PurpleCanary 5,558 Posted September 22, 2013 [quote user="paul moy"]Purple, please give a link to the post, because that is a lie. I said as soon as Hughton was appointed that he was the wrong man, many many times. I wanted Holloway. Stop trolling. [/quote] No lie. No trolling. As Yankee has pointed out you have entirely missed the point I was making. Which was that before Lambert left, when it was only a theoretical question, and when he did leave, you and several other posters said you had absolute faith that McNally would choose the right replacement. That he could not possibly get it wrong. It was all verging on the religious.Frankly I have no idea if you immediately condemned the choice of Hughton. If so, then you should have been honest enough to add that you had got it wrong about McNally, that he obviously was human after all and capable of error. But I have never noticed such a post from anyone. As I said earlier what was happily touted in good days as a McNally solo decision is now in sadder times a mistake by the board collectively. Funny, that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houston Canary 0 Posted September 22, 2013 Ill tell you his plan. His being the pompous Mortay. He will start a thread where he makes some legit points but then ruins it by saying how much more advanced he is for waiting a day before commenting while we inferior masses were too wound up to think clearly. He''ll have to tread a thin line though. Hughton has lost control of the players but Dr. Mortay has backed him consistently including a one-word "no" post yesterday on sacking the manager. I''m sure his cranial capacity is being stressed as he tries to figure a way around this while maintaining his superior attitude and nasty disposition to his non-believers.

Cerberus 0 Posted September 22, 2013 Can anyone explain how reliable Chippy has been in the past. are we talking 100% everytime or more like 50/50.Also, his comment about tomorrow was made yeaterday wasnt it. Well time is running out and Sunday is always a strange day to announce any news as lawyers in particular wont be working.Whether it happens or not in the short term, I think this is now building up momemtum and unless we pick up points at some difficult fixtures (Watford is a side issue), this talk is not going to go away.I wonder if Ruddy''s recent quotes were because he was speaking on behalf of the players as his position is relatively untouchable.

T 190 Posted September 22, 2013 Thank you yankee and le Juge for the corrections. I was educated in Norfolk but now English is my second language so it just goes to prove my point, I don''t take this message board seriously so don''t bother spelling and typos but the arguments are based on some truth.The study reported on the bbc compared subsequent team''s position of clubs who did and did not change manager and found changing manager had no impact. Furthermore, ironically CH is criticised all the time on what would hypothetically happened. Football is a lower class sport so attracts a less intelligent group of people than say cricket or rugby. Norfolf is a relatively poor country so the education standards tend to be lower and also generally the education standards are lower in the UK than other countries. In addition, as a relatively rural area it is just a fact that the genetic diversity in Norfolk is lower than other areas. Norfolk is parochial. it is the interaction with others which stimulates intellectual development. The correlation between finances and football has been reported in a number of studies and is easy to prove. The fact that people continually misundertand this point just proves my point. It is a long-term average and it is a probability distribution curve so all results are probable in the short-term but over a longer period then clubs perform to their financial average position regardless of manager. There are some similar sized clubs to NCFC but the difference is many other premier clubs are subsidized by benefactors which puts NCFC at a financial disadvantage CH is a professionally qualified football coach with lots of experience. His critics have none as I''ve yet to see anyone on here claim they are professionally qualified. I have some professional sports coaching qualifications and only then did I have enough knowledge to know how little I knew before. CH may not be the best manager in the world but it is ridiculous to suggest anyone on this message board knows more than he does. they can not even agree amongst themselves. I have worked on the acquistion of a premier league football club with an ex-professional footballer who then went ton o reach the highest level in his finance profession and admininstered football at the highlest level and quite frankly I would rather takes his views on the reality of football than any of the unqualified, uneducated short-term nonsense on here.

Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . . 0 Posted September 22, 2013 So by your reasoning T, we were wrong to call for roeder''s head, or grant''s, or any other manager ever. Basically as fans we have no right to question a manager unless we have managed at a similar level. I get it now. I think. Although i could be wrong, i did grow up in norfolk after all.
