Yellow Shirt 17 Posted January 15, 2014 Hughton''s job is ''safe for now''."Brief was to keep us out of the bottom 3 and we are not in the bottom 3."Very disappointed to read that- it could be far too late by the time we drop into the relegation zone (which I''m sure we will at some point).I wonder if that is an interpretation of the BBC interview or Sky''s own.

This is to be expected, he has the Hull game to get the team playing and even then I would think that maybe another manager is being lined up, who knows not us the fans!

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 15, 2014 Sounds like the dreaded vote of confidence to me. He''s lucky he survived last night, but as others have pointed out, the FA Cup is pretty insignificant in our plans this season when we have premiership safety in mind. It certainly doesn''t help, especially the manner of defeat last night but I do think it''s come down to the game versus Hull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted January 15, 2014 This awful farce proves that McNally does not have the nous and wisdom that we all thought he possessed. Delia and Michael are much too nice to sack anybody, and so they are sort of blameless to some degree. Oh dear, it''s a pity we don''t have a ruthless board.

Salopian 1 Posted January 15, 2014 If Delia and Michael are persevering with Hughton, could it be that it is because they want the club to be like themselves - pleasant, nice people, not aggressive and wanting the club to be a family club?If so, they have forgotten what happened when they dallied over Worthington.They are intelligent people and know business, so it is surprising that they wish to continue with a disappointing manager until it will be arguably too late to avoid the drop.Within two or three weeks we could be fixed in the bottom three. Have they taken advice and sounded out expert opinion? You would hope so.At the moment our season is worse than last year, when we escaped with some unexpected points in a the last few games. If anything we are leaking goals worse than ever, and failing to score.I must admit that I gave the manager the benefit of the doubt until November - he had suffered bad luck with injuries and bedding down many new players was obviously going to be more difficult than expected. There was also the added problem over the uncertainty of Howson''s injury., but at times now the team seems to be not even trying, merely going through the motions. This must be obvious to the owners, This is repeating the pattern of last year, except that the good run this season was perhaps three games rather than ten. What would convince the owners to act soon - a defeat on Saturday? They will certainly struggle against another lowly side but with a much better midfield than we have.
