Alex Ferguson had the odd bad season in amongst his tremendous success. Be careful who you wish for. Moyes maybe?

Unfortunately, the defensive set up that got us to this division and kept us here last year generally involves conceding possession and keeping our shape, stopping wingers from getting in behind us and forcing teams to either cross from deep towards two very good centre halves, or take the ball into a crowded middle. If mistakes are not made, this can be very hard to break down, but not against Eden Hazard. Our shape just seems to give him a pocket to operate in and he does us every time. He is an incredible player, a joy to watch and I hope he leaves the country as soon as possible and we never have to play him again.

The problem with this argument and 'look at what CH has done' type posts is that they are retrospective. The guy is a legend, but so was Mullers and he passed his sell by date. It takes nothing away from CH's achievements to say that he may not be the one to take us forward. I am not saying he isn't but just let's open minds to idea that he might not be.

Alas we appear to have become, at best, a 45 minute team....tends to make it easy for the opposition

How come you have managed nearly 6000 posts on here and not been chucked off for being a 'some other London club supporting' ****?
Because I support Brighton, but hate Spuds?
I think it all got a bitt too vitriolic (possibly somewhere in the first couple of dozen pages on the Brexit thread)! Like many, I missed it a bit at first, but in retrospect I think it was the right decision. As I said, it's just the odd occasion when I would like to have it back - 'Hughton out' threads being a good example of when!
I wonder how many 'hooten out' people are also hard brexitters? 'We don't need a mangerial plan B, just sack him now. Hard CHexit'. For actual ****'s sake.

We are currently following a plan to improve.
We are round about where we should be in terms of that plan.
I have faith in the people who are running the plan.
I understand the plan and think it is a good one.
I don't see the need to change the plan.
I would suggest that if someone is going to suggest changing the plan then it is up to them to suggest a new one.

Used as a tool to 'steam' people, dog-whistle style, and in the comfort of not having to actually justify one's self. We don't need it. Perfectly easy to rebut a comment, and if others agree they can thumbs up the rebut.

Hughton IN. Can't see any one else better and if we did get some one experienced I'm 90% sure we'd go straight down BUT I would like Hughton to change his tactics, we have some good players all over the pitch but the system doesn't seem to be suiting them. Pröpper, Bissouma and AJ are great technical players but we hardly see it out of them, I also genuinely feel like Locadia is a decent footballer

'I genuinely think we will go down next year if not.'
Really
YES! we are cannon fodder and we will continue to be next year! Look at that smug wanker at Bournemouth, yes he’s spent silly money and they should never have been able to get away with it but he plays a WATCHABLE style of football. Hughton bless him, is out of control now and it’s not going to get any better with Ashworth pulling the strings. I just feel that the summer could be the time for Chris to walk, that’s all.
Precisely.
And its like a lot of clubs can look forward to an FA Cup final most years.
And that justifies taking a pop at our manager? Pathetic.

And luckily for us the days of our club being run by morons has long gone
Because we're not the people who hire the replacement. Because the person you suggest may end up being just as bad. What people are actually calling for is a change, a new approach will come from whoever you bring in instead, so who is not that important, they will be 'not Hughton' which by it's nature brings that change. At each level of the football table, there's a certain level of manager you have access to. We have survived in the premier league for a season, have a great set up, with a new stadium, and owner willing to back his manager. We are a team that at this point would be able to get the sort of manager who has aspirations of growing a premier league side and the ability to do so; we are a team that would expect applications or interest from a number of managers who wouldn't have looked at us in the championship, but now could just about keep us up like Hughton, but perhaps with a different approach. We're not a struggling league one team, playing in an athletics track any more. The managerial merrygoround woll always offer alternatives.
Also, if it doesn't matter that their suggestion isn't even considered by the club, if it doesn't matter that their suggestion isn't any good, why bother with the question at all? If they say 'Replace him with Danny McBride' how does that make their call for change more valid? It's a suggestion. It's a terrible one, but at least they've given a name, right?
Justify why they shouldn't stay - absolutely. Name a manager's replacement? Meaningless.
