Im not so sure, at least he has won stuff as a manager, unlike Hughes solitary one manager of the month.
Promoted to the PL twice, once as champions. Manager of the year twice.
Granted the last couple of years havent been great for him
It would be a massive coup for the club if we were to appoint him. |

Do we think there are any players that SL might attempt to take to Crawley once the managerial 'transfer' has been ratified?
Yes he 100% would try to sign a couple of players. |

Even at Forest he took over a basket case and kept them up, then had a complete rebuild to deal with (sound familiar) which didn't go well. FWIW I can't see him coming here, but I think we need to calm expectations a bit. |

Bit Phil Brown-ish but I can’t see him getting many offers higher up the food chain.
I keep flip flopping between Richardson and Manning.

Every single job Hughton has had bar the Forest job under that ownership he has done superb in. Even up until 5 years ago he was keeping brighton and Norwich in the league. I would bite anyones hand off to get him in

Previously I would have thought a manager the calibre of Hughton would have been easily out of our range, but with Mark Hughes going to Bradford, perhaps it's not beyond the realms. I'm not sure he fits what our board is looking to do so I think someone like Artell or Manning would probably be preferred, but of course no harm in interviewing him. (if indeed we have/are)

Hughton seems an incredibly long shot but I'd be excited by that.
It didn't remind me of Andrew Fitton's "blow your socks off" candidate though, wasn't that Joe Kinnear (whilst in post at Newcastle) supposedly? Was that when we appointed Malpas or Wilson?

Breach of contract if we wanted to dismiss surely? |
