[Albion] Hughton on Manager of the Season shortlist
- Thread starter backson
- Start date
As much as I love Hughton I'd have to say Dyche has been the outstanding manager of the season in terms of getting a team to punch above their weight. Possibly Guardiola purely in terms of the astonishing football Citeh have played. We still have a wonderful manager though.

As much as CH has done an outstanding job, manager of the season has to be Dyche.

Hodgson is and has always been a good and likeable manager. But there's no way he should be on that list. The media seem to be making a big deal out of Palace's start to the season, and deducing that recovering from that is some sort of miracle of Redknapp proportions.
In reality, despite the losing streak, they were never more than a couple of points off the pace. Bournemouth's start was almost as bad but nobody seems to be putting forward Eddie Howe for awards (rightly so). Palace have a decent squad, with various expensively acquired signings, that is nowhere near as bad as some other teams down near the bottom. Hodgson has merely got them playing, in some games, not all, roughly somewhere near to the standard that they should be expected to. That's not award-worthy: it's the bare minimum that would have been expected. I'm pretty sure they weren't aiming to be *just* surviving this season. And I doubt their players are going to be hugging and high fiving each other when their safety is confirmed mathematically, as frankly they should have done a lot better. Essentially, this season has been a disappointment for them.

You can only vote via Facebook, So that's one vote CH unfortunately won't be getting due to this stupid PL approach

It would be highly amusing if that happened. For reasons I've yet to understand, I really dislike Hughes, the sour faced old whiner.
If I can be really greedy, I'd also like Reading and Birmingham to go down from the Championship tomorrow. Cardiff seem likely to go up as a result, which is fine by me (surely they'll be instant relegation favourites next season), then I'd like Fulham to win the play offs please.

Same. I take great pride not being on facebook too. They shouldn’t do it like that.
They would have come good under Frank de Boer if they'd given him half a chance.

I can't stand him either but I don't really know why [emoji848]
No way it'll be CH. As great as he's been, there have been more impressive achievements by others.

Roy = easy, I could get nominated for running Palace and keeping them up with very limited knowledge. Sit back. Is Zaha fit? Yes. OK pick 10 other players. Is he injured. Yes. Oh well he'll be fit again soon
Gotta be Dyche hasnt it, would be great if Chris did

It'll be fantastic if CH, came away with the honour.
But I'm more surprised that on the Albion link, it says Brighton Digital Membership, to get Seagulls TV.
From listening to last night's commentary, Seagulls TV was hardly digital, more like two cans and a piece of string, to all the constant interruptions I was getting!!

Why not Hughton? Didn't he win Championship manager of the year in 2015/16 for finishing 3rd behind title-winner Dyche

To be fair Dyche has worked miracles though and (through clenched teeth) really does deserve it.
How do you think you'll do next season with the 'distraction' of Europe?

No, it's on the Albion website - no need for social media.
