Hughton Interview on Coach’s voice


Major Isewater

Recommended Posts

Very good and interesting article. He seems a perfect fit. He does say though he wants to manage at the highest level , which rules us out. You never know though, we’re similar to Brighton in a lot of ways and you won’t get many better owners than Lansdown when I comes to financial backing and time

Didn't know he insisted on completing his apprenticeship as a lift engineer before turning professional, nor did I know that he had a long apprenticeship as a coach.

This to me demonstrates his commitment to the long game, the importance that you don't get something for nothing and that he's got to where he is through sheer hard work.

He's starting to grow on me.

That's very good on so many levels....

Absolutely head and shoulders above any other realistic target IMO, if I were SL I’d be on the phone asking what he wanted to get down here ASAP. 

High time we had a manager of a calibre that matches the investment on the pitch and in the facilities. We are a premier league club in waiting that just needs the final piece of the jigsaw, which IMO, is an experienced and proven manager.

Another one with a masterclass vs Man Utd :laugh:

 

 

 

Not sure our side have silly enough names to suit Hughton based on that.

Could we ever have a central strand that is Dunk Bong Propper Gross.  :laughcont:

He has done recent interviews suggesting beggars can't be choosers and he may have to come back in at Championship level.

Wasn’t he said to be interested in the Birmingham job ?

If that’s the case then we should be in for several reasons , stable base for success and he looks forward and not back !

Didn’t know that, thanks. Interesting.

also , slightly worrying is the journalist Alan Nixon has said , there’s something in the Ryan Lowe rumours

I'm hoping that he worked at Willy Wonka's factory on the Great Glass Elevator because we need to go through the roof.

I worry that he has a reputation (especially more recently at Norwich & Brighton) for being very defensive.

His CV is excellent & he has managed a lot at the top level but something worries me about the way that his sides play.

Obviously will want him to do well if he gets it, but in truth wouldn’t be my first choice.

I completely get where you are coming from re his defensive style and I completely agree he was at times with Brighton in the prem which while not entertaining was very effective at keeping a pretty average team (on paper at least) away from relegation.

His two most recent seasons in the championship though both with Brighton pre-promotion (2015/2016 & 2016/2017) were a different story. They were joint top scorers in the league in 2015/2016 (with 72 goals) the season they finished third and were so close to automatics and actually scored two more (74) the following season (2016/2017) when he did get them into the top two. Which suggests he may be more versatile than we give him credit for initially?

For some context our best tally for goals scored in a season since returning to the championship was the 67 goals we scored in 2017/2018. We haven't got anywhere close to that in the seasons before or since (since returning to Champ in 2015/2016 season).
