    Well pleased for the man, why he was booted out of the place north of Bolden hills is beyond me, I for one thought him a great, and dignified professional, so to him " good luck Chris" hopefully see you next season,

    Sky ,

    Birmingham have confirmed the appointment of Chris Hughton as their new manager at St Andrews.

    Hughton replaces Alex McLeish after the Scot resigned from his role with the Blues to take charge of city rivals Aston Villa.

    The former Newcastle boss beat former West Brom chief Roberto Di Matteo to take charge of the Blues.

    A statement on the club's official website confirmed that Hughton will take charge immediately and they will be hoping he can repeat his achievement at Newcastle in steering them to immediate promotion from the Championship.

    Hughton has been out of work since parting company with the Magpies after a 3-1 defeat at West Brom in early December.

    But he has impressed Birmingham acting chairman Peter Pannu when being interviewed during the past few days and he has now been handed the task of leading the club back into the Premier League.

    If by scum you mean Mike Ashley, then aye he did...

    Our fans loved him for, as Bill said, being dignified and professional. Personally I wish him all the best and really hope he succeeds. He was the first manager since Sir Bobby I was truly proud to have at the helm!

    Fair comment.
    Genuinely pleased for him and I agree, he was a good manager who handled being shat on with a great measure of dignity.

    Genuine answer, haven't a fooking clue ...however, even though he's one of our own, I think it's past time he moved on a tad and developed his online character a bit. Even Roger's calmed down, now that he attends the 'green bars'.
