[Albion] Chris Hughton leaves with immediate effect

[Thunder Bolt]

Others also forget how those equally vital losses to Cardiff x 2 & Burnley were largely due to awful refereeing decisions against us.

Especially the most blatant handball you will ever see in a penalty area.

Hardly #togthether after a tough season making the person largely responsible for the success the scapegoat, and putting him out of a job. No one else responsible for the dip in form? Recruitment team? Some of the players performing below par? #together is great in the good times, but it means so much more when the going gets tough.

Because you know for a fact CH is going to be the only scapegoat ?

I feel disappointed for him and I gave him the benefit of the doubt over the recruitment policy of the club.

Clearly the club do have faith in the recruitment but not Chris's coaching team, training methods and style of play and the club believe that the players should be performing a lot better. Maybe Hughton is just a bit too old school for the modern game? I blamed the bad performances on crap players but it probably goes deeper than that behind the scenes.

I am pretty certain that the club have already hired the new manager and coaching staff but my heart goes out to Chris and his family because this would have been a massive shock to them.

1 class manager sacked by 3 different clubs when he’s delivered what has been asked of him! outcome exactly the same, timing is irrelevant, our club has now become “just another club” can’t see it any other way at the moment I’m afraid.
#Together

Yeah, I'm sure it's just a coincidence...

 

[On the way]

Or 3 clubs got it right?

Maybe? maybe not? I, personally, thought we were better than this that’s all, and I think we can now climb off our high horse having criticised the two other clubs, and Norwich fans, for their treatment of Chris Hughton.

Mass sackings would be even worse. The season was poor, but was it that much of a disaster?

I gave up reading after 25 pages.....has anyone accused the club or Bloom of being racist yet?

The second part of it has ... another round or two of games and we were gone

The kick it out dude

Trigger happy owners maybe? Here’s hoping ours hasn’t just joined that gang!

How many points would have been acceptable for Chris to keep his job - 38, 39, 40? It is a sad fact that (probably) the best manager we've ever had has been badly let down by certain players with their abject performances since the new year. Chris Hughton will always be a legend for me, but at least we can now look for a manager whose name might get spelt correctly by more than 50% of users on here.

At least the same amount of points as last season would have been a good start.

[Tesco in Disguise]

Shocked and disappointed. I think Chris deserved at least another season. Such a lovely bloke and I was proud he was our manager.

I really hope we don't end up regretting this decision. If we hire someone like Pardew or McLaren I'm giving up on the club.

 

[symyjym]

Interesting wording in the article in the Argus.

Said about Bloom not wanting to invest in CH for another transfer window. Some on here would have you believe CH had little input on transfers.

I think this is the wrong conclusion tbf. Certain managers can attract different types of players and make negotiations easier. Every game that we play is an advert for us and the manager so if the manager's advert is poor it is hard to recruit.

 

[blockhseagull]

I don’t want to speak badly of CH he will always be a legend at this club for what he has achieved.

I can’t help thinking the fact when the chips were down in that series of home games his inability to galvanize the team and get the results to get us over the line are what cost him.

Dyche, Warnock etc seem to be able to squeeze every single inch out of the players they work with. However since Xmas for whatever reason we looked to be doing the exact opposite with a team that looked nervous, scared and often like 11 individuals rather than a team.

Burnley had an awful first half of the season.
Cardiff got relegated.

I agree... I think CH had plenty to do with who came in and who didn’t.

Missing the point, Burnley when the chips were down after being distracted by Europa league improved and fought there way out of it. Cardiff got better as the season went on and would have caught us.

We had no fight or desire when we needed it.
