funny old game 1 Posted April 6, 2014 So many criticized me back in November when I dared to suggest that this guy would get the best out of our misfiring forward line, some of the comments I seem to remember went along the lines of, we are norwich we play ''football'' not hoof ball & we never want that chav at our club etc etc, well let me tell you the crap we have had to put up with since that time is far worse than anything he would have served up. I intended to wait until the end of the season until I revisited the subject but after watching this latest debacle I feel it''s time to ask those that criticized my observation what they think now....? & Instead of coming out with usual condescending ''I know better than you, pant wetter'' comments try & actually justify why this excuse for a manager is still at our club, I really believe the only hope we have of getting out of this mess is to get rid the entire coaching set up & HOPING!! that the ''new man effect'' lifts the gloom enough to inspire one good performance, because it''s clear that the players are now totally flat & unless something changes to give them fresh impudence next week, we may suffer some crushing defeats in the notorious final 4 games & slip out of the premiership with a whimper.

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted April 6, 2014 Now is not a time for I told you so.Some on here have been saying as early as Liverpool at home last season that Hughton is not the man for the job. Regardless of whose right, the board have most definatley got it wrong. And we pay the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funny old game 1 Posted April 6, 2014 Points scoring!! (Would be nice wouldn''t it!)Perhaps not, fact is there are some on here that preach, ridicule & belittle other posters just for having a different opinion to there''s, even though they never actively contribute treads of there own, so when these posters are proved wrong it''s rather satisfying to say actually you''re not the font of all knowledge & that sometimes other posters views have merit & deserve discussing, but point taken LC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricardo 7,395 Posted April 6, 2014 Six of the bottom teams changed their manager, they can''t all go down. Having said that, Crystal Palace are no doubt congratulating themselves on having done the right thing and on the evidence nobody could disagree. Meanwhile West Ham are probably glad they stuck with big Sam.It''s all swings and roundabouts.Either way, some will have been right and some will have been wrong.

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted April 6, 2014 Tony Pulis has a great record, never been relegated, able to create solid, organised mid table teams with average squads.But the price to pay is too much. Watching a Pulis side play is barely football at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Complacent!! Have you looked at the league table lately, pull your head out of the sand.Boring, only thing boring is the negative tactics produced time & time again & your rather weak effort to belittle anyone who dares to suggest hughton isn''t the right man for the job!

City 2nd 191 Posted April 6, 2014 Oh dear, should we truly be lamenting the style of play of a Tony Pulis side when we have won 18 from 73 matches approx under the guidance of Mr Hughton, who for the record has a win ratio of 29.7% compared to Pulis 36.64 at Stoke, and 40.91 at a Palace! Just a fact - take note Purple! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 441 Posted April 6, 2014 It genuinely saddens me that football has become so focused about the money and the end results, that the football itself is now seen as almost an irrelevance.The fact that managers like Pulis will consistently be employed, despite getting teams to play the most god awful, anti-football you can imagine is beyond ridiculous (hence why so many Stoke fans eventually threw their teddies out of the pram because of it), and if that''s the only way to stay in this league, then f**k it, I''d rather play in the Championship tbh...

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted April 6, 2014 At the end of the day most supporters want to see winning football. Style is certainly one for the purists. Pulis is a master at outwitting the finest coaches in the Prem. Wenger v Pulis is a joy to watch and Wenger regularly comes second. Unbelievably Stoke wanted him out. Unbelievably those not so happy Hammers want Allardyce out. In both cases I would advise them to be careful what they wish for. I know Hughes has carried on with Stokes survival this season but he still had a Pulis legacy. I''m not so sure he can sustain it like Pulis did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
