The old Chris Hughton discussion thread

[Cronky]

Hughton has had very little chance to build his own side. In his first transfer window, it was about shipping players out, and in the second, his scope was limited but he definitely improved the side. Generally speaking, he's had to make do and mend with the leftovers from other managers' work.

 

There's a lack of pace about the side which I'm sure he'll try and address. Once he's had the chance to create his own team, then we can assess him.

 

But as for how he's coped with the task that fell in his lap, he can't be faulted.

Stability is a load of s*** if you have the wrong manager at the club.  Stability worked with Bobby because he was a very good manager, it wouldn’t have done us any good if we’d kept Souness and or Roeder any longer than we did.

 

not to sound rude but, ahhhhh man f*** off

 

How many games have you seen this season?

listen man, all on the telly . not all of us have the means to fly in every week

[Incognito]

We could always try and get Houghton.

[Guest malandro]

I’m not convinced by Hughton but a new manager would bring new uncertainty. Shitting on the man who has led the team to promotion would be asking for trouble. We shat on Arthur Cox and it cost us dear. Be careful what you wish for.

I don't want him to go, he deserves a chance to prove what he can do.  If it doesn't work out then we will have to let him go for the good of the club.  At this time I think he has a 50-50 chance of doing well.

[Guest malandro]

He’s unproven but deserves his chance to spend £25m quid

It’s started. I wonder if that’s £25m net or gross.

I can't see how shitting on Hughton would work tbh. Would it not fly in the face of the teamspirit that we now have?

It probably would fly in the face of our current team spirit but that team spirit will probably be long gone by the time Hughton leaves.

Now its my turn too say.

 

 

What?

Taking Nolan out of the team would probably do as much damage in that respect, still has to be done.

yeah, cos 15 goals from a midfielder in a season is shite!

I guess that proves you're right, well done.

He's not, he's Ronaldo, at least he is on here.

[oldtype]

Surely at least we can all agree that sacking him out of the blue this summer would be absurd and that at least giving him a chance would be the best course of action for the club?

 

We're all entitled to our own opinions about how likely he is to succeed, none of which can be proved 100% at this point, but I think it's pretty clear that ditching him for a 'proper' manager at this point is a recepie for disaster

If Nolan plays regularly next season we will get relegated. Simple as that.

[HongKongMag]

It is really pissing me off that people are still slagging Hughton off. Look at the Boro man! They have a "proper" manager and aren't even in the playoffs, and don't give me any bollocks about Strachan not having the full season, it's neigh as dammit! Hughton has taken Newcastle team which could have imploded and ended up like Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday or Nottingham Forest and made them into a team which have bonded and played for each other (ignoring the Taylor Carroll incident).

 

 

He's earned his chance as far as I'm concerned.

 

As for this Roy Hodson nonsense, Fulham have spent a season in Europe defeating the likes of Juve, we've been slumming it in the championship. He would not come to us even if we asked very very very nicely; they're frankly a club in a much better place than us at the moment.

 

Lets consolidate, move on, and see where Hughton takes us. I don't mind finishing in the bottom half for a season or two provided we're building the foundations -- lets be honest here, even Bobby took some time to put his stamp on the team.

[merlin]

What you wouldn't want Hodgson as manager? I'm being serious there!!

 

Why would Hodgson want to leave his current job?

 

Have you been to Fulham, great little club, fantastic stadium but you are never going to achieve much. Dangle the prospect of managing in front of 52,000 fans and saying he has full control over the football side would tempt him. Any manager with ambition would know that if he had full control of the football side of things at the club  and did well that the possibilites are endless. If not him there would be others, Im sure of that!

 

As things stand, Fulham are a bigger club than us. He wouldn't leave for anyone, let alone Newcastle.

 

Wrong - as things stand, Fulham are CURRENTLY a more successful club ; they haven't won as many trophies, haven't got anything LIKE the stadium of fanbase, haven't been in European football as often...this is a worse statement than if someone had tried to claim that NUFC were a bigger club than Liverpool back in 1993 simply because we had a better team spirit at the time.

 

Fulham will NEVER be a bigger club than Newcastle United - just as we will never be a bigger club than Man U.

 

The issue about Hodgson is really nothing to do with the relative size of the clubs - he is not a young man and is unlikely to want to have the task of taking over a club like NUFC, although I very much doubt he will be given the chance.

Sums up my thoughts far more succinctly than I managed. Agree 100%
