Funnily enough the first thing I said when I heard Hodgson will be England manager is, Baggies will now go for Hughton!

I would of course be devastated to see Hughton go, the mans nothing short of a genius for what he's achieved this season, getting us a play off spot with the smallest squad in the league, while getting through over 60 games, is brilliant.

I would totally respect his decision if he chose to go to Baggies, he at least would leave with respect and dignity, and if I had to choose a club I would rather him go to, Baggies would be my first. Great team, decent fans, not all stuck in a dream world unlike your dear neighbours.

Surley Mcleish or Mick Mcarthy would be a better shout.
Can every one please shut the fook up about taking CH. weve heard all this from Vile and wolves fans and now the baggies are joining in the hunt.
There are loads of managers out there not working so please leave us alone and look elswhere. We got loads to contaend with as it is without adding to it.
I wish the Baggies well (unlike vile and the deluded ww fans) but without CH. KRO

Sorry Sharky it's not a personal attack on Blues but it's a dog eat dog sport. You offering up names such as Mcleish and McCarhty only makes my feeling towards getting Hughton in even stronger.

Luckily we have a chairman and technical director that will prevent us from ever seeing the likes of MM and AM here. Our technical director will of known of the chance of Hodgson joining England months ago and would have drawn up a short list and been scouting for potential replacements for a while now. That's how the club is run. We're in good hands and should Roy get the job in the next few hours.... i'm sure we ourselves will act quickly

CYStrongest Cell Bar - great comments mate cheers Like i said i've nothing at all against Blues (got family Bluenose) it's purely down to how well he's done with you.

Bet Fair odds this morning make Hughton favourite with Martinez in second. I wouldn't be unhappy with either to be honest.

Is there any way that you guys could offer Roy some more money or something to stay?

Please.

I can see Steve Bruce getting the WBA job.

Youll get Megson back..beware!!

Mick McCarthy is in talks with a view to becoming the new Baggies boss.

if blues dont go up, wba ought to go for hughton.

but anyone other than bruce will do.

Get Smegson back. But please do it before we play you.

Doubtful considering we play you Saturday however Roy is still managing us 'til the end of the season. <augh>

harry rednapp has done well with spurs..
same can be said in relation to money spent and finances available with roy at wba..

england manager cant look round the world for players and he cant "buy" success..

england boss has to pick the right squad..pick the right team from that squad for a particular match and get the best he can from the players involved..

having a "finite" number of players to choose from without being able to "bolster" your squad or bring in the "big player" every summer or in the "transfer windows" would be as hard for harry as for roy, but at least roy already has experience of "making do" and competing well with what he has got..
I have no problem at all with him getting the job.. The talk of him getting "terry and ferdinand" together in peace talks is worrying...drop them both, they are both on the other side of the hill, they both have too much to say and too much influence and not enough in their "legs" anymore to warrant it..
