The old Chris Hughton discussion thread

[Benwell Lad]

Wouldn't be surprised in the least if he's given a new contract this week now.

 

To be honest I would prefer if they stuck to the plan of negotiating at the end of the season. We shouldn't be making managerial decisions based on short periods of time or on press speculation.

 

If he's sustained his success then give him the contract he deserves.

 

Problem as I see it, is he's not on top dollar at all and if he wants to recruit a decent No 2 already in employment we could have a ludicrous situation where the assistant is on more than the boss.

If that is the case I'd re-negociate his now and give him what he's due.

Someone on another board 'Thought you might have enjoyed that one. Can you lay of hughton for a week now? '

One of my favorite moments yesterday was when everyone was singing his name. Great feeling, I bet he fucking loved it too. We love your Chrissy Lad!

 

I'm a right soft shite like. When the crowd were singing his name and he waved to the Gallowgate, I was filling up.

Glad I wasn't the only one   

[TRon]

IMO he's done enough to get a significant payrise.

 

I think the Tiote signing will more than cover any pay rise.

Loved his attention to detail yesterday. He knows Williamsons confidence in possesion at home is fragile, so he spent 20mns in his tracksuit out on the pitch working one to one with him ignoring all others, on heading and kicking the ball away, right up until they went back in 10mns before kick off

You could tell he was saying this is what your good at son, lets get in the zone, you can beat them all.

superb.

Quick change into the suit complete with poppy was a good touch afterwards.

[Heron]

Anyone else want to buy this fella a pint?

[Cajun]

Had a nightmare he left because they wouldn't give him a decent contract

[biggs]

And it's spelled right!

Shows how good Hughton is in terms of man-managing as well.

 

Wonder if he can become 'our Sir Alex' and be our manager for the next 20 years or so. (And bring some trophies...)

Didn't pick up on that, good post.

 

Great work by Hughton there.

[Dr Venkman]

imagine if ashley reckons he'll just keep cutting costs by taking on a new manager every two season that he can pay peanuts too. its not that hard to imagine actually.

Loved that, a great big fuck you to the London press.

Change the thread title back to just Hughton. thats what he deserves

[Dave]

Hughton hopes to appoint a new assistant to replace Colin Calderwood, who is now managing Hibernian, this week with Brian Kerr, the former Ireland manager, who is currently in charge of the Faroe Isles, understood to be in contention.

 

What, in my opinion, an awfully-constructed, for a professional journalist, sentence.

Christ, I've seen neesy rattle out better prose than that.

She probably used talk type, the commas represent the bits where she burst into tears.

Actually wait, I raise you Dave:

 

A programme that posits the notion of leonine alpha-male big beasts of the suburban conservatory sharing tobacco-smooth post-snifter badinage – not even behind a desk, but right out in front on the crotch-fanning plinth of the low-slung sofa – suddenly became noticeably stiff‑backed and taut, its banter infused with fresh levels of glazed menace.

That's actually alright, if you've ever attempted to read Faulkner.

[Guest Heneage]

Hughton has such class. I watched him yesterday in the midst of a fantastic victory once again asked; "Has the speculation made it difficult?" And with a wry smile he ignored the chance to rant like so many of his fellow professionals, instead choosing to once again praise a group of players he has united and brought from the wilderness of the Championship.

 

He may not always get it right tactically, but when it comes to the media he is a credit to the club.

That's not bad tbh. Dave wins by a country mile.

[Decky]

The man is bloody great and I really find it hard to believe he will be hated or anything if it goes tits up (which I dont think it will). He has done a lot in his short time as manager here to be remembered by us for a long time (winning the Championship in such style, beating Villa 6-0 and of course beating the mackems 5-1).

 

One of the best things about yesterdays result is seeing so many people who were unsure on him and even those who wanted rid of him, come out in this thread and call for his new contract to be taken care of.

 

Also, one of the main things Hughton has brought to our club is a great togetherness. The players look like they are playing for him, for each other and the fans are backing the manager and players 100%. All this needs now is for Ashley to give the man the contract he deserves.

I loved the way he went mental every time we scored and then seemed to have a moment of realisation that he'd lost his calm, and then returned to normal Hughton mode really quickly. Brilliant!
