Andrew 4224 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hughtons been given the Championship manager of the year award. Â Stands to reason given the brighton narrative for the season, "underdogs" despite spending themselves into tons of debt. Â More deserving winners out there, the title winner, Wagner (considering huddersfields position lat season), Clough for Burton. Â He won it last year as well I think, despite Dyche taking Burnley up as champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30440 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't begrudge him it like, I still think (even despite this) that he's overrated compared to a lot of the chancers out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the bloke and he did a very good job at stabilising what could have been a disaster up here but he isn't a good Premier League manager imo. I also notice that Henry Winter gave mention to a "huge cheer" when he was announced. You'd like to think it's because he has the respect of the footballing side of this country but the cynic in me can't help but think it's the rest of the Championship being the sad bastards they are living vicariously through the fact it wasn't us and Rafa. You've got to take any victory when you're eating our dust, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8999 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 If he goes back to Sunderland he'll get a hero's welcome and likely get them up at the first time of asking. His Plan A works very well in that league with the right players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26419 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) He claims that he now wants to enjoy life. So that definitely rules out a move to Sunderland. Edited May 24, 2017 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 He's a manager I would hate to see go there. Â They think he relegated us and they know we despise him so he could be just the man to get the inbred's back behind the club. Â If he did go back he'd be getting money so they'd be in a good position to come back up. Â No one wants that. I think he wasn't given the money he wanted last year like so I can't see him getting it now so I think it's a non starter. Â Apparently sewper Kev wants the job.

wolfy 12 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 It certainly wouldn't surprise me to see Allardyce go back to Sunderland. The fans appear to want him and the England job was the only (if you can call it that) black mark against him whilst in charge of them. Â However, I honestly don't think Ellis Short will want to risk too much on the squad, so that might rule out Allardyce. Unless there's some massive upturn at that club, then they'll be staying in the lower leagues for many many years to come...potentially dropping as far as league two at some point...albeit, maybe briefly.

Huge pressure, anything less than promotion is a bad season for them.  Allardyce would be perfect, but I can't imagine he'd go back when they're so publicly fucked. Phillips could, possibly, have the same effect of unifying their support as Allardyce would.  If they are to turn things round quickly they need something like we have had with Rafa where the whole town unites behind the manager because as things stand they are a complete mess and it's an even more miserable place than usual.  We saw that appointing someone like McClaren couldn't change the mood that had developed throughout Pardew's time here.  Phillips is as close as they have to a legend so he might be able to unite them.  Of course he could be completely hopeless, it's anyone's guess at this stage.

Howmanheyman 26900 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Like Gabbiadini, like Defoe, Phillips couldn't fuck off quick enough after relegation. No chance of Allardyce either unless they've come into some money and doubt he's flavour of the month after fucking off just before the beginning of last season and leaving them in the shite. Rumoured to be close to leaving before England came calling anyway as he knew the cupboard was bare. They'll end up with someone desperate for a job with no expectation of getting a half decent EFL budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
