Cumbria Canary 0 Posted August 20, 2013 Why do you post stuff like this except to wind people up ? There is not a single reason why anyone would rate Pardew a better manager than Hughton unless of course you are an ITFC supporter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of discussion and questions about the merits of what our manger is trying to do in developing and advancing the club - and what stage that development is at. Time will tell how far Hughton can take us, but if you have the feeling simmering away inside you that "Hooton in''t up to it" I think you are going to be disappointed.

Bob W 0 Posted August 20, 2013 Think how entertaining life would be if we swapped both David McInally and Chris Hughton for the renowned Newcastle United comedy duo of Alan Partridge and Roy Kinnear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans Big Toe 309 Posted August 20, 2013 I''m for it. But only if we can swap clubs as a whole. So St James'' Park is moved down hear to replace FCR. A swap of all board members not just McNally, after all aren''t Kinnear and Ashley possible the most astute partnership in world football? We''d also need to swap kits, first team squads, managers and most importantly trophy rooms. Before you dismiss this idea as ludicrous, contemplate for just one moment, we would the be a "massive" club because we won the league back in 1832 (or something like that).

Matt Morriss 69 Posted August 20, 2013 Id like to echo the earlier comment of who the ****@& hell is Houghton?Really getting sick of it now, how the hell do people keep forgetting his bloody name? It baffles me how anyone can get any football names wrong, we hear them everyday. There was an idiot on canary call saturday kept getting Garrido''s name wrong, even after Butler had said it mid conversation " So how did you think Garrido played?" " Yeah i think Gardio played well "For christ sake people use your @&£&@& brain and lets get CH''s right for once, he''s been here a year for f@&£ sake.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 21, 2013 I''m not saying Houghton has done a bad job, just he might not be the right man for our club. Reckon we could still work out but if we''re honest, I reckon 99% of that same universe Lakey mentions would have Lambert back here like a whippet if they could. Better football and a winning mentality, not setting up for a point against Fulham and Stoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After he has built a successful side or before? Oh hang on, Hughton had a successful although difficult first season with some fantastic results along the way. So he was successful in his first season. Now he has brought in some great signings, last season and this, so the chances are that the football will improve - meaning more success. Also Hughton is known for fluid football throughout the team at his previous clubs so why should his aim be any different at Norwich. I wish those that think he isn''t "right" for the club would say what they really think, rather than keep up this trickle of thinly veiled unjustified anti-Hughton propoganda - hide behind humour if you like, BBB, but it doesn''t hide your agenda.

I am fed up to the back teeth of CH setting his teams up not to lose. When will he learn that the true football fans at FCR demand that their team is set up without any defensive nous what so ever and that they employ a kamikazi attacking spirit as I mentioned in a previous post. Lets start deploying at least 6 strikers on the pitch at any one time. Bassong, Turner, R Bennett and Javier should all be sold, preferably in part exchange deals with any U21 International strikers that have scored more than 1 goal at Senior level (after all our strikers are far too old). It is unacceptable for any Norwich manager to set up his teams expecting them not to lose. I miss Bryan Gunn. [:''(]P.S.
