[Football] Hughton

[OzMike]

Good for him, he can take a few of our players with him if he wants.

 

[HeadLiner]

Good manager with proven track record.

Mental that he isn't in work

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Good match. Now let him sign a few of our Champ players.

 

[DumLum]

And stephens too

Murray maybe.

 

[GT49er]

He has an excellent record in the Championship so a great appointment for Bristol City.

He interesting to see his budget and whether he will be knocking on the door for a couple of our players. Potentially a good loan move for some of our youth teamers.

He may be interested in a couple of our players who did well for him, especially in The Championship, but what makes you think he'd be likely to play any of our youth players?

True. When he was here he hardly played up and coming players.

There hasn't been an official announcement yet, just a fake one on twitter.

Hughton should definitely have played Connolly at the end of last season when he was injured or Alzate based on a few games at Orient were was apparently dreadful. I mean instead of integrating Bissouma, Andone, Locadi and Ali J. But then there's all the other members of our youth team Potter's given a chance to

At first I thought this was a burnt fish cakes story - all smoke, smell and no substance, but you seem to have nailed it!

Good luck Chris, wish you every success.

I don't know what Bristol's budget is but with finances being tight after Covid I can see loans being a big part of the summer window. The Albion already have a lot of youth out on loan and surely TH would be happy to loan players to the trusted CH who has a proven track record in the Championship.
We are starting to see the loan market work for us with the development of players like White (Leeds), Molumby(Millwall), Clarke (Derby), Walton (various) plus many others.

 

[AlastairWatts]

Oh no, surely not another Chris Houghton thread?

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

If he does get the job then City have got a good 'un. Just hope he doesn't fall victim to the ridiculous weight of expectation that they've had for, well, decades. The manager's job there seems to come complete with its own poison chalice.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Oddschecker has the Albion legend drifting out to 7/2? With Plymouths manager as favourite.

 

[GloryDays]

Perhaps many managers are awaiting Watford’s fate before committing to Bristol. It’s common knowledge CH sees himself as a PL manager and perhaps is willing to jump on the Watford carousel for however long they give him. As no spring a chick, spending another 2-3 years in the champ with no guarantee of coming up probably isn’t really in his career plan.

But it’d be a good fit for both if it got over the line.

1). TH (? TB maybe) would prefer to loan players out to clubs playing the Potter way.
2). CH doesn't have a proven record (not with us anyway) of playing youngsters.

 

[Official Old Man]

I see he was on TV recently. Making sure his name is seen by the right people perhaps.
Deserves a Championship job.
