We should have appointed Hughton at least a week ago; streets ahead of Cowley. SL must see that surely. What makes you think Hughton would have wanted to be appointed?

But I once (only once) had a vindaloo in Preston that was ridiculous. I was “dabbing” gently the next day I can tell you. Was playing in my works national cup, and we played Blackburn at Darwin FC! Lost 3-1 in extra time. The hottest curry I ever experienced was in Colombo, Sri Lanka . I had spent three weeks exploring the island and got a bit fed up being treated as a lame tourist with their watered down dishes . I explained to the waiter that I was British and proper curries presented no problem for me and I was keen to try a real Ceylonese curry . Big mistake ! It took me half an hour for the hiccups to stop . I did , manfully , finish my meal with loads of dessicated coconut which calms the spices down . A little tip there, sugar not water is the answer to overheated digestive systems ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Odds have quickly drifted on him to Watford and is 4th favourite, Claude Puel come in as favourite, Cowley has lower odds than Hughton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are making a fortune because of the rumours as to who is going to get the job. Remember, bookies don’t lose money, except for Gary Wiltshire https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.skysports.com/amp/racing/news/12040/10594373/bookmaker-gary-wiltshire-recalls-losing-1million-on-frankie-dettoris-magnificent-seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets say for sake of agreement he wants a 3 year contract, 3 million a year, a new back room team and money to spend of at least 15 million.

More to the point, he may well be weighing up all the potential options. Watford now vacant and may stay up. Huddersfield available. Fulham may be available if not promoted. Bournemouth may be available if/when relegated. And so on. So you can’t possibly say it must be BCFCs fault - even if they definitely want him.
