Incredibly ironic that given everything that happened with Hughton and us, we are now reliant on him to get us automatic promotion.
Beat Boro and Watford and you will guarantee us promotion as long as we do our job and beat Rotherham and Fulham. A mutually beneficial arrangement I'm sure you'd...
Amazing how I was shot down and ridiculed when he signed, and I told you this was how it would go, and yet so soon, there's a good proportion who want him gone or are on the fence.
Either way, he's a nice bloke but just not a good manager imo. No Plan B, and no clue what to do when his teams go...
Anyway, I'll leave it there as I don't think I can add much more to this convo. If you want to absolve Hughton of all blame for everything that happened at Norwich, fine, if you are a bit more realistic, and recognise the opportunity probably came a bit too soon for him, but also recognise that...
Winning meaningless games at the end of the season to bump the position up from 16th to 11th? Yeah I'd say that was pretty irrelevant to the conversation to be fair. It makes it look much better than it was on paper is the point.
If you look at our squad last season, compared to other teams, we should never have gone down on paper. RvW has banged them in wherever he has been. Hooper scored 80 something in 120 odd games for Celtic and 29 for Scunthorpe before that. Last season we recorded our lowest EVER goals tally. If...
As mentioned above. 10 game unbeaten run was great, the rest of the season was dire, and we would have finished in the relegation zone had we not picked the points up in that run. 11th was not a true reflection of the season. 25% of that year was great, 75% was absolute nightmare.
Knowing our run of the final 5 games of the season, and having watching 18months of hopeless dross, with no hope of improvement, you'd have said the same. As previously posted, our 5 games after he was sacked, we played Fulham away, Liverpool home, Chelsea away, United away, and Arsenal home in...
I think you'll find that actually, a lot of fans wanted him gone at the end of the first season, and if you trawl far enough back through the Pinkun, you will find several threads to that effect. The position of 11th was false, in so much as we beat West Brom who had nothing to play for and...
Aye, The Pinkun is full of absolute muppets. NorwichTalk is our sensible forum which has a higher calibre of contributions and smaller minority of idiots. I wasn't aware you'd had some of the idiots migrate over here (wasn't one called "FirstWizard" or "Wiz" was there? He's infamous as the...
Cheers pal - Let's hope he has learnt lessons from his time with us. Damage was already done, we dropped points in crucial games we should have won against teams around us - WBA and Fulham (home) being the primary ones that sticks in the mind. It was obvious to all of us he wouldn't keep us up...
No, we sacked him too late. Our CEO publically apologised as the fans wanted CH out before Christmas and the board failed to act. Called the failure to sack Hughton when he should have "The biggest failure of my 32 year career". Nobody at Norwich feels his sacking was premature. He needed to go...

Apologies for starting a new thread, I did read the one when he was appointed, but can't seem to locate it now after I had to wait a day or two for mods to accept my account.
Firstly, I was disappointed to see all the negative comments about NCFC in that thread. Not sure why so many of your...
Two years at Norwich, and still about 50% of the fan base thought his surname was Houghton. Not quite sure why it seems to be so difficult for so many!
