I think TalkShite jumped the gun on this....... Hope it's true though.

It's quite telling that he has had to drop back down to the championship. He is a very good championship manager, but he is not right for the Premier League. Hope he does well at Bristol.

I think he’s proven he is good enough for the Premier League with Newcastle, Norwich and us. As much as I like Potter, there’s no guarantee he would have kept us up in the first two years with the squad that we had. Hughton did a brilliant job in my view.

Having said that, I think Bristol City is a good move for him and he’ll probably get them promoted. I’d much rather see him there than Watford, who sack their manager every 20 games or so.

With his CV he could probably get the chance in some shit, panicking relegation fighting club at some point - though covid stuff prevented that kind of panic moves this year. However most managers who are not desperate would likely prefer taking over some ambitious Championship club in between seasons.

Good appointment for Chris. Good appointment for Bristol. Hope he does well apart from when they play us.

Also hope when they do play us he gets the reception he undoubtedly deserves and probably doesn't want being the modest man that he is...

CH could get a tub of lard promoted, it might take a couple of years but the end result is not in doubt.
He builds teams that are defensively hard to beat but have enough about them to hurt teams that are not on top of their game.

Could be a great appointment, proven manager and a supportive, wealthy owner, decent support. I wish him all the best, the last half season doesn't detract from the 4 before, some brilliant wins and thrilling football. A true legend. Be great to see him take them back to the top flight, must be an even longer gap than we had now.

Confirmed now. Well done Chris and good choice BC. Be interesting to see who he brings in.

If he gets brizzle, what odds on him coming after Muzza on a 1 yr. Last hurrah with some gametime for Murray, who knows CH rates him.

Could see it happening

Live in Bristol, really are a sleeping giant of a club considering their ownership and the size of the city. Feel like they wouldn't be out of place in the premier league

This. He had an abysmal 4 months at the end with us, which is why he was sacked.

Outside of that, we played some brilliant football in two truly wonderful seasons in the top three of the Championship, followed by a pragmatic and successful approach to staying in the Premier League. Up until the last four months of his tenure, the reality was he was doing a brilliant job and before falling of a cliff-edge, I know for a fact the club felt the same.

Any aspiring club would be proud to have Hughton as manager. Hugely respected, a total gent and all round top bloke.

It was a shame it ended as it did, I was one of those calling for the change. But still can seperate, Chris Hughton the man. Chris Hughton the manager that brought us huge success over a few years, and Chris Hughton, the final 5 months when it just wasn't good enough and we were rudderless.

Great appointment for City if they get him. Wish him every success

I just hope someone warns them about his wild celebrations and outbursts on the touchline. Need to protect children and the easily scared who may not be ready for his outrageous behaviour .

Pleased for him and hopefully we get to draw BC at the Amex in a cup when the crowds are back. He will get a TUMULTUOUS reception, that is a fact!

He will have them challenging assuming they back him
