I can't be the only one who hopes he gets sorted soon for one particular reason.

[Football] Hughton to Bournemouth?
- Thread starter aolstudios
- Start date
Garcia was a FANTASTIC coach. There's no way we should have been anywhere near the playoffs with that squad.

When he signed, I remember him saying that he liked to play attacking football.
The team that he had didn't permit that, and people here criticised him for it. He did what good managers do and played a formation and tactics to suit the players he had. I would have loved to have seen what he could have done with the better players that won promotion.

Agreed, he did an excellent job. Great bloke as well.

He was a good coach, but we had Barnes, Ulloa, Buckley, March, Orlando, Lingaard, Lopez, Rodriguez. I'd say we had better attacking options that year than we did last year

Totally agree. I wonder how much of JRG's man love for Hughton comes from him as a manager, and how much as a died in the wool fellow socialist?
Hughton is wise to be cautious to a degree, like turning down the Pozzos of Watford, but he could very easily go the way of another good manager who was fired after being relatively successful at West Ham, Curbishley turned down decent offers, wanted to wait for the right one and very soon became too long out of the game and yesterdays man.
What’s the one particular reason?

That someone might migrate away from this board when CH gets a new position. However the stab city bore is likely to stick around all the time we have Irish players.

Jumping to conclusions again - I'm not from stab city (and to be honest - it hasn't been called that in a while).

I am of the view that Hughton is an under-rated manager (one of a number of Irishmen who are under-rated as managers) - and the fact that politically he would be on the left is nothing more than a bonus.
As I pointed out earlier - unlike Curbishley - even if Hughton never takes another job in England, he will, at some point, become manager of Ireland assuming he wants the job.

We had the worst injury crisis the year Oscar was here that I can remember since first going in 1976 in fairness. Or did I just make that up? Certainly how I remember it
I think he lives in Brighton tbf.

I remember we were injury hit for the playoffs especially the Derby away game but not all year,

CMS was out most of that season. Not sure if that's a positive or negative!

I thought that was the season previously when he snapped his achilles?
I know he crossed the ball for Ulloa to score, at Forest, so we got into the playoffs.

Wasn't that the first leg at Hillsborough when we lost 4 players to injury with only three subs?

That was with Chris Hughton, because Liam Rosenior came over to the Brighton fans to tell them to keep their chins up.
We didn't fare well in any of the play offs since moving into the Amex.

Back on the subject of the Bournemouth job. John Terry is being tipped for the job. If he left Villa how much of a blow would that be to them based on His impact on Villa’s defence at the end of the season?
