[Albion] Nice article about Hughton in the Independent

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Go on, I’ve watched it a few times now, can’t work out which is the clueless bit.

Key singing: 'Percy Tau'.....

It might get a few more readers if it really was 'Independent' and not 'The Rabidly Pro-European'.

Yet further proof that they know what they're talking about.
The reverse doesn't seem to harm the Express, Telegraph, Mail & Sun

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Do they fire them too, or is that the chairman?

It was Llambias who sacked Hughton at Newcastle and not Ashley - one of a number of minor but annoying inaccuracies in that article.

Indeed. Surely "Independent" means looking at facts and commenting on them accordingly. The other publications you mention just make stuff up to fit their agenda and spoon feed it to their drooling audience. But then anyone with more than half a brain already knows this.

When the Indy launched in 1986, it said it would never be beholden to any political party or special interest group. Although after Lebedev bought it/bailed it out, there were a suspiciously large number of big features on causes dear to his heart and long interviews with people called Lebedev. But it was still a brilliant paper to work for. The sports desk Christmas lunches were legendary.

Do you overuse the word ‘probably’ the way he does?

That is one we’re looking at bringing in. Probably.

Indeed they do.

He is a magnificent man. I do find I try to copy him in my day to day life and at work managing people and dealing with clients.

Have you not noticed the look of utter bemusement on their faces while you're trying to coach them in team tactics and 4-4-2 systems instead of concentrating on your actual designated job? And what was their reaction when they discovered you'd spent the company's entire stationary budget for the next five years on some winger from Iran instead of someone whose CV indicated they would have been a far more suitable candidate for the office based role specified?

No but they were surprised when I absolutely lost my shit and ran up and down the high street shouting in everyones faces and punching the air when we got a sale the other day!
