    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    Apparently they have and he turned them down. I have a son in law who is a Wednesday fan and a bit gutted. I did try and explain that they were too Massive for CH :smile:

    Let’s see how he does next season I think that you are both wrong on this!

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    I think that’s quite harsh. He offers quite a lot going forward and he’s certainly no Bruno in defence or attack but it’s very hard to follow one of the all time Albion legends. We would have to spend not far short of 20 million to get a young Bruno imo. We may have a manager who plays more to...

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    In fairness he was damned by the results for most of the last three months of the season. Prior to that run I’d suggest 90% of NSC were 100% for him staying and continuing the fine job he’d done since he was appointed. It was his inability to turn the results around over a three month period...

    I’ll say it again. CH will not struggle to get a very high profile job...when he decides he is ready. He may well have had enough as I’m sure that his sacking will have affected him.

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    I don’t know is the simple answer. If none are good enough to step up then the recruitment team have failed but I have not seen enough of them (only watch first team games) to pass comment. Either the recruitment team or the ex manager were coming up short, can we agree on that? I was not...

    I completely accept that I may look back around January time and think “CH had it absolutely right, we only have the players to defend and hope for a 0-0 draw or maybe sneak a win, whilst not getting thumped by the big boys” I don’t believe that is the case though and reverting to type after a...

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    Interesting stuff but my point was that I doubt he would want the Derby job, or that they’d want him (their loss imo) as they are very keen on promoting youth. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with me? I stand to be corrected about his philosophy on players but in his Brighton tenure CH steered...

    You are wasting your time. Stephens is a ball losing player with no pace and only passes sideways and backwards. Useless, get rid. You have no chance of changing the hater’s minds whatever facts you come up with.

    Apparently not. They are very reliant on youth from the academy

    CH will not struggle to get a job but I fear it may be a rescue job rather than a team on the up. All those places are filled as far as I am aware. Forest would have seemed a good bet if they weren’t such a basket case.

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    I don’t remember specifics but I recall him not getting much game time and being dropped to the bench quite regularly when we were in the Championship in season 2 of CH.. I wouldn’t have called him a shoo in for a long time. Is my memory playing tricks on me? Was it in season 2 he got injured...

    More loans I imagine and not expensive ones either which discounts Premier League experience. Who knows, I just think he’d be a really bad fit there given their interfering hierarchy and the fans expectation of a certain style.

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    My first thought on this was exactly as you say. CH does not trust inexperienced young players and will only be successful (imo) in taking a team out of the Championship if he has experienced players to form the backbone. The talk of needing to see players at least 30 times in training before he...

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    Given how surprised he was at the sacking CH may have fallen out of love with football for a while. Why does he need to rush back before he is ready? I have no doubts that he would get the manager’s job at a decent Championship side once he feels like managing again and after the first round of...
