The Falkirk FC website mentions interest from England for their manager but you have to register to access the information. BBC sports were reporting on a Scottish newspaper report linking him with us and Blackpool.
You'll probably remember Yogi off Blooper programmes, as the player who ran around the pitch naked doing a warm up with the presenter in front doing a piece to camera.
I never self-promote, but I am at the stage where I wake in the morning and ask myself, 'Have I taken Falkirk as far as I possibly can?'" Hughes told the Daily Record.
"I've not heard from Blackpool or Charlton and it is only speculation, but if the opportunity came to manage either of those clubs I would have to consider it seriously.
"It is flattering that clubs may be interested in you. It might upset one or two Falkirk players, but I am honest and ambitious and have earned my stripes, but I care deeply about this football club and I have unfinished business here.
"I have never hidden the fact that I have ambitions to manage down south.
"There is a squad of Scottish managers there - Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes, Alex McLeish, Alan Irvine and Owen Coyle - and I'd like to join them.
"It would be the next stage in my development.
"If the chance to do so arose, I don't think the Falkirk supporters would hold it against me."
Sounds like he's created the speculation himself. not that he ever self-promotes...

We'd have Macauley Culkin in centre midield, only in his mid-twenties, could still do a job. If he wanted experience, he could call on some of his 80's charges, Anthony Micheal Hall, Judd Nelson & even Molly Ringwald! Another midfield schemer would be Ferris Bueller! Would outsmart any defence! ;-)
If we want someone with loads of passion, positive experience as manager (of Falkirk), someone from the outside with no ties to the current regime, than Hughes should be someone to consider.
Seems he has decent credentials. To be honest I am still not convinced that the board have even got a shortlist. Quoted as saying " I have not been approached " which of course implies Charlton are not even close to appointing someone because in our current situation he is a manager that ought to be in the frame. I put my supprt behind Di Canio but its a leap to far I think for our board. If I was a betting man I might well have a punt on Mark Robson.
Although we are shite & massive odds-on to go down, surely this is a good time to be coming in as Manager.
Huge amount of goodwill from the fans & a very low base to start from. You will be compared to your recent predecessors' records, which post Curbs are all shocking. Little downside, apart of course from taking us down & even then you'd probably not be directly blamed, so much as pitied for what occurred before you joined.

I reckon you're right there. If we stay up you're a hero, if we don't it ain't your fault. I bet there are plenty licking their lips at the thought.
just like when pardew arrived no one really thought we'd stay up so there was little downside to our inevitable relegation for pardew cos he had a two year master plan lol...
so the new manager will have to make sure he announces a two year plan ;-)

[cite]Posted By: leftbehind[/cite]cant see how he was linked
Reported that he is interested in coming South both us and Blackpool looking for a manager also read somewere neither club have ben in touch
Is that really a link?
No you're right it's not a link, it's really just him announcing that he'd like to manage in England eventually. Sounds like he'd definitely take the job if offered.

There was a John Hughes who was a big goal scoring Scottish winger in the seventies but he is probably too old and not this one.
His teams always play football on the floor.
Some of you lot know totally nothing about football. . . .
Is it the old winger?

Exactly the situation Pards walked into.
