The old Chris Hughton discussion thread


Recommended Posts

I can't see any point in waiting until January for a contract, we should get it sorted and move on.

 

Out of interest, are there any other PL managers who's contracts expire at the end of the season, who's clubs will not be starting renewal negotiations until January ?

If so are there likely to be hysterical media campaigns about them or is this an exclusively Newcastle United thing ?

This exact combo 4tw :coolsmiley:

 

He's got his poppy through his buttonhole on his jacket so he may as well loose the pin.  Don't want any unecessary bobbling.

Hughton is going to be manager next season regardless of what we think, no club in the world would sack someone who has just won promotion. I can't see Hughton being successful with the brand of football he is playing at the moment if we do go up though. The problem will be identifying a manager who is significantly better. None of the names which were mentioned before he got the job inspired me much.

 

I doubt Hughton thinks he'll be in charge next season if we go up. If he is then prepare fully for a relegation of mackem proportions. We'll sink like s***.

It's a sensible clause, to be honest. It avoids having to pay compensation if you let the manager go and the fans cannot complain that he wasn't given a fair crack of the whip.

 

The reason why it's rare is that Hughton doesn't have the same bargaining power as  some more experienced and overrated managers, who would point blank refuse to sign a long-term contract that denied the right to compensation.

So where is Crumpy? I miss his insightful, unbiased views.

You can draw up a list of the ways in which MA could screw everything up from here. The Hughton issue and how it is handled is definitely on that list. It needs sorting so we can cross it off and start worrying about the next potential screw up, which has to be the January transfer window.

Crumpy makes total shit one-line cunt posts when something hasn't gone well, he does not engage in debate or comment when positive things happen. Provides absolutely nothing to the forum.

maybe Hughton is happy to wait....

why rushinto a contract now, when he could wait and negotiate a much better deal on the grounds of us being in the top 4 come christmas! :)

 

Mike Ashley will probably think "Well I appointed a coach as manager and we're 4th. If I get rid of Chris and do it again we might win the league. Sorry Chris no new contract!"

Just been flicking through the thread. Amazing how opinions have changed in regards to Hughton. Does he now have the backing of the majority? I'd like to say yes, but I know there's a lot of muppets about.

 

I think he's class. :smug:

I don't doubt that Stevie Stone would indeed win us the league. :clap2:

Look at the players who took us down, who we had our doubts about and look at them now.. I like to think that is down to Hughton.. no one really had faith in Simpson being any better than Parch in this league.. back three games and we have won them all.. has Hughton had an effect on him ?

My opinion of him is like a rollercoaster. He has a few amazing weeks and everything seems to be going right, then he makes one stupid mistake and it's like wtf?

 

Well, he's still learning, but he's getting better and better tactically as well as bringing on individual players. I'd be absolutely sick if we don't get behind him. What would that say about us as a club?

We are behind him and I think it'll stay.

 

I'm just not at the same level as others, that he's our saviour and we'll become a successful club with him - it's too early to tell. Doesn't mean I won't give him a chance like.

I reckon the majority of people would still retain their original opinion if Hughton had persisted with 4-5-1.

It was clear to most of us that it wasn't working and that Nolan wasn't suited to the position just behind Carroll. Since the change in tactics we've looked like a totally different team, had some fantastic results and shot up the league as a result.

Credit where it's due.

Always backed and defended him; seemed a straight, determind bloke, who talked a great deal of sense from the start. It's pretty mad that people who apparently had no time for him, and saw him as nothing more than a puppet that should be got shot of asap, are now loving the bloke.

 

Good to see though. :thup:

This.  He took on a poisoned chalice and has turned its content into wine.  Tesco wine, but wine nonetheless.
