Nonetheless, there is something about him and that club that just fits, and I think that they would be mad to sack him. I don't think that there is anyone better qualified to lead Bournemouth in the Championship. The one time that he left them and went to Burnley he failed. Next.

Howe really struggled to cope with the death of his mother while he was Burnley manager and it all really affected his family too. He was only 33 years old at the time and he took Burnley to an 8th place finish in the championship and a 13th place finish before he realised he had to go home for ‘personal reasons’ - these guys are human, they ain’t robots and family tragedies happen to everyone, to simply say he ‘failed’ is a bit harsh in my opinion ...

Well that's fair enough. But I still think he's the best candidate to get Bournemouth up next season. I don't think he's the best candidate to do that for us.

I was only calling Hughton a failure in response to someone who rejected the idea of appointing “one of this season’s failures”. All managers eventually fail somewhere. I’d have Hughton or Howe, even if both of them have struggled with a small club in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey - if ‘nearly getting them relegated’ is an acceptable criteria for sacking a manager who keeps a club like Brighton safe in the premier league then at least six premier league managers would lose their jobs at the end of each season for narrowly avoiding the drop. Chris Hughton kept Brighton up in the premier league last season. They were not relegated. I think that’s a notable achievement ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d doubt he’d jump straight into another job without a break. We need someone in before then ideally . Howe has been accused by people better qualified than me , that he’s not the best judge of a player and can’t handle player egos. Remind you of anyone ? One or two I could name.

We know SG is happy to leave Rangers. But I can’t see anything happening whilst he’s actually on duty with them. I’ve heard that a former Chelsea Spanish Right Back also applied. Apparently had a brief coaching stint here last year too. All that said. If it’s today, it’s surely got to be Hughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, can’t argue with that, dunno what they were expecting though ... finishing safe in the premier league wasn’t enough for a club like Brighton?! Perhaps they wanted champions league football, expectations are high when you hit the promised land! Fully expect Potter to get the sack then, they haven’t yet won as many games this season under him as they did with Hughton at the helm last season ... and they’ve currently got the same number of points as they accumulated under Hughton - they’ve set the bar high! Safety isn’t enough for the Seagulls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 As said earlier, if as Kid says (he's been right so many times, I don't doubt him) it would suggest CH rather that SG. I would be very happy with that and, hopefully, we get to address his lack of skill in the Premier league at some point. Let's get there first eh! CH gets my full support.

YGBjammy Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 SG is playing Nice on Saturday, and then Motherwell on Weds. So presumably flying back to the UK on Sat/Sun. I wouldn't rule him out just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
