The big reason cited behind the scenes is that they want a boss who can attract the Sky cameras to St James’ more often, at almost £500,00 per televised match.

 

WHAT?!

 

I can't think of a season in the last 5 years where we've been on the Telly as often as this.  :idiot2:

iirc we've been on tv for more than half our games

 

I've been able to see every match so far this season here in the States which is impressive.

Was he supposed to be the answer long-term? I didn't think he was, I must say. The impression I got was his key objectives were to firstly to stabilise the club and get everyone pulling in the right direction, which he did. Secondly, gain promotion from the CCC, which he did at a canter. And thirdly, avoid relegation and establish you in the PL once more, which he seemed to be doing.

 

The situation can be 'saved' if a solid appointment (Jol) is made but that doesn't seem likely. Hence, it is an appalling decision.

That mirror article sounds too stupid to not be true, just what the fuck is going on in our club.

 

Hope the fans sing for CH during the scouse game just to make it clear it's not our decision.

looks like you had the same reaction as me.  If those 2 clowns think we need a big name manager so we get on the tv more then they are even bigger idiots than i first thought. 

 

I don't think the likes of sky and espn even think about who the manager is when picking games,  they'll select us for tv mainly because we have a big fanbase and are good for ratings.  They know if we are picked people will watch.

You managed to see the Everton game? I went to just about every fucking bar in the south of Florida to find it. Couldn't.

 

It was on a station Fox Soccer Plus IIRC which some bars don't have in their sports package. Also Fox Soccer streams every match live if you have an account with them ($15/mo).

 

Also, South Florida is a black hole for football which is really odd considering the demographics.

I guess this means Ashley is going to spring Charles Bronson out of jail to be our manager.

From ever-so slightly positive angle, Pardew doesn't fit the bill of the 'ideal manager' being described there.

The mind boggles. Maybe we can try and get Ashley detained under the mental health act.

Don't tell me you're taking Ronaldo's take on this seriously?

 

That he wasn't the answer long term? Most will agree. Maybe not today, but eventually.

 

That our results on the pitch in his one and a half season in charge somehow merited him being sacked by these classless clueless bastards in charge of our club..

We will never know if he was going to be the long term answer. What we do know is like you say he has achieved everything set out to him and was on course to achieve this season's target too. Anyone with any sense can see he was doing an incredibly good job with the resources he had and the monkeys he was forced to pander to at the 'top'. I don't know about that truth of that mirror article but if it is true then these guys are more inept and ridiculous than my brain can comprehend.

Its Ronaldo, he's basically our version of Talksport.

See, where did I say the sacking was merited? I've said countless times that it was premature, but understandable to a degree.

The more I think about this the worse I feel.  It's probably sinking in more and more now how much Hughton did for the club and how much admiration he built up in his short time in charge.  Hughton was perfect in the situation we are (were) in, he is dignified, cool headed, smart and stable, Ashley has fucked up again and blown all of this apart.

 

Everyone time were have one of these meltdowns more and more comes to light about the Ashley regime and it gets more and more worrying.  I thought with Hughton in charge everything had settled down...apparently not...it looks like Hughton was shafted.

 

Seems like there's so much other stuff to say but it's hard to put everything in words in a logical, reasoned argument - I'll leave the likes of Caulkin to do that.  Regardless though, this sacking has been pathetic, shameful and just depressing.

It really is. And the stuff about Ashley's anger at Hughton milking it after the 5-1 v The Mackems was in Golfmag's original post about a month ago.

"He walks away with a modest pay-off of less than £200,000 – compared to the £4.5million it cost to get rid of Sam Allardyce. "  FFS! Cheating bastards! :rant:

You did say you would be generous and give him a month tbf.

 

Out of interest, after another month of poor results, which long-term and tactically adept manager would you be looking to bring in?
