Talksport reporting a 3 man shortlist of Potter,Lampard and AN Other Can you imagine if it was NJ. You'd have to laugh wouldn't you. I can't see it happening but if it's going to happen it might as well happen now. What I am worried about is genuine reports he's interested, he interviews etc and doesn't go/get it and then all his credibility here has gone isn't it...

Anyway he's so committed to the cause and has all his plans in place for us that I'm sure we're due a statement and a chest bump any time now...

Living down in Brighton, I know NJ is very popular with the fans and would be a very popular choice.
Can't see it myself. My mate, a BHA season ticket holders preferred 3 choices are Rafa, Eddie Howe, NJ. Could see Rafa being interested, Eddie no chance he's Bournemouth till they sack him, NJ might be tempted??

See John Barnes has been offering his opinions on the matter and it's come round to being a race issue! Whether he's offered up these opinions or been rail-roaded into them I can't help but think that by even mentioning it in the same context he's honing in on a made up issue that isn't there. Managers of all nationalites get sacked all the time, often without having been given time to be successful & it's based on footballing or personal reasons, nothing about race issues. If race was an issue he wouldn't have been appointed in the first place.
Brighton employed Hughton on his managerial/coaching experience & stats & have sacked him based on results, performances and league position (Only escaping relegation by a point being a major factor im sure!). The same kind of issues were being banded around when Darren Moore got unexpectedly sacked from WBA.. Yes it appeared strange to outsiders from WBA but that was more down to their league position at the time he was dismissed more than anything else.
To suggest anything other than footballing reasons for these sackings is wrong and really think a line needs to be drawn on talking issues up that aren't there.

He has been unhappy at NU for some time now. If he was such an attraction to a big Euro club he would have been poached by now I would have thought. Currently squabbling over a new contract and has been vocal in the past about how little backing he gets from MA. Funnier things have happened in football so don't rule it out. I agree it probably won't happen but if approached I don't think it would be a flat no either.

From what I heard, Barnes said it was nowt to do with race. And racism is a society problem rather than specifically a football one. Can't argue with that.

From what I heard, Barnes said it was nowt to do with race. And racism is a society problem rather than specifically a football one. Can't argue with that. He kind of said that to begin with but then began to contradict himself abit. If you listen to the full interview it does edge back to the race subject which makes me think he may have been led down that path as i'd mentioned may have been the case. The fact he's discussing race matters in any case when talking about a manger getting sacked is itself an unwarranted one. Whether Barnes or the interviewer has felt the need to mention race is perhaps highlighting an issue that isn't there in this case. Brighton sacked him due to the present state the club was in after a poor season, that's all that really needed to be discussed.. I'm sure Chris Hughton will be back in work again soon, he seems a likeable & level headed chap & would be surprised if he's not managing again by time August comes around.

If it were most other managers, I would have shrugged my shoulders. This news makes me sad though. In a profession full of odious individuals, Hughton stands out as a truly decent person.
