Can’t say I’ve ever warmed to Chris Hughton, he seems a miserable so in so but you can’t ignore his record. I wasn’t keen on him over the Bong- Rodriguez situation either, back your own player yes but he should have kept his trap shut at the Hawthorns in the Cup.
Having said that the question I ask is, how would we feel if Boro appointed him? I suppose we’d have them down as a team with a strong chance of promotion. If that’s the case then we have to seriously consider him.
Out of all the others I’m not sure, as for Jimmy Shan I say fair play, the lads done well but as with Moore, seeing your team over the line for the end of the season and having the job full time are two different entities. I must say though, he handled the Villa games brilliantly given the problems with sendings off etc. I’d risk sticking with him unless someone really tempting comes along, but as regards preparation for a new season that could prove to be a mistake. The only other person who I do wonder about is Gary Monk.
