What do you mean "like this"? Managers with one failure on their CV at a basket case club, and tons of success is it? |

Dinosaur managers that are well past their sell by date. Replacing Mick with Chris is a like for a like replacement, its the very definition of insanity expecting different results. I can already predict it, he'll come in and do a decent job initially, steady the ship playing defensive hoofball finish mid table. Then the results fall off and he gets the sack this time next year. Best case scenario.

"Hoofball" and "dinosaur"...tired, very tired cliches. How about "fannying about with the ball" as Jack used to say. Is that all there is, those two extremes? |

Shocking appointment. Last couple of Cardiff managers have been less than inspiring.
Something tells me the owners want out.

He should stick to the acting; he was fantastic in Breaking Bad.

He got Newcastle and Brighton promoted from the division, no slouch. The same people who think he
is useless, when we have direct evidence to the contrary, are the same people who think SK is marvellous, when we have direct evidence to the contrary!

He literally has one managerial failure on his record at a club which are notoriously badly run, with numerous excellent championship seasons at a variety of clubs, including 2 promotions - the last of which was just 4 years ago. It's absolutely hilarious that you have lads on here acting like he is some sort of useless bluffer - and almost happy that he failed in his last job, where every other manager under the same owners has also failed. Including Mark Warburton who is flying with, QPR. The eagerness to throw Hughton under the bus is embarrassing and pathetic.

Hughtons last promotion came 4 years ago, not 40 years ffs.  'Well past their sell by date'. Give me a f*cking break.

Two great servants to Ireland, Mick and Chris, and yet a small group on here seem to take some kind of pleasure from their failures, and ignore their successes. Very strange.

Chris Hughton is wanted by Cardiff as he took Newcastle and Brighton up, got Birmingham into the playoffs and took Norwich to 11th in the Premier league. His only failure was at Forest where every recent manager has failed. If and when Stephen Kenny is sacked nobody in England or abroad will even consider him for a managerial position. Football management is about results, not possession stats or f**king KPI's. Nobody cares how those results are achieved. It is laughable that serial winners like Mourinho with over 20 major honours are now called dinosaurs, whilst the likes of Poch and Potter are regarded as great managers despite never winning anything

I wasnt in any way having a go at Chris Hughton. I really like the guy. Been a fantastic manager and could well do a job for Cardiff. I'm was just commenting on the fact that there's a group of managers at that level (Championship) who are hired to do a job, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt, invariably they get sacked and the whole process starts again with another guy. And the guy who got fired is hired elsewhere and the process starts all over again at a new club....

The vile comments directed at a consistently successful coach are bewildering . I omit the NF stint as they were unmanageable. |

20 years ago Mourinho was heralded as one of the best up and coming young managers in the game, in the very same vein young managers like Poch and Potter are now. He hadnt won anything then either but he had a whole new approach, he was young and hungry and wanted to succeed. You could see he was bound for bigger and better things when he done what he did with Porto. Same as Poch with Southampton/Spurs and Potter with Swansea/Brighton.

Pochettino has been managing for 13 years with 1 major trophy which he won a few months back. Hardly a young manager the way. Indeed Mourinho has won over 10 major trophies since Pochettino became a manager with Espanyol - including leagues and a champions league. Or you could look at Mourinhos first 13 years of management which also feature a mental amount of trophies. I also love how Graham Potter is the manager 'in vogue' now off the back of a run of 6 winless games, a 16th place PL finish and a 15th place PL finish. And his time at Swansea where he finished 10th and his successor (with a much more 'negative' playstyle, and minus 35 million worth of talent in McBurnie and Dan James) reached the Play-offs, twice. Potter is a superstar alright. That's the point of the post by Jimbhoy - the likes of you and many others talking up these guys who don't win but whose sides pass it around a bit, while other managers who routinely win are dinosaurs because they don't pass it as much. It's absolute rubbish. Hughton is a proven winner at Championship level and any chairman or Chief executive worth anything should be looking at him should a vacancy become available at that level. |

Chris Hughton's credentials are beyond question. Even at Forest, he kept them up when they looked scundered before the wheels came off this season. He was a fine player also for Spurs and Ireland. He and indeed Mick will not be losing any sleep over some of the witless barbs aimed at them here.
