Really hate how he seems to fancy expensive/old players like we did before. Beckham, Keane, Bentley...

 

Beckham - wouldn't have him at all. Sick wages, old.

Keane - ok for loan, but nothing else. On his way down.

Bentley - injury-prone and way too expensive in comparison to quality.

I'm not sure we would have got the results we did against Liverpool and Wigan if CH had still been in charge. Of course we'll never know for sure ?

It just seemed that his team were no longer up for it and his final game against WBA - who were poor themselves - they just handed the points over.

Hughton did a wonderful job for this football club and will never be forgotten but maybe getting rid was a very brave and timely decision despite being universally unpopular.

I would be tempted to put the slight drop-off in form down to the moral-lowering effect of Hughton's impending sacking, rather than the fact the players weren't playing for him anymore.

That might be tempting, but how does that fit in with the apparent shock from the players when he was disposed of?

Our last two away games under Hughton were awful, I liked the man but there was a sense that something was wrong in those games. We had absolutely zero fight about us.

TBH it doesn't really, although we never know how much faith to put in public statements.

 

Maybe Hughton knew he was about to be axed and his own day-to-day motivation slipped a bit. Couldn't blame him if that was the case.

He said that it came as a shock to him.

From the outside looking in, I'd say he's done a steady if not spectacular job so far. It'll take a lot more to convince me he's cut out for being a relative success in this league however it doesn't appear he's made many mistakes, so credit where credit's due. You've had some tough games under his stewardship but, perhaps a lack of a go at Spurs aside, you've done pretty well. You were the better team against City, as well.

 

He's talked a good game as well from what I've read which, although not the most important part of football, is encouraging to see.
