I have no doubt Ashley will give him an improved offer the one he have now is low. There is an offer on the table but it is low. CH wants to wait for a better one. Everyone complain when Ashley gave him contract at the first place. I have no reason to doubt he won't give him another one now.

 

I didn't think there was an offer on the table though, I thought the whole thing was on ice until January?

I thought there was an offer at the beginning of the season, but it was withdrawn because Hughton wasn't happy with it?

 

You might be right. I just though the intention was always to give him a short contract and renew/not in Jan.

 

I'm probably giving Ashley too much credit!

Fucking ridiculous how they're pushing this story. And I still don't believe this 'the club want to wait till January to be sure he's the right man'. They offered him a contract at the start of the season did they not?

 

They set a date a while back to review his contract. Just because they won't pander to the media like Shepherd would have done, and are going to stick with that date, that means they're leaving him hanging?

In my opinion Hughton clearly doesn't have a problem with this, and it doesn't look like the team does. Can't believe this bollocks non-story has got so much of an airing based on absolute shite drummed up by rags I wouldn't wipe my ass with.

 

/Rant over.

 

Basically the crux of the whole thing.

 

It's insane that anyone is giving this any time... thankfully we beat Sunderland so it should die down for a bit.

 

Make your mind up, did they offer him a new contract at the start of the season or was it always going to be reviewed in January?

 

 

According to what Hughton has allegedly been telling people, he was offered a new contract, he wasn't happy with the terms, the offer was withdrawn.

 

The media subsequently "make up" stories about Hughton being replaced and other managers being contacted. Purely coincidental I'm sure, and simply because they hate us and want to destabilise the club.

How about offered the contract, seeing as it wasn't agreed they decided to leave it until January? You can take a break from negotiations you know. This is all speculation, no one can be sure what's happened. But in my opinion, after that contract negotiation broke down I think they decided to leave it until January.

UV, if they did offer Hughton a contract then I'm happy to admit I missed that. I thought it was always the intention to renegotiate in January.

 

Either way, he does deserve a pay rise if he continues what he's been doing this season, and I really hope Ashley sees that and offers him a decent deal.

The Daily Mirror's take on the Hughton situation:

Ridiculink

 

 

For instance, gone are cosy deals with agents

 

Hmm.

 

Indeed. Page 3: http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/7e/54/0,,10794~152702,00.pdf

 

Far and away the highest agent fee per transfer in the Championship last year, nearly 10% of the entire football league amount.

 

 

 

As far as that agents fees table is concerned it is hardly surprising when you consider the players we bought were generally more expensive than those the other clubs were buying. Also looking  at that table it appears to include both registrations and transfers (we are shown as having 7 transactions, did we buy 7 players following our relegation?) so the agents fees on deals like the sale of Duff, Beye and Bassong may well be included.

You can't be serious.

 

Just in case you are:

Cheers.  :thup:

 

And I was serious, I didn't know that. I've never seen anyone wearing a poppy in my country so I was asking myself this.

 

 

 

 

 

In the UK, if you're any kind of public figure, you simply have to wear one around this time of year. If you don't, people may slag you off for being unpatriotic, dissing the people who died for their country, being a heartless communist twat etc. If the Sun or Daily Mail is looking for a reason to lay into you, for example, this will be their opportunity.

 

Naturally you do not wear them in Germany.

 

Last weekend, I went to look at the British World War I cemetery outside Berlin. (Surprisingly, there is one.) There were no poppies in view, but many red roses.

You forgot to add that if public figures wear them too early they get slagged off too!
