I’ve been a home season ticket holder since the early 2000’s and go to away games here and there that the budget stretches too... unlike what seems a majority of our idiotic fans, I’ve grown a sense of perspective. We are going through a shit phase right now, but it’s utterly disgraceful to Hughton and everything he’s achieved for us, to talk of tapping up another manager, especially one who himself is known for negativity and manages a bigger club than us, is downright stupid, let alone disrespectful.

People think Benitez would come into this group of players we have available and do anything different to the current manager? We have a limited squad and as such pretty much any manager that comes in when you get your wish, will set us up in the same manner or see us get relegated trying to play the ‘score more than you’ Fulham style tactic. Delusional idiots.

When I asked Bloom he said the club have a list of identified potential managers if Hughton left. Which is the right and prudent thing to do. Why shouldn’t fans kick around views on the subject too? I hugely respect Hughton, what he has done at this club puts him in the legend box for sure and I hope it works out for him and us over the coming weeks. But I can still think of who I want if charge if he goes.

Just because you go to away matches, it doesn't make you any better at judging the qualities of a football manager. Fans are entitled to debate the makeup of the team they support with out condescending statements.

As for comparing Chris Hughton with Rafa Benitez, as much as I appreciate all that Chris did for us until now, I am bored to death with our negative tactics. Rafa would be a great replacement, with far more experience. Rafa was winning the Champions League when Chris was still putting out the cones for Mick McCarthy.

Have to say, I've been saying for a while MA isn't doing anywhere near as bad a job as people are led to believe. Only in football do people demand huge losses or the chairman is seen as being terrible. Looking at the plight of Bolton recently, and many clubs before, I don't get it. Surely the long-term health of the club is far more important

RB did a mercurial job at LFC under Gillette and Hicks, great at chelski and even better at Newcastle. Apart from a great manager the work he has done at Liverpool and Newcastle in their respective communities has been immense. He may have his moments, but I think we have been lucky to have him.
RB at Brighton? Not likely when you consider his CV, but stranger things have happened.

On the day he left Liverpool he went to the Hillsborough campaign organisers and gave them a cheque for £96,000. Impressive from RB.
