Shame Hughton managed Norwich 17:15 - Dec 13 with 2256 views | kizaitfc | 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 |  |

Shame Hughton managed Norwich on 17:19 - Dec 13 with 1857 views | Churchman | 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 |  |

Yes, Forest's record this season hasn't done much for his reputation. With Hughton: W 0, D 1, L 6 Without Hughton: W 8, D 6, L 1 |  | |  |

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

Shame Hughton managed Norwich on 18:07 - Dec 13 with 1592 views | Ryorry | 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. [Post edited 13 Dec 2021 18:08]

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. |  |

I don't care anymore on 18:30 - Dec 13 with 1463 views | ScottCandage | 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. |  |

Shame Hughton managed Norwich on 19:30 - Dec 13 with 1198 views | GOSBTS | 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. |  | |  |

Excellent insights & balanced view greatly appreciated, thanks. All best to you and BAHA for rest of the season 👠|  |

Bruce can want whatever he likes, but I'd rather he works on some more works of fiction for us to enjoy. |  |

Cheers, but no thanks. My Forest supporting mate was bored to death of him there. |  | |  |

He just needed another 3-4 players in January. All his current players weren't playing for him. [Post edited 13 Dec 2021 20:33]
