Didn't he have to play Tomori as part of the loan deal? If he'd signed Brooks he would still be in the U23s 'until he's ready'. Hughton was simply too cautious to bring through the likes of Gyokeres for anything other than the odd game.

It’s a bit easier to slip a youngster into an already successful and winning team

strong and stable with me, or...
We’ll find out if Potter sees premier league potential where Hughton didn’t, or another manager concludes they’re not good enough. I didn’t see much from Gyokeres to suggest he was kept out unreasonably.

Some games we were very poor. But there were plenty where we weren't.
That 'horrendous' football kept us up. Give me that over Fulham's season any day.

Sure - but no ones advocating for a ‘Fulham approach’. It’s not one thing or the other, in fact the two approaches (Hughton and Fulham) are at such different ends of the spectrum there is a huge amount of room for change without getting near the Fulham situation (a completely incomparable situation given their transfer dealings and loans ending). But you know that.

Never likely to be announced on a Sunday , dont think the club have ever announced something this important on a weekend so was always going to be Monday or Tuesday. Factor in the logistics of a press conference & the obligatory photo with the club scarf a weekday was always more likely. Dont see a problem with his back room staff not being in Sussex yet as they will obviously have told GP they are following him or not well before now.

Pluckiest club in the league
No idea cant remember but a sacking does not require a press conference like an appointment does.
And so would CH if our game v City was played on a Saturday.

Maybe although if it continued we would probably get relegated next season playing so lamely. Bloom knew it and decided to change things, Wolves stuck with McCarthy after an almost identical season and went down the following.
Anyway the worst scenario for us fans is Championship football for TB is a massive loss of income and obviously by his statement does not want to lose the PL cash can’t blame him really.

But there is nothing to say we would have continued to play so badly.
We might have or we might have signed different players and played better.
Wolves may have gone down but Watford this year had an amazing season after sticking with a manager most fans wanted out after a terrible run at the end of last season.
He is gone and we need to move on but people stating with such confidence that we would have gone down under Hughton are imho overlooking the good work he did for us and disrespecting him.
There is simply no way of knowing if we would have gone down with him next season. What we do know is we didn't go down in his 2 Premier League seasons with us.
