Manager for next season

[SheffieldVillain]

Not too many managers walk of their own accord. Far more often than not they'll get fired.

Of course you're absolutely right, but if it's because of poor results, it's understandable.

If they're getting repeatedly getting sacked because of off the field issues or personality clashes, it's worrying.

Houghton being 3rd in League with Brighton with their budget is arguable a better achievement that the clubs above him Boro and Burnley who  both spent big.That he has turned Brighton around with hardly any money is testament to his coaching skills.
At championship level he has done well with Birmingham and Newcastle and always comes across as a decent enough guy

He got Newcastle back up winning 30 games drawing 12 and losing 4 , pretty impressive he also got Birnimgham into the play off's

Long term can he cut in the Prem league , that could be questioned but at Championship level he has performed well enough with 3 different clubs to warrant consideration

Not too many managers walk of their own accord. Far more often than not they'll get fired.

But not too many clubs have a former manager who now says he was glad to be sacked, and had in fact asked to be relieved of his duties several times before the event.

And let's be honest, RG could well be saying the same thing before too long.

We are a special case. A basket case.

No they haven't, but both worked for a very different board structure to the one we have now. Hopefully the next man will be seen as the person the new board want to move the club forward and they will be properly supported from above to do so.

Warnock

Can't stand the bloke myself, and he never did my wife's toes 

As an ex-chropodist he is ideal for us. 

He was touted in earlier threads a year ago, and the abuse those people met probably sent them away forever.

I don't care.

WARNOCK. FOR ME
We Are in the Championship, and he does "Ego Players" for breakfast..bring him on...San Fairy Ann Gaby and Jack. Bacs, Mica and Joli...etc

May not be popular,with fans -  but he does the job.
Manager of the months after 6 weeks with Rotheram who were bottom...check those tables "Fans"

Not a Prem Manager, but a blunt and crude instrument that gets promotion, drops dillentantes and wannabes....
WARNOCK for me....

I wish I was as good a fan as you and knew as much about football as you do. Although they weren't bottom when he took over. Maybe you should check those tables better?

I don't like, or want, Warnock, but he is doing a great job at Rotherham. In the bottom 3 when he took over in Feb, now 9 points clear and on an 8 game unbeaten run, W6 D2, the most in form side in the division.

Would Hughton want to leave New Mexico to Birmingham though with his chicken and pharmaceutical interests there?

What the Fringing hell are you on about? Surely the Skyler is the limit.

[mr underhill]

you know what, we're so cartoonish at the moment I'd take a management combo of Noddy & Big Ears . We've fallen so far from grace, that any of the names mentioned on this thread recently would be almost more than we could expect. Having said that, I  can't reconcile myself to the image of Pearson managing Villa.

[mr underhill]

Oh, a big thank you to Ads for the  most arcane post on the thread. Top work.

Unless the reference is to Brighton and it's substance issues and something to do with a chicken company buying the pier, it's the strangest post I have seen in a good while

Hughton was doing a decent job at Newcastle too but got dumped because they felt he wasn't a big enough name for them.  He's a bit conservative with the football but would be ok. Is ok enough though?

Ok represents an over ambitious expectation which would require degrees of improvement which are currently unrealistic. Not totally shit is an achievable target.

Where do you think this massive investment will come from?

Can't say I see it myself.

He would only leave Albuquerque if he could bring Jesse, Badger and Skinny.
