pongo88 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 If Hughton turns us down, perhaps we could try Houghton. He’s had plenty of mentions on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest had SIX different permanent managers (plus countless caretakers) during the time LJ managed us. I know which I'd choose Or a person might opt for Forest knowing than in a few months time they might be getting a nice pay off, easy money! I guess it will depend if someone wants to jump on board our next project where they will be under pressure to deliver, they probably will get time ( although not as much as Lee) and some £££ backing or go to a less patient club for a shorter stint.

Please don’t waste your valuable time replying with abuse. Many thanks. I'm assuming it's a reference to this section of his Wikipedia page: "Hughton wrote a column for the Workers' Revolutionary Party publication News Line in the 1970s.[74][82] Hughton plays down the Trotskyist connection: "it's probably not as dramatic as it sounds. I've always had strong views on social issues such as hospitals - I think we should have a good health system - and the education system, too ... These days, players can do as many interviews and columns as they want. Back in the day, it wasn't like that. Anyway, I'm sure I wrote about football and football issues. Nothing else."[74] He is a member of the Labour Party.[83]" Not massively relevant to football management. I suspect a number of player and managers are members or supporters of one political party or another. Not sure it has an impact on their job...

I’ve said before....he’s my no1 choice but I’m not excited. I think that is because he’s the right choice. 3 hours ago, Carey 6 said: I really don't think we do. Hughton likes a 4-4-2 doesn't he, who our are quality wingers? Eliasson possibly, but he's apparently off. We could need two of those. both Knockaert and Skalak were hard working wingers, pests in a sense. Knockaert in particular grafted much more then than he does now at Fulham. You’d expert him to want effort from widemen if he plays 442. Jack Hunt isn't a top quality right back. Possibly need a CB. Williams is hopefully off & We'll be left with Baker, Kalas, Vyner & Moore. As you've said, an experienced CM, hopefully could tempt someone like Dale Stephens (available on a free) to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest had SIX different permanent managers (plus countless caretakers) during the time LJ managed us. I know which I'd choose This fascinates me. Why is managerial stability a good thing if it doesn't lead to success? If we had had 6 different managers in the past 4 years, had played sumptuous football and were comfortably established as a Premier League club, would the number of managers matter? I ask because managerial stability was often cited as a positive in not getting rid of LJ, no matter how we were performing. I'd have sacked him a couple of years ago...I think we'd be in a better position of we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Why does his personal beliefs and politics need to come into question? Just do a good job for our club and we'll all be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
