The 'boot in' is pointing out he didn't get Norwich up? Man you're such a soft pedantic shite.
For the record: the best thing I can say about Chris Hughton is he's a top bloke, he did a fine job with us in the Championship, I was happy when he was confirmed permanently in October '09, I wasn't happy about his sacking and he'd obviously be preferable to the likes of Carver, Pardew and McClaren. The worst thing I can say is that he isn't a Premier League manager. He isn't. I hope this is the last time this crap gets brought up because it isn't really worth any discussion. It's fairly obvious what brackets Chris Hughton fit in, both in terms of our history and as a coach.
