    Will Southampton try and tempt him back to help keep them up again?

    No, we are 8th in Div 2 not as if we are out clear.

    Hughes is with us for a long time.

    In this day and age what's a long time for a manager would you say, if as you say he's here long term would that suggest you think Hughes will be successful at Valley Parade if so I do hope your correct.

    Just a gut feeling with nothing to back it up but I believe if Huges can take us up and continue improving the club with regards the footballing side he would be quite happy to stay, as I believe Parkinson was until Rack & Ruin bought the club.

    Why take the risk of moving to another club if he's got the club on a good footballing footing, does he need the money I doubt it, and although his time in the Premier League (never managed outside the Premier League until he came to Bradford City) was far from poor does he need the hassle that goes with the unreal expectations of some of these over rated clubs.

    Is this a serious thread or a pi££ take? He wouldn't be in their top 100 choices.

    No. His stock is nowhere near high enough. More chance of them re-employing Hassenhuttle

    Having gone for a UK manager last time no doubt it will be a foreigner this time.

    He definitely wouldn't but if he was I'd be happy enough to see us take a bit of compo and move on.
