Juggy 0 Posted April 12, 2014 ^^^^ in which case he should still resign.If a decision like this went to a board vote then we are truly tinpot.Are you saying Phillip J Fry that a comedian with the same surname as you who has admitted he knows nothing about football is considered qualified to cast a vote on whether Hughton stayed or was dismissed?Our board is not qualified to make decisions like that, wasn''t that the whole point in McNally leading the club in the first place?If McNally has been undermined he should resign.If McNally has not been undermined he should resign.

Yellow Shirt 17 Posted April 12, 2014 He should shoulder responsibility but I don''t know about resign- he has a lot to offer the club and I don''t know who we''d bring in. I''d like to think he''ll be held to account but not necessarily by leaving the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Catbeard The Old 0 Posted April 12, 2014 Keeping Hughton on for so long despite his many, many obvious glaring faults and the very obvious direction he was taking us was negligible to the extreme.Whoever made the decision to keep Hughton on is responsible for all this and should be made accountable, it was as bad a decision is appointing Bryan Gunn!

Juggy 0 Posted April 12, 2014 We need answers, lots of answers, a full account of what happened this season.Does anybody have faith that we will appoint the right manager in the summer? The same people who appointed Hughton, allowed him to blow £50m on players, and then failed to sack him until 5 games before the end of the season despite widespread unrest amongst fans.Do we have faith in their next decision?

mrs miggins 0 Posted April 12, 2014 Although he should have either:Sacked hughton a long time agokept hughton in to finish the seasongot someone else in other than Adams.The fact is that he has been a major part of the clubs success since coming here and is organised, seems to have his $hit together. He should stay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you want a return to that?"No, which is why this is the right time for Delia and MWJ to sell their shares in the club, so that we aren''t lumbered with a board who make stupid decisions like giving the club secretary the job as CEO and an overweight club commercial manager who happened to play a bit of footy 20 years earlier as team manager.

iron_stan 0 Posted April 12, 2014 hughton did the same thing game in game out, and expected different results, it was obvious he had to be sacked months ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted April 12, 2014 he removed his head from his backside long enough to sack Hughton... wonder if he planted it firmly back there after hiring Adams?Perhaps hoots and the players weren''t the problem after all???? it''s all lookingn too late to save the season... i said last week Adams smacks of Gunn cheap option to unite the fans.. it''s all come full circle and McNally needs to be held accountable along with the rest of the boardlet Dave know it''s time to go....

Thecanaryfan 0 Posted April 12, 2014 Sacking a manager costs money. He. I''m sure now realises that has cost the club 60 million pounds and survival. You cant afford to be greedy at this level. Chris should have gone a long time back. His gamble in keeping him was always going to backfire. However we are not down yet.Please keep faith. If we support the club like we are already down. The club will play liuke they are already down. Man U and Arsenal are very much winible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to have seen Hughton succeed... perhaps he would have under different circumstances... the board felt he wasnt the man for the job (he could have kept us up... all immaterial)either way.. they must have thought it for longer after not allowing him to spend money in January so why wait so long...Honestly, I feel sorry for Adams, on a hiding to nothing... Hughton was trying to scrape results with what he had and the board sat in the ivory tower....not sure if you are old enough to remember but this has shades of Deehan/Megson under Chase.... and look how that ended up!

I suspect our players have relegation wage cut clauses.Getting relegated is going to be an utter pisstake based on what a good position we were in but it is not going to bankrupt us.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted April 12, 2014 Keep all members of the board, the majority of there decisions have been correct, one error does not constitute a sacking, it''s continual errors that get you the sack. eg. Hughton ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 490 Posted April 12, 2014 Just to add to the misery, I hope people won''t expect an immediate return should we go down. It''ll be many seasons before we return again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
