The more Chris Hughton is making the sense, the less confident i am that the Lansdowns will get this right unfortunately...

We now have the infrastructure in place and need someone with the know how to grab the playing side of things by the scruff of the neck and get us to the next level.

WECANDO Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 The other side to Chris Hughton is that players will respect him for his playing career. He played for Tottenham between 1979 to 1990. Won the FA Cup twice and the EUFA Cup. He also had two seasons at West Ham. He represented the Republic of Ireland 53 times. Now compare that to LJs career. Players with international experience can’t look down at CH because he’s done more than all of them put together. A man to be respected for his playing career and managerial career.

This has far more impact for players that the current squad will actually remember ie John Terry, Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I would rather we spent £500k more per year on a manager, £2m extra over a 4 year contract and buy one less player that we dont need for our bulging squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour was we paid Coppell a £1m salary. We can afford Hughton, if we want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercidered Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Is a Head coach / Manager's financial package part of FFP? If it isn't then it has to be Chris Hughton. If it is, then I think we have to settle for something less palatable i.e. Flynn etc, etc,. Which I would be very underwhelmed. It was reported that CH has already turned down 5 Championship jobs. If that is true or even partly true. Was it down to money or the potential of the new employers? If he has stated an interested in coming to City then as long as it isn't just down to money then we need to push the boat an nab him before another club with more financial clout nabs him.

I could be wrong as obviously I’ve never met the guy but someone like Hughton doesn’t seem like someone who’s prime motivation is cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 for Chris Hughton to actively come out and say he's interested, and then for us to then turn our nose up at that, given his track record and experience, would be a huge mistake imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Steve L has been happy to shell out £1million a year in salary to Kalas and Wells (and Charles Piutau at the Bears) It would be ridiculous if he then baulks at the idea of paying that to a top class manager.

We’ve actually taken what we’ve termed cheap punts on players and spent double that on the transfer fee alone. Until we realise how important a good manager is to maximise the ability of our players, I fear we’ll never really progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
