Otherwise I think many fans would be touting him to be the man for the job.

See Steve Bruce has also hit the betting odds out at 33/1, lets hope he stays that way

Don't think many would care at this point.

Although we're running out of 'successful' Nodge managers at this point with him and Farke.

I’d have no problem with Hughton. I think he is a lot better candidate than either old man Warnock, Harris or most of the others on that sad (if true) list.

I doubt he’s mentioned because surely he’d want a Championship club.

Just been sacked from a struggling championship side so dropping to league 1 not out of the realms of possibilities.

Surprised he hasnt really had a mention though

Absolutely not a bore of a manager.. look.what Forest have done since getting rid. With the same players too!

Yes, Forest's record this season hasn't done much for his reputation.

With Hughton:
W 0, D 1, L 6

Without Hughton:

Forest have been on fire since they dumped him. Were really poor whilst he was there.

I'd been wondering about him & why he'd not been mentioned as a candidate yet, in a post on another thread late last night, but had got his surname wrong, doh!

As others have said, past history really doesn't matter - after all, we accepted Lambert well enough when he first arrived.

I'd be happy if he were appointed.

We’ve got to stop employing managers on a downward curve like Hughton, Warnock etc. We made that mistake with the likes of Jewell, Lambert and possibly Cook.

I went to watch one of his later matches at Brighton before getting the hook. It’d be fair to say he’d gone into full self preservation mode by then. The football was very defensive and unadventurous and the atmosphere on the terraces, hostile.

It’s a “no” from me.

Anyone who can make us better is who I want. I'd rather it not be Mick (he can't come back after telling the fans to fo) or Colin (the right CV but we can't be hiring another manager in June).

I wouldn't care if Delia or Stephen Fry were appointed as our manager, as long as they can improve us.

He just needed more time to gel his team.

The drama queens forced him out.

Suffolk based Brighton fan here. Very glad to see this thread.

Hughton is arguably our best ever manager. Took us from a relegation-threatened Championship side part way through a season to safety, play-off the next (missing out on automatics on goal difference), promotion the next and two seasons in the PL, with an FA Cup semi-final too. Considering that was his second to last job, that is hugely impressive. It didn’t work out for him at Forest, but he still kept them up. And besides, who has it worked out for at Forest in the last ten years? His reputation has been unfairly tarnished by a bad 2 month period at the end of his Brighton career and it not going right at Forest.

Those who say Hughton is defence-minded are short-sighted. He was for Brighton and Norwich in the PL, but he had to be where survival is everything. Anyone who watched Brighton for the two years we were in the Championship with him will know that the football was excellent. We beat the budgies 5-0 for crying out loud!

Dignified, humble and hard-working. Chris is a wonderful manager and human being and I genuinely don’t think he’d have anything to lose coming to Ipswich - and possibly everything to gain.

He just needed another 3-4 players in January. All his current players weren't playing for him.
