There is a golden rule in football management - you NEVER jump ship to manage your derby rivals!
Harry Redknapp found out the hard way that it never works.
Football supporters have long memories, and the fact is you DON'T do it.
Why did McLeish take the Villa job? MONEY, MONEY and more MONEY.
Birmingham boss Chris Hughton has ruled himself out of the running for the vacant managerial post at near rivals Wolves, and Brum supporters must be delighted ... having been SHIT ON by McLeish
Hughton had been mentioned as an outsider for the role in the wake of Mick McCarthy's sacking on Monday after five and a half years in charge at Molineux.
Hughton has done a stirring job since taking over at St Andrews, with the Blues unbeaten at home in the npower Championship this season as they push for promotion back to the Barclays Premier League.
Chris Hughton: "Yes there is the speculation linking me with Wolves, and anything like that is always very flattering.
"On the television I saw three names mentioned, so I presume that's where it's going and I just hope they pick the right person.
"I have a very challenging job to do here and I've got a group of lads who are desperate to do well this season and I'm desperate to guide them through.
"Am I ruling myself out?
"I'm desperate to guide this group of players out to the end, yes."
It is understood, meanwhile, Wolves are to begin interviewing prospective candidates on Wednesday, with Alan Curbishley, Steve Bruce and Neil Warnock the three key names in the frame.
