    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    I very much doubt it, or the LMA would have made a statement by now.

    I said a few fans. I'm not going to point any fingers.

    I haven't directed my opinion at anyone.

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    As is the way with these threads. The criticism starts going over the top, so therefore the defence of the subject gets stronger. Hyperbole takes over.

    [Football] Chris Houghton still unemployed

    I couldn't agree more. The OP title makes it sound that Chris Hughton is no longer wanted by anyone in football, when in reality he is probably just taking his time. I pointed out a lot earlier in the thread that he was available when we appointed Hyypia but appointed by us in December when it...

    I agree with you. What I don't agree with is the three consecutive victories, last autumn, were lucky results.

    Two of those 'very lucky results' were against Newcastle and Wolves, who failed to beat us in the return matches.

    My apologies if you are but I always got the impression, the same as NooBHA that you are Newcastle?

    Yes, it was in season 2, he ruptured his cruciate and was out for months.

    You say that, but under Hughton's watch, Solly March played for the first team, ruptured his cruciate at Derby, recovered, played for the England U21s and won Young Player of the year award.

    I'm not sure why you're disagreeing with me, because we've said the same thing. Gus didn't get anything because he was sacked/dismissed for disciplinary matters or gross misconduct. The LMA backed him because they said the charges were frivolous, but they & Gus dropped the court case when he got...

    Chris Hughton applied for the Brighton job when Hyypia was given the post. He was still available six months later, when Sami resigned. I doubt he was on the breadline for that six months.

    In football, when you're sacked the contract is paid in full. He probably got a lump sum rather than a monthly salary. Mutual agreement means all ties are severed. Gus had a large 2 million agreement on his contract, which was why he wasn't sacked, but the club dismissed him for disciplinary...

    He's still getting paid so why should he take another job immediately?
