Dokko Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Bookies think he's Norwich bound. Bookies had him nailed on for about 4 jobs this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Better off staying at Brum isn't he? Can't see him getting any money to keep norwich up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Think he'll have a task on his hands keeping them up next season if he does go mind, wish him all the luck though, will be nice to see him back at SJB. is he going to be arriving by coach? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Breaking News on the BBC site that Norwich have been given permission to speak to Hughton about the vacant managerial position: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18337670 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Tough job for Hughton, they overachieved last season and might lose a player or two. Good that he's being given a chance in the Prem again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjraby Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wonder what the odds of Guthrie following him to Norwich are? FWIW, the feeling down here about Hughton coming in seems very positive, not seen one negative comment thus far! Will be a tough ask for him but I reckon he's up to the job.

Guest Phil K Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Better off staying at Brum isn't he? Can't see him getting any money to keep norwich up. He nearly did it at Birmingham, with less to work with (a LOT less seeing as there was an exodus of players) and he'll be virtually told either top 2 by Christmas or you're out, whereas he's got more to work with, albeit in a tougher league - a LOT tougher - and being sacked at a Prem club will still lead to jobs, but at a Championship club only one way and thats down. Personally, I think he would have got Brum close again, but not up - he'd already expected to lose some players and he'd be back to square one and needed to build just about from scratch. Better to go to Norwich even for less money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wish Hughton the best of luck, but he's probably getting relegated. I'd have stayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Want Hughton to do well which was very hard whilst he was at Birmingham as I loathe them so happy for him to go to Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wish Hughton the best of luck, but he's probably getting relegated. I'd have stayed. Birmingham financially are in a big black hole as things stand so think they'd struggle if they have to sell players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Wish Hughton the best of luck, but he's probably getting relegated. I'd have stayed.

Jack Flash Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 If Chrissy keeps them up this coming season then he will have done well imo. They were 1 point off finishing 10th last season. They should be aiming for similar this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Not when they lose their top scorer and other teams get stronger (including the well backed promoted sides. Will be similar to us expecting a top 5 finish again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Very, very difficult task for him - Norwich currently one of my predictions for relegation as it stands. He'll need to find his feet at the club quickly but it'll represent a good chance to grow and shine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be similar to us expecting a top 5 finish again. Norwich will probably get stronger too. The Holt money (if he even goes) plus any funds Hughton gets will give them a good chance to improve their squad. Time will tell about the promoted teams, though WBA, Swansea, Villa and possibly Wigan are all basically starting from scratch too. The bottom half will be massively interesting next year.
