[Albion] Happy Chris Hughton Day

[ozzygull]

I will admit I was a bit underwhelmed when he joined, but bloody hell I was wrong. There could not be a more perfect manger that fits the Albion and his achievements with us have been unbelievable. Fantastic manager and a real gent. Hope he stays with us for a very very long time.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I agree. He needs a chant. And we need to sing it every game. Thank you Chris.

I remember being excited by the appointment of CH and departure of Burke. It coincided with another win at Craven Cottage I think? which wouldn’t be CH’s doing. After the gloom of squad quality downsizing and the constant results. It seemed that TB decided an entirely new approach.

Interesting Read.

I didn't realise that David Wagner played for the USA.

Best manager the club's had. Here's to many more years.

He only needs one thread though

Indeed, he is the Best Manager we have ever had since the last Best Manager we have ever had!

4 years ago I had colleagues who supported Newcastle, Birmingham and Norwich and collectively any of the football supporters at work all suggested CH was a bad appointment and would bring us boring predictable football that would set us back a few years.

How wrong they all were! He has done a terrific job. I personally expected to be in the Premier league but fighting relegation followed by a few yo-yo years but we seem to be battling for a top 10 spot

I wanted CH before we got Sami, There were rumours we approached him, but, something wasn’t right (Burke?) so, TB took a punt on Sami, thankfully he came on the second time of asking.

BG, is that you?

This has all the hallmarks of a BG post.

Hyypia?

Going back four years, can't be arsed to search, what was NSC looking at for a new manager? Was there a collective for CH, was someone else on the radar? What were the rumours of the day? Oh and happy Hughton day.

Quite a lot of halfwits, sorry posters, wanted Hoddle or Sherwood. I was genuinely gobsmacked.

I wonder who I wanted. I feel ashamed to look, I'm sure I posted

Looking at that, Hodgson is the oldest manager in old 4 leagues.

 

[Keith the Kipper]

If he could only curb his touchline behaviour he would be perfect.

I think your work colleagues are not very typical: I've not heard a Geordie or a Birmingham supporter say a bad word about Hughton. The typical Newcastle viewpoint is that he got a raw deal from Ashley and we had got ourselves a decent manager.

I agree that nearly every Norwich fan seems to be against him ... but they're a bit peculiar in that neck of the woods.

Thank you, there is no higher accolade.

It is what I’ve aspired to for years.

Look, just because we’ve got twelve fingers and twelve toes there is absolutely no need to call us Norwich folk peculiar! The fact that I escaped at the age of three and have since won international swimming competitions has nothing to do with it.

The north stand sing, Chrissy Hughton's Blue & White army.

Let us see. Unsurprisingly, Judas Horton got it wrong.

Not sure if the "egg" Clive Walker was referring to was CH or McDermott. Cowfold Seagull thought McDermott was the man or maybe Lee Clarke. Justice wanted Sherwood. Ernest clueless as usual.

Yeah that's been my experience too. Particularly the Geordies who have nothing but massive respect for CH. In fact the way he was treated by Ashley adds to how much they hate the "fat cockney wanker".

Hyypia? [emoji38]

No, not Hypia! The other Best Manager of all Time.

This.

Most of the football fans in my office are Toon fans (unsurprisingly) and not one of them has a bad word to say about CH.
