hehehe - your original post and observations I thought rang true(ish) at the time. I''m not going to judge just yet and am happy to give him some games. 

However, my nagging suspicion is that last seasons squad were battling to make names for themselves, pay rises etc and with PL making sure they all stuck together. I really hope that this season we don''t have players who are happy to be relegated with us therefore earning signing on fees etc etc. Made even more salient that those few seasons ago we capitulated at Fulham with many a player seemingly delighted - Damien Francis etc.

[/quote]It''s not really about point scoring.  I''m just saying that:

• In June you were anti-Hughton
• In July you were anti-Hughton
• In early August you had a hissy fit and left for a couple of weeks
• In late August you came back and were pro-Hughton
• In early to mid-September you were pro-Hughton
• Now at the end of September you are anti-Hughton again

If you hold every position on Hughton then at some point you''ll be right, and you''ll also be wrong.And in terms of point scoring, don''t you think bumping this thread so you look like you''ve always been anti-Hughton is doing exactly that?

[quote user="Lincs CR"]I stopped reading when Holloway was mentioned... hire a bloke who got relegated with Blackpool then failed to bring them back up, rather than our current manager who worked wonders with Newcastle and was rather unfairly sacked IMO (many many Toon fans would agree with that too).[/quote]

You''re being very unfair on Holloway. He made great strides with Blackpool with little money and built his own squad, getting promotion and almost staying in the Prem and probably would have done but for the tapping up of Charlie Adam midway through that season. Hughton inherited a squad of very good players such as Barton, Carroll, N''Zogbia, Nolan, Ameobi etc which were really too good to be relegated but by poor management were.

I would have preferred Holloway but am willing to accept Hughton, but I do think some overdo what he has achieved. After all, Holloway got to the play-off final again this season (and they were unlucky to lose) whereas Hughton didn''t. In my view any manager should have been able to get Newcastle promoted with the squad that he had. I hope he succeeds here but it''s not going to be easy at all.

[/quote]

Glad that somebody could see what I was saying Paul. I would expect that the majority of posters on here would have had enough about them to have got Newcastle promoted when Hughton did.  I do not think that he is an awful manager, but I agree that this coming season in charge of NCFC will be by far his biggest challenge as a manager yet.

Holloway v Hughton? It is far more difficult to win promotion with Blackpool than it is with Birmigham, whatever financial troubles BCFC may or may not have. Holloway never had a good record prior to his time with Blackpool, but he has done an excellent job there for them and there are few who will be likely to match what he has done for the Lancashire club. How many managers will better what Hughton has done at both Birmingham and Newcastle I wonder?

Bump!!  Just to prove that some had doubts

[quote user="Yellow Messiah"]

Don''t bother posting rubbish, anybody who wants Ian Holloway as their manager is insane! He has no tactical awareness at all, I''m glad to appoint managers on talent, not how good they are with the media.

Pheeeew.. Thank heaven for Hughton !!!

[Stig 0]

I''m... not exactly anti-hughton... but I''m not brimming with confidence. When we should take the game by the scruff of the neck we don''t.

I don''t know, a few more games.

Were we booed off today?

[Highland Canary 76]

Really tricky. Change now for Harry? Would he come? Could we afford him? Or is our quality so lacking it''s not worth the change? Should we prepare for the Championship by realising our assets in January?

[djc 0]

Canary Stig. Were we booed off today?

There was no booing at the end today. Everyone had already left, and the floodlights had been turned off.

Hughton was obviously a genius to get a team so lacking in Prem talent promoted from the Champs.......

[Branston Pickle 3,638]

*yawn* no doubt the ''I back Hughton'' thread will be rolled out next week when we beat Chelsea (ok, the second bit of this is unlikely, but not the first!). Flip flop.
