Rich T The Biscuit 572 Posted August 30, 2015 He was Hughton when he was here and he''s still Hughton now he''s gone!And I don''t mean his ability, I mean his name.Any team beating the scum is good for me, even more so when it''s an ex player or manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,585 Posted August 30, 2015 What a load of bunkum. Hypocrisy my backside. Well I enjoyed the fact that Brighton won yesterday. Hooray, Hughton beat the scum.....oh I forgot, Hughton is public enemy number one so we would have preferred Ipswich to have won ......err.....I think not.

Europe_93 16 Posted August 30, 2015 I wish Hughton well, for most I think he is a long way from public enemy number one (I''d think of Muscat or Roeder maybe that is another discussion?) and pleased his team is top of the league, but am more than happy in our world.@Lake District Canary: If you had a choice , Hughton or Neil to manage our club, who would you prefer and why?

AJ 1,238 Posted August 30, 2015 He was unlucky with the signings he made for hours second season. Let''s not forget his first season with us was fairly good and included a ten game unbeaten run. Good luck to him and Brighton, would love to see them make the top flight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hughton was not a great manager for us, but I don''t blame him for that - personally, I think he was the right appointment at the time - and he did keep us up in a season where we could easily have succumbed to second season syndrome. The third season was dreadful for everybody and Hughton wasn''t strong enough to deal with all the issues. I don''t think AN would have let things get into the state they did that season - he is a stronger personality and he gets the best out of the players he has - so definitely, for me, AN is the main man, any day of the week,. People exagerate my appreciation for Hughton - it''s true I supported him and thought he would long term get things right - I was wrong about that - but as an ex-manager who had some success in his first season, who showed dignity while at our club and for who things didn''t really work out, I also wish him well and will follow is career with interest - as I would any ex-manager or player.

Spillay 180 Posted August 30, 2015 No offence Lakey, but I think most people are past caring about what Hughton does really. I have nothing against the guy generally and wish him well but its not important or relevant anymore. Thankfully Mr Neil has dragged us up by our bootlaces into I hope a more positive era for the club.. early signs sure are promising :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you bake a cake on the wrong temperature, the ingredients will be ruined and cannot be used again. The players Hughton had were not ruined because they were the same players they were before*, and could be salvaged, as Alex Neil has proved.*Except Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
