Regardless of how 2019/20 pans out it neither proves that sacking Hughton was a good decision, nor does it prove it was a bad decision.

If we finish 10th under a new manager, there is no way of knowing that we wouldn't have finished 9th under Hughton.

if we go down in 18th position under a new manager, there is no way of knowing that we wouldn't have finished 19th under Hughton.

We won't have the benefit of assessing the new manager under the same conditions as Chris Hughton, so there is no way of knowing who would have produced the better outcome.

Even if we go down and hughton gets a promoted team up , it still doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision to sack him.
His time was up.

Careful Bozza or next thing you know it could be a manager poll for NSC?

Whatever the outcome, we can blame it on the "Were Loose" banner on NSC.

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Nobody knows where we'll be. We might have a stonking first season with a new manager, then he loses the dressing room and we go down in the second season!

What saddens me is that when a manager loses the players minds and confidence you have two choices.

1) Sell 25 players and go buy a brand new squad.

2) Sack 1 Manager and appoint a new one.

Option 2 is always the cheapest and easiest, every time.

Although, if the cap fits and all that...

Yeah I agree, not necessarily achievements as such, but if we see a significant change in style with a few changed faces, we may understand better.

At Fulham this season, 3 separate managers couldn't really change their basic weaknesses. Southampton on the other hand transformed by a different approach. Burnley were transformed without changing manager, just the present manager switched back to what he knew best following a disastrous start. Newcastle were transformed simply because a new high quality central midfielder freed them up completely. Football really is a complex old business really for such a simple game.

What we need is a multiverse viewer.

Surely some of the NSC BOFFINS can summon their inner Brian Cox and deliver it before the season recommences?

For the love of Bruno, can we please get rid of that now.

Time to stop living in the past, new season, fresh start, without this only mildly humorous self deprecating joke as our mantra. I know we don't want to be one of those cringy clubs with some kind of wet "yes we can" motto. But I'd rather not have one of those, "think we're funny", "look at how we can poke fun at ourselves" clown jokes either.

I've said it, we've all said it, it was mildly funny for a while. Time to move on.

PLEASE.

I think you know full well there is not one thing that we all can agree on.

Can't wait for the thread bump when we've lost our first five games and Chris Hughton has got WBA top of the Championship unbeaten

I can't wait to lose the first 5 games either.

 

[pb21]

Obviously we won't know.

However if we only ever talk about things we know then not much will ever be said.

As long as people appreciate that fact generally (you do know that you don't know) and act and think fairly and reasonably with awareness of what hasnt happened because it never existed, then there shouldn't be an issue.

I thought Burnley's revival was that they dumped Hart....
