Cronky Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 The strategy of the club seems to be to have as little as possible to do with the press, and issue the occasional statement when it's absolutely necessary. Ashley and Llambias probably feel they've had a raw deal from the media over the last two years and they don't want to get involved with them. I don't blame them, but it's not a strategy that works very well. If the press don't get stories, they make things up. And if they're resentful at the way a club is cold-shouldering them, then they'll try to get at that club. It's a bummer, but if possible it's best to at least try to get on with the media. Trouble is, that's not an area where either Ashley or Llambias have much ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Barmy that their are even rumours of sacking Hughton when we are 9th in the league. Not sure how the fixtures run this weekend but we could plummet very easily with things going against us. 9th at this stage isnt really the point, 2 above the bottom 3 is more telling. That said i agree on the fact its barmy but it seems the media want to make a run of poor home form(as LLLO says we brought it on ourselves really) into a bit of a witchhunt. Good result on Sunday and maybe 6 points + out of the next four games and that pressure will ease hopefully. Cant see any benefit of ditching him in the near future, no self respecting manager will come in and any squad morale we have could be ruined by it. We have a little run of games where we can get a few points so i wouldnt give up on him yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 `at us sitting in 9th` liverpool are on 9 pts and they are in the last 3 atmo. The table is pretty tight, 2 defeats and we aint sitting pretty anymore.... You should be looking at the form table not the league table. Aye, but 2 wins and we're in the top 5... it's pointless to speculate like that so early in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 If this is really being looked at as a possibility by Chas & Dave in the boardroom then could it be (in their screwed up way of thinking) that they're looking at poor home results = poor home attendances = less incoming money?

NG32 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 They would only "bin" him if and when we are in serious danger of going down with 10 games to go. Otherwise just leave the feck alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, in that it is so early in the season that, in essence, the league table is the form table Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Someone is muck raking for sure, but with Ashley at the helm, you are never sure of what he will do next. Lose to the mackems on Sunday and the pressure will be cranked up further. And perhaps so it should be, given that it would be 5 home games without a win. That said, Hughton has done a good job and I'm not for having him removed at this stage. He got us back up and has us competing on a shoe-string budget. In a way I'm surprised other clubs have not come in for him because he has shown he has some nous as a manager. I cannot wait for the day Mike Ashley sells this club- he is a parasite.

Ketsbaia Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 the table does lie a little bit. yeah we're 9th, but we've played half of the teams in the league yet still not arsenal, chelsea, liverpool or spurs. so we've definitely had easy-ish fixtures so far and been far from convincing. not using that as an argument to sack hughton though because, as we've already said, that shouldn't even be discussed yet. its lunacy.

Idont think anyoone has put any pressure on, a few on here have chucked their toys out the pram after a couple of home defeats but that was just an immediate reaction to a bad result/bad game for the team. No one I speak to wants him jacked. Weird. Its always the fans that are to blame for some weird reason. More lazyness from the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
