When asked about his future plans he said he was keen to get back into football...... 1 has to be the “right job” for him 2 wants to work at the highest possible level as he feels he has demonstrated he can manage in the Premier
So for all of you working towards a happy ending with Hughton I suggest you pick another fantasy figure. You’d have to be delusional or suicidally desperate to want to manage Stoke at the moment.

It's a fantastic chance for anyone who knows their arse from their elbow to enhance their rep. If someone came in with a coherent plan results will turn around quickly.

You haven't said that Hoghton did not come across as delusional or suicidally desperate, Klingon, so I'm still hoping

We aren't a very attractive proposition at the minute are we.
I reckon if we acted now, which we need to do, we could probably still tempt the likes of Chris Hughton with the right contract. Any dithering though and it'll be League one hee we come.

Let’s be honest any competent manager is going to look good very quickly here just by stopping one of the most expensive squads in the division from getting relegated! All other expectations have now gone out of the window.

Whilst I agree with what you're saying, you could argue (and I'm starting to believe it more and more) that the one constant here is that the managers we talk about are pretty fucking shit managers. When you chuck these men into a club that is run by idiots then you get what we have seen over the last 4 years or so.

My prediction is a lot of fans will wake up around Christmas time and start to look a bit deeper and further than the dugout. Maybe this is 97/98 and we're going to end up with three managers in a season again?

Exactly compared to how monumentally stupid the last two fuckwits have been someone with half a brain could turn this around and look like the fucking Messiah.

The argument that they've spent a load of money is a flawed one as well, seeing as though they've allowed some of the most baffling deals ever made happen right under their noses. There are so many examples of rank bad decisions made at the top by these clowns that it's hard to understand why they still get off scott free.

He will be holding out for another Prem club - why would he want to come to a club who are a shambles and adrift at the bottom of the championship and the only ambition of the club is to survive tier 3 football and stay in the championship with a cheaply assembled mess

No, it really doesn’t NEED to be someone like that. Any experienced figure can come in and work out characters. It doesn’t take Einstein to deduce where the problems are.

It doesn’t take Einstein to deduce where the problems are. Hughes, Lambert, Rowett and Jones couldn’t sort it. There is a track record here of outsiders making things worse. We need a man who knows what the problems are from day 1 and has a track record of previously sorting situations like the one we currently find.

We should be moving mountains to get him here, an experienced head that would command respect out of these ragtag bunch of dickheads we call our playing staff and he knows this division well. I’ll let him spunk on my face if he wants to just get him here.

Absolutely not good enough.
Neither was Rowett, Neither was Jones. I said it at the time with them, this would be a terrible appointment. Hughton would be better - but not good enough.

Every manager wants to manage at the highest possible level. Whether he'd get a Premier league job at the moment is all together a different matter.
