Hughton Heading Back To St James' Park Next Season?

Former Toon boss Chris Hughton has taken Birmingham on a storming run up the Championship table and we could see him with his Brum side in the Premiership next season. Nathan Redmond enhanced his burgeoning reputation with a superbly-taken late volley as Birmingham beat Portsmouth 1-0 to move up to third in the npower Championship. The highly-rated 17-year-old substitute was brought on to bring much-needed life to City's attacking play and he did just that, with his 86th-minute swivelled volley seeing off a Portsmouth side who had appeared set for a battling point. Birmingham boss Chris Hughton says he is under no illusions about how good Redmond can become although while also keeping his feet on the floor. Chris Hughton: "He's a wonderful player. "He's a real talent, we genuinely don't like to get too carried away about players because we've seen it before when you get a player who doesn't get to the levels you think he is going to. "At the moment I think we've managed him quite well."
