My take ROD is the guy is proven-he is going to need a upgrade of players which i'm sure he will want assurances from the powers that be before he takes the job.
I found the thread from last time around, could be interesting reading. https://not606.com/threads/lets-just-say-i-think-we-are-going-to-be-happy-fans.321081/ Beginning of course with some 'insider' knowledge of who the new boss was going to be . And RoD straight in there as always!
Well, whoever it is, if we aren't at least 12th, 9 points off the playoffs with 5 games left to go then he will have done worse than the man he replaced had done, at that particular stage in the season.

Chris Hughton has agreed a deal to take over as Bristol City's next manager https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...ris-Hughton-agreed-Bristol-Citys-manager.html
Copied and Paste from another site-interesting read Hello. Brighton fan in here, in peace. I just wanted to say that I think you've made a fantastic appointment in Chris Hughton. He's an excellent manager and a very decent and measured guy. He did an amazing job with us, taking us on near the bottom of the Championship, getting us promoted and then keeping us up twice. The end of his reign here was pretty dismal but he is still thought of as arguably our best ever manager. He is often criticised for being negative or too defensive. He is certainly a pragmatist and at time in the PL he took a safety first approach but that is largely due to the fact that we had a good defence and almost nothing up front (except for Glenn Murray who was already in his mid-thirties when we were promoted). In his final season with us we started really well but, in my opinion, CH struggled to accommodate some new, expensive (and largely ****) signings in to the team who, I suspect, were not really his cup of tea to begin with. We lost our way and we survived by being very defensive and grinding out points. Still, in his two years in charge in the PL we stayed up twice, beat Man Utd twice, got some very pleasing wins against Palace and got to the FA Cup semi-final. Unless you're about to spent £500m on new players, that is, sadly, about as good as it gets as a "small" PL club. We're all there to make up the numbers and give the big clubs someone to thrash. I haven't seen much of Bristol City of late so am not sure how you guys set up or what your strengths and weaknesses are. However, in the Championship we mostly played a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 and we weren't a particularly defensive or cautious side. We had a good squad, played good football and scored lots of goals. One thing that is often overlooked with CH is his man management. He did an excellent job at Brighton of managing some big characters (Knockaert was INCREDIBLE for us but is also a big personality and very emotional) and also keeping everyone together when we missed out on promotion one season on goal difference. Anyway, a bit of a ramble but I wish you all the best with CH. I, and many other Brighton fans, will be keeping an eye on you next season and hoping to see you in the PL in the next few years.
There is a bit towards the bottom of the report that says If Hughton is confirmed as City's next manager, it will be the fifth club of his managerial career and his third spell in the Championship. So they’ve left it open to be incorrect.
Red Robin can start to get his favourite ****ing sock out soon. His sheet will be coming out in about 9 months time
