Hughton in!

[el_ciddy]

So let me get this straight. A single Norwich fan slags off Hughton, so he/she and you must be right!?

they're married actually not single.

I watched a LOT of Newcastle during the Hughton 'era' and I can't say I found any of it especially impressive or inspiring. He won the Championship at a canter with a squad far and away better than any other team in it. Most of the actual management and motivation was reportedly done by a cabal of senior players (Coloccini, Nolan, Barton, Harper, etc.) He wouldn't be the worst appointment in the world, but also has no record of actually being able to cut it when the going gets tough. He wouldn't be my choice, but then again, I'm just a mouth on a message board and a ticket for a seat.

Makes you wonder seeing as how that team was so awesome how they managed to get relegated in the first place.

If Kevin Nolan likes him, that's a good enough reason for him not to get the job.

That made I chuckle. I actually think CH and the Albion would be a good fit. If he gets the job, we will all have to get behind him, to get our club out of the shit we are in at the moment.

Yep, my points exactly

Have you really fallen for the "mate of mine has just forwarded me an email" trick

BRIGHTON CLOSE TO APPOINTING NEW BOSS

Brighton and Hove Albion are just days away from announcing their new manager after the resignation of Sami Hyypia earlier this month, according to chief executive Paul Barber.

Speaking to Sky Sports on Monday evening, Barber said: “The chairman is back from Australia and is very much part of the process. Over the course of the next few days we expect to come to a fairly quick decision.

“We’ve been working down to a shortlist which we’re down to now. We worked from quite a long list and narrowed it down quickly because of the time of year we’re in at the moment.

“We certainly want someone in to contribute to the transfer window. We’ve got a big transfer window coming up and want one or two reinforcements into the squad to boost our squad as it stands and our league position as quickly as possible.”

what would the trick be?
That my mate didnt say this but I did?
So what difference does that really make to the points made?

 

[tiotom92]

every time he was promoted it was with far and away the best squad in the league

He was promoted once so not sure what you mean by every time?

then he has a season of mediocrity, the owners realise he's actually useless when the going gets tough and he has an even playing field, and they sack him

After his promotion he was 11th in the Premier League with Newcastle and sacked. 11th with a newly promoted team is not 'mediocrity'.

also you will realise fans from every club hes been to have been happy to see the back of him

"Before the match against Liverpool, on 11 December, campaigners from United For Newcastle organised a protest outside St James' Park as an opportunity for supporters to thank Hughton and to show their anger towards Ashley's decision."

Doesn't seem like Newcastle fans were glad to see the back of him.

Any other key facts you fancy getting wrong?

Which bit or bits did you fail to understand? Is that more about you? Happy to clarify...

S/be 1 or 2 hours by now, not a few days.

Just been forwarded this from a Norwich fan;

"Looks like Hughton’s going to be the next Albion manager. He was manager of Norwich for a few years and I don’t understand how he has still has a career in football, he doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing and can’t do tactics or substitutions. Worst of all by far is the style of play- he’s the most defensive, dull, non-creative manager around. I can only think that because he was briefly manager of Newcastle people still think he’s a decent manager. He’s terrible. "

bit worried now.

Not that different to what I've heard from a Norwich fan (while he was managing them). Think it went pretty wrong at the end, especially once they signed Van Wolfswinkel and Hooper as an expensive strike force and they didn't score many!

Think he was okay in the first season or two there but lost it quite badly. I'm hopeful, given he did well at Newcastle and Birmingham, that he'll do well for us in the Championship. If he did get us up, then he'll have done more than anyone else and we could worry about his ability to manage in the Premier League then!

I would prefer Pulis (and still don't think we can rule that out if Sherwood gets the West Brom job), but it does seem people are writing him off already. Typical NSC.

I didn't notice any genuine points made.

Here we go again

 

[symyjym]

Here we go again

Steve Bruce to Newcastle?
Hughton or Pulis to Hull and WBA?

 

[ewe2]

The "Transfer Window"is causing this bloodbath frenzy of manager culling ! I don't wonder if we get 14 pages on it as the inhumane sport of "Toffs "

 

[Triggaaar]

But some are saying he is only showing passion so he gets the job and that he seems to show passion at any club he is at.

I don't think he's showing passion to get the job, but I'm sure he'd show passion whichever club he worked for, it's his way. Given his reaction to Brighton fans when he was at Yeovil, I wouldn't say Brighton is the only club he cares about, it's just the club he works for and cares about at the moment. I don't have a problem with that, but I don't regard him as only ever loyal to Brighton.

 

[Marshy]

It's just my opinion.. I don't rate Hughton he does not inspire me at all, I would be the same if we were linked to Mick Mcarthy and he's currently doing a great job at Ipswich.

 

[8ace]

Steve Bruce to Newcastle?
Hughton or Pulis to Hull and WBA?

Yep, although William Hill now make Sherwood odds-on to be WBA next manager.

Yep, fascinating this managergoround. With WBA it has been said on here that they run the DoF model with an iron fist, whereas Sherwood wants some control. I guess it is all about compromise at the end of the day especially in an emergency situation which could just be an end of season deal.

All good fun though.
