Nah, Rooney is doing a fine job there IMO.

My condolencesJust taken over as Ghana Head Coach...
Hughton named Ghana head coach
Former Brighton manager Chris Hughton has been appointed head coach of the Ghana national team.www.bbc.co.uk
Ayew - 'He tells us to get the ball and attack the opposition half and goal.'Chris Hughton speaking with Andre Ayew on their Ghanaian meetup.
"So Andre, just how does Steve Cooper manage to do it?"
"I could tell you Chris, but I'd have to kill you. Let's just say, he's magic"
That interview needs to be archived, given that simply a new manager got the same players in line for play off contention, and a couple of shrewd additions in the next window such as Kienan Davis and Sam Surridge got them over the line.Hughton dropping Kudus in favour of Ayew in trying to get himself sacked again.
I absolutely despise the man. There's been a lot of Forest managers I've really really disliked but I think Hughton tops the lot. Will never forgive him for his Boro pre-match interview where he said the team wasn't good enough to survive.
f***ing ****.

I think Chris is a nice guy who has a good track record at least before joining us, and who did his best for us too, we had a difficult season when he was in charge with covid restrictions and who knows what other protocols they had to do whilst training and on matchdays as well as no fans being allowed in (which is always an advantage for us at home!) which might have otherwise made it not work out (other than the obvious of him not being good enough) but ultimately it didn't work out for him. I guess the negative style of play didn't really help matters either but then how much more defensive was he compared to Karanka, O'Neill or Lamouchi? It ultimateiy didn't work for him so sacking him was the right thing to do and the attitude in that interview and others was a bit defeatist but he did also get us Lowe, Spence, Zinckernagel on loan as well as Garner the season before who ultimately came back. It wasn't all bad, and I certainly don't hate him for his time with us, though we should have done better.
My Bluenose supporting friends were dead set against him and his playing style at Birmingham.To this day, I'm genuinely confused by Hughton. Confused that he came to us such a great reputation in the game. Confused as to how he built such a reputation when he effortlessly alienated fans and players alike, played negative football and failed to utilise his players strengths.
A bit like our Jonjo he did exude a bit of 'I know best' after his Billy big balls prem years. He was truly awful for us.People only say he's a nice guy because everyone tells us he's a nice guy whenever he is brought up in any conversation. It may well be true but the way he acted throughout his time here was quite nasty & indicates that he had a large ego and self importance sprinkled with a dose of dourness.
I still wake up in cold sweats about the Hughton + Lyle Taylor covid combo.
I wouldn't have put it past him to get Ghana relegated. Not sure how it's possible, but Hughton would find a way I am sure.Harsh sacking. It's not his fault even if he played players out of position and told them they were crap. The reality is Mohammed Kudus is a league one clogger. Hughton deserved more time.
