I think the Hughton one is interesting, its probably a bit disrespectful to Blues to assume he would jump to come to us, from what i have seen of him he seems a decent and loyal bloke and Blues gave him a chance which he took and i think he may well show some loyalty.
However if this whole financial thing is as bad as appears with Blues and they dont go up, cant sign players, etc he may also think that he has done all he can.
As much as i would like a Martinez, Rodgers, Lambert, Adkins for their style i also think that although we are appealing to some managers i think those managers may well look at us as a bit of a sideways move. We are probably around where we are going to finish each season so they may look and think can we actually make them that much better, where as the clubs they are at now there reputations are golden and they can afford to probably get relegated and know they would have another year in the job.
Thats not putting us down, i think we are an attractive propostion to many managers, good league position, well run, good academy, no debt, history, facilities, fanbase, etc but i also wonder how many managers who are proven or are on a high at the moment would be prepared to come in under our setup, not knocking our setup, the club is more important than any one person but not sure all managers would fancy the setup.
