Chris Hughton: West Bromwich or Birmingham?

West Bromwich will face tough stance from Birmingham for their manager, if West Brom will approach Chris Hughton to be their new manager to replace Roy Hodgson. Last year there were talks with Chris but at that time he was a free agent, after being sacked from Newcastle. But now Birmingham are keen to hold on to Hughton. In fact some sources at Birmingham said that from when Hughton took over Birmingham improved a lot, and he is highly rated there. Birmingham are planning for next year already and this is done with the manager. Birmingham are keen to avoid a situation like last year, were Aston Villa wanted Alex McLeish, and he handed he resignation.
