I think we need to be careful and, whilst congratulating him on the job he has done this season, hold back full judgement until next season.
One thing I am grateful for is that he comes across as a genuinely nice fella. PR is massively important and having ignorant dickheads like Joe Kinnear swearing at a room full of journalists is something that we are all much better off without. Whilst Hughton may not be the most charasmatic of people, I am pleased to have a likeable man in front of the cameras for a change.
