They probably think some positivity will help against the inevitable drop in morale.
Of course Freddie Shepherd's comments about Hughton being 'too nice' are proven false: FS sacked a nice man (SBR) and replaced him with an utter cunt, who then destroyed the team. Hell, even Roeder did better than some of the cunts we've had in charge, despite having to play a team of mainly youngsters and being well out of his depth. And out of all the managers the club has had since SBR, Hughton has evidently been the most successful, and the nicest. Either he's just spouting bullshit for the sake of it, or he's too old to learn from his own mistakes.
