As things stand, to me he's the obvious appointment. The job is surely to keep us up and then go on his merry way, Pearson style? The board must have already had a proper target in mind for the end of the season, who will be appointed as long as we're still in the prem? Hughes knows the league inside out, knows the players games, strengths and weaknesses......best option for a short term fix, imho.
