It's Hughton, not effing Houghton! Unforgivable error when we had a player like Ray who stuck the ball in Pagliucas net (twice in two months).

I know and Hughton is what I typed. This tablet has a mind of it's own.I should have checked...sorry.

No, I'm sorry Ron. I should have considered the unintended consequences of auto-correct and not been so quick to castigate you.

Is anyone willing to copy & paste so we don't have to give them hits?

[SoccerHQ]

He was assistant to Hughton at SHA wasn't he?

Not management material as he struggled at Cardiff but yeah quite experienced as an assistant, think he's been in the Wales set up in recent times.

It's going to be Calderwood as Brighton have released a statement saying he's off elsewhere.

Unless you talk like William Shatner I'm not sure you're allowed to criticise grammar with that sentence.

From the Meaning Evil....
" Brighton and Hove Albion have this evening announced that Colin Calderwood has left the club.
News broke this evening that Aston Villa were hopeful of making the Scot Steve Bruce’s number two, ahead of the meeting between the Seagulls and claret and blues on the south coast tomorrow evening.
Calderwood has worked with Chris Hughton at Newcastle, Birmingham, Norwich and Brighton, but is expected to join the Villa back-room staff.
A short statement on the Albion website read: “Brighton & Hove Albion can confirm that assistant manager Colin Calderwood has resigned from the club to take up a new position elsewhere.
He was placed on gardening leave on Saturday 12 November 2016 to serve his notice period.”
Calderwood played for Villa during the 1999-2000 campaign "[/i]

A well respected Coach , by all accounts ( see Brighton's recent form )  .......and formerly a very good Defender , it can only be good news for us .............Godzvilla!.

[Toronto Villa]

I wonder while not officially appointed would he be able to provide Bruce tactical insight ahead of tomorrow's game?

[Steve67]

Calderwood is highly regarded in the game, good coach too. Pleased with that appointment.
