Pepe the Horseman Chris Hughton takes over. Surprisingly sensible and obviously very good appointment.


He took a while to get Brighton going IIRC, their fans were still deeply sceptical in the summer of 2015, after he’d spent 5/6 months there

Whether Forest will give him the time he needed at Brighton is another thing

Yep, solid appointment. Has a 40%+ win record everywhere except Norwich, albeit he took over a side struggling in the PL.

Hadn't realised how old he is. 61 now, didn't get his first managerial appointment until 50.

IIRC he was no.2 at Spurs for quite some time.

Weird. 5th in the league and haven't lost all season, guess Neville wanted to give his mate a job.

We need more ginger managers after Gary Megson got sacked from every job he's ever had.

Don't think bringing on a striker for a CDM with 10 minutes to go on Saturday helped. They were 2 up at the time and ended up giving away 2 goals late on. Apparently not the first time he's done it either

Still, as you say, slightly strange

He's had 7 games at Oldham.

1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses....

BBC Sport understands that Scholes is very much only a temporary fix - the owners want to give the job to Warren Joyce, the club's Head of Youth Development, but he is currently isolating with COVID symptoms. He is expected to take charge in a couple of weeks.

That said, Talksport are leading this morning with Roy Keane making 'a stunning return to management at Salford City.'

Keane would be a disaster at that level. There are many stories out there from players who played under him about how frustrated he was with players who weren't as good as he was and that was at Premier League level. Imagine what he would be like at League 2 level!

14 years ago.....

There have been countless reports of how he manages players and it is very obvious he couldn't cope at League 2 level, he seemingly cannot understand why other players cannot be as good as he was. This is the man who walked out on Ireland during the World Cup because the facilities weren't good enough for him. How much is he going to enjoy Harrogate away?

That is when he was last successful as a manager. You clearly have some sort of hard on for Roy Keane that has clouded your judgement of his managerial ability.
