So, you compare Hughton's worse ten games (when limited attacking options were reduced further with both Baldock and March out) compared to Hyypia's best ten.
Whatever you say about Hyypia, his last 18 games only produced one win. That is terrible. He only won three from 22 in total. Hughton...
Between Middlesbrough and Norwich. The former as it's a long way and we might well get Sunderland as well next season and the latter as I think they'll be the favourites next year if they don't go up. I definitely don't want Ipswich and Brentford to go up as they are good local games and are...
Because Hughton did keep us up. Hyypia was failing to do so (and miserably).
Completely disagree about Hyypia. He had no common sense and kept playing the wrong players (e.g. sticking with Forster-Caskey and Gardner over Holla and Ince). He made good players worse and failed to inspire the fans...
Actually, we had enough points to stay up (as it turned out) with eight games to go. That is pretty comfortable. To call it skin of our teeth, we'd have to have had a realistic chance of going down on the last game, which we didn't. That might be more down to other team's incompetence than our...
To be fair, that's not always true. We played really well against Leeds and Ipswich for example. We lost our way in the last month but we had very limited options. Losing both Baldock and March meant our limited attacking options were even more limited.
I'm not saying Hughton is perfect and...
Yes, he had limited options and hoped to get the best out of someone he'd managed before. It didn't work out. How many goalscoring strikers do you think were available in January? The only obvious one was Afobe and he cost a lot and wouldn't have gone to a team struggling at the bottom.
Do you seriously think he's worse than Hyypia? Seriously? Were you at Derby or the Millwall home game? Points per game under Hyypia, we've have gone down. We've stayed up quite comfortably in the end. It's post like this that make you realise how clueless our fans are. No team can be mid table...
1) I think Warburton might be looking a little further up than us after what he's achieved at Brentford.
2) Football is full of managers who do great at one club but fail at others e.g. Eddie Howe
3) Did you see Brentford are in the play offs? Even if wants to come here, we wouldn't get him in...
I've said this before, I can't believe anyone seriously thinks this is a good idea. We need stability! The last two summers we have struggled with managerial uncertainty. We desperately need stability and to give Hughton the funds to work with to improve the squad and do better next season. It's...
How's that a mess of contradictions. If you read the post it is very clear. I rated him and that put me in the minority because most people didn't (so your claim that everyone could see how good he was and the club ignored it is complete rubbish).
I love it when people make up stuff to fuel their argument. My memory of Chris Wood was lots of people on here and at the ground moaning about him and saying he wasn't good enough for us. I rated him at the time and he scored goals for us but I was definitely in the minority.
What a pointless, boring thread. Nothing new that's not been moaned about a million times before. Murray was a mistake. Nobody denies that but seriously can we stop going on about it.
As for Cook and Elphick. Cook wasn't ready for the first team, he wanted to go and was out of contract at the...
Why would you think he's not serious? Under Saudi law, what he mentioned is the law. Surely anyone who's saying that crap about "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime" should agree with those actions from Saudi Arabia. He's just following your logic.
A lot of people who are executed, in case you hadn't noticed. For the record, one of the men executed today was mentally ill. Are you okay with that? Another was executed under the wrong name as the Indonesian authorities wouldn't accept that he entered the country with a false passport.
The...
Are you serious? You don't understand the difference between being locked up and being executed. We're not talking about giving long prison terms (which is the right thing). We're talking about state supported murder (which is morally wrong).
That's what I don't get about people who support the death penalty. There are so many examples of people who were wrongly executed and others, since the death penalty has been abolished, who would have been before. How can anyone support a law that wrongly kills people? If one person out of...
