensive but needs must, would almost certainly keep us up.

A cheaper option? Not if I were TB, relegation equals diasaster financially.

 

[8ace]

Did anyone mention Hughton yesterday I wonder?

Someone did and some of us took the hint

 

[METALMICKY]

Have you been in a cave? With the departure of Burke there is every indication that this is not now the case

It's a different sport I know, but there was a belief that baseball crowds came to see people hit home runs.
Someone did some research into it and found it just wasn't true - they turned up to see a team that won more.
I think the same is true for football myself.

 

[trueblue]

No thanks. His record isn't that great.

He actually didn't get Norwich promoted, he took them down. And at Newcastle and Birmingham he benefitted from strong squads in the Championship that had just been relegated from the Premier League.

Pulis is my first choice but if not him then I would rather have Mcdermott than Hughton.

He didn't take Norwich down. He was sacked before that when he still had a chance of keeping them up for the 2nd season running.

Great with bringing players through the academy at spurs too.

 

[Mike Small]

Not Sherwood please. That salute he gave Adebayor when he scored was the most cringy thing I've seen a manager do. Would obviously get better results that SH though. Pupils is the one though. He's the best option so get him in.

 

[Hiney]

He was on TalkSport a couple of weeks ago and came across as very articulate, very passionate about coaching, and very keen to get back into football. He spoke about 'projects' and his wish to get really involved in a new club.
