Once Upon a Hughton

Recommended Posts

"I''m hungry" thinks Chris, and he decides what he really wants, no needs, is a steak. He''s been craving a steak all summer. He''s talked about steak. He''s tried getting by without steak. He see''s that everybody else has got steak. So finally, he makes his move to get a steak. He goes to the finest restaurants and realises that all the steaks there are too expensive. "That''s fine" thinks Chris, "I reckon I''m a good enough chef to cook a fine steak myself" and he goes to the supermarket. But all the steaks are gone. Everybody else has moved quicker than Chris. They could all see that to be strong you needed at least one or two steaks and they made sure they got theirs. The Most Impatient Man in The World had left it late, but he had managed to push hard enough to get his steak. Chris hadn''t.

Chris was desperate. It was nearly bedtime and he was starving. Fortunately, as fate would have it, he happened to be at a petrol station. It was in fact a place he used to work, and so, because they knew him, and because he was obviously starving, they let him have a ginsters pasty. Chris really hoped this would tide him over because he knew the bellyachers could well be back to haunt him.

The End?

Hughton thinks I''ll buy a steak from the supermarket but will also try venison from the local shop he knows well and was recommended.  The venison is very young and not to everyone''s taste, but might be exceptional - he really won''t know until he tries it. 

Unfortunately, having got his venison from the local specialist shop, he goes to the supermarket.  All the steak is indeed either gone or overpriced.  As its hot and BBQ weather loads of others have just bought whatever is on the shelves at remarkably high prices for the cuts of meat they are.  He decides he''s not paying those prices, or the cuts left really are scrag ends.  Someone has even been in the supermarket and just bought one of everything - and their freezer was full in the first place.  Still he decides to go home and try the venison.  He''s fairly content though and gets out his prime bit of steak he managed to secure over the summer.  Its a bit of steak he knows well and was tasty last year.  May be he''ll go back to the supermarket in a few months and see what''s on offer.

But the point is he didn''t really want venison. If he did he could have got venison at any point over the past few weeks.. I don''t have an issue with venison or even a ginsters pasty if that''s what was targeted. They may turn out to be exactly what Chris needs. The fact is that at the last second he was scrabbling around begging for scraps off friends that were in a convenient proximity rather than using the biggest shopping budget ever given to a chef to secure the choice cut he could have.

Or else he really did fancy venison but not as his first choice. So he waited and when the steak got snatched by someone else was content with the venison.

It is called plan B.

I believe the slice of spam from Brighton was lined up lest the venison was no longer for sale

I wouldn''t mind betting that this loan has been in the making for quite a few weeks, we have helped to develop other promising young players and Kane is the next one. I suspect Hughton wanted two strikers before the widow shut and the point you raised may have some logic had we signed CMS.

Could someone provide a direct quote as to when Hughton said he didn''t want a young striker on loan? As far as I know, he''s never been too bothers about a new striker.
