Liam Liam Liam O Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Those who appear to have already made their mind re:Hughton are blatantly missing the bigger picture here.. Who do you think Ashley will replace him with? Massive compensation and contract for David Moyes? or Martin Jol? Or is it more likely we'll end up with some past-it geezer like Terry Venables or Glenn Hoddle.. to 'steady the ship' with their experience.. I'm not impressed with Hughton's tactics either but it's far too early to get on his back.. Agree with that. I remain unconvinced that Ashley would consider sacking Hughton anyway tbh. As we've seen previously he's happy to risk relegation as long as it means not having to fork out too much. Presumably he reckons we'd just walk the Championship again. Do you think he'd renew Hughton's contract which is up in the summer if we went down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new manager would have to accept there's basically fuck all for transfers as well, which makes it virtually impossible to get anyone of repute. As junkhead said, we'd probably be looking at George Graham and the likes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did go down, I think we should be looking to someone else even if he is still here at the end of his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hughton - "We deserved draw" We basically didn't at all Massively important point too apparently. Against a very good side too apparently. The only good thing to come of yesterday is the fact Wigan didn't get three points. His post match nonsense is really concerning. I'm still primarily in the give Hughton time camp. But what worries me other than the usual tactical oversights (which most managers make every w/e anyway) is his distinct lack of charisma and dour work hard in training approach. It can get you only so far, there is a lot to be said about managers who can get the players to play above themselves (and with some CH has done this - Carroll/Williamson), but I have doubts about his ability to lift the whole side and make them believe the impossible is possible, cause that's what it takes at this level to survive when you are short on quality ammo. Still time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Is Hughton's contract really up at the end of this Summer (2011)? I thought it was next Summer (2012), as he kept his old contract details, but had a change of job role? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Agree with that. I remain unconvinced that Ashley would consider sacking Hughton anyway tbh. As we've seen previously he's happy to risk relegation as long as it means not having to fork out too much. Presumably he reckons we'd just walk the Championship again. That doesn't make sense, going down cost him more than it would have done to keep us up and I think/hope he'll know that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I agree Mick. I honestly don't think he believed we'd go down last time. Hence Kinnear. He wouldn't take a risk like that again IMO.would cost him far too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Fair play to him for leavin out Nolan, not sure if he was injured or what. Hopefully he now knows that Guthrie is a CM or nothing, and that it's time to give Taylor a go at right back. I would have made the subs at half time yesterday personally, thought we were asking for trouble to send out the same team. They pulled it off though, so I suppose it worked.

Who replaces him wasnt the question, as Im sure we all know Ashley will fuck it up with his replacement, Hughton is probably as good as we can hope for, but that doesnt mean Ive got Faith in his ability atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MrBrown Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 - At the start of the season, the aim was to avoid relegation. - We are not in the bottom three. - We have shown that we are at least trying to play decent football. - The team have displayed good character. - Look at some of the other results from other teams this season; the other teams are not bad teams. There might not be a 'bad' team in the league this year. Man. Utd drew with West Brom, and Arsenal lost to them- with far better squads than us. Man. City drew with Blackburn. - We lost to a Blackpool side who are doing very well this year, and we were unlucky to lose. Stoke are an establish Premier League team who have beaten better than us consistently. We were desperately unfortunate in the Man. City game. - We are one weekend away from a decent position. - Hughton is at least trying to change things. There is no doubt in my mind that he will address the right-back issue now that it's possible to do so. - I don't remember the last manager who has been so astute in terms of identifying what the squad needs in the transfer window. I have more belief in Hughton than any of the alternatives. He's intelligent, humble, and exceptionally hard-working. Were we shit yesterday? Yes. But it's probably the first game this season we have been genuinely bad, and there's an extent to which it's down to too many individual poor performances on the day. Hughton picked the team everyone wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 It may be drivel but Ashley's track record of making important football decisions is pretty bad. It should be ridiculous but we all know who's got his finger on the trigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 And the beat goes on. Anyway, we needed investment and what we got was a net spend of -£8m, and Kevin f***ing Nolan. A similar window will see us finish bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
