Green and Yellow 0 Posted December 5, 2013 When will the board put Hughton out of his misery. He is done a spent force, if he ever was one. The situation now is like watching your dog suffer but don''t want to take it to the vet to put it out its misery. Houghton''s performance as been diabolical. Why the fuss over beating West Sham and Palace both are so bad it is laughable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hucks6 169 Posted December 5, 2013 West ham and palace games just painted over the cracks if we beat Swansea at home it will be the same.

The team and manager are fighting to improve - you could see that against Palace. A good performance on Saturday needed to redress the balance from yesterday''s match, but its going to be tough.

Dubai Mark 0 Posted December 6, 2013 When oh when.....will these posts stop that are only designed to be negative and have a pop at Chris Hughton whilst also making no attempt to understand the bigger picture........its all be said already.....now you all have to wait and see, and in the meantime understand others do have different opinions to you and respect them for it, get positive and get behind the team regardless of how you feel........

crabbycanary 2 Posted December 6, 2013 Better still, why don''t you all go and bang on the Board''s door, as opposed to posting on here, where it will have zero effect on the Club you supposedly support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion he won''t sack Hughton until he''s sure he''s got someone better lined up. While I agree we''re stagnating under Hughton, the last thing we want is to sack him, get turned down by a bunch of high-profile candidates and wind up with our fourth or fifth choice – could be a case of ''out of the frying pan into the fire''. Another surrender at the Hawthorns tomorrow, though, and his hand might be forced... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbleweed 106 Posted December 6, 2013 I wasn''t at the AGM but reports suggested that both he and Bowkett said they believed that we will be in the top half come the end of the season and that talk of managerial change was "piffle".So there are 3 scenarios:(i) they genuinely believe there is no cause for concern in which case we are in deep doodoo(ii) they do see the problems but pig-headedness (as someone said) or patience leads them to believe CH is still the right man(iii) they see the problems, have a Plan B and the Piffle talk was just trying to calm stormy waters in a public forum.While the fans on here do not have any particular insight into the situation behind the scenes, likewise we are not tainted by any emotional attachment to a guy who seems to be failing. I sincerely hope its not some Doncaster type blinkeredness while they fiddle as someone sets the bonfires under Rome.Trot out all the stats you like but on the pitch we are a pretty crap team right now.

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted December 6, 2013 Well I was at the AGM and there was no talk whatsoever of managerial change either from the shareholders or the top table. What was described as piffle was the "what if" about the season being over a calendar year and the comments about us playing teams on the beach. Nobody, with any view about Hughton can claim any support from comments made by anyone at the AGM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
