Since 1980 27 Posted April 6, 2014 Responses taken from Skysports website. jacobsen says 06/04/14 9:06pm Shocking and unnecessary. Why sack a manager with just 5 games to go? Especially considering that their last 4 games are Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal. What makes it worse is that they have appointed their U-18''s coach full-time by the looks of it. I thought Norwich were a well ran club. My opinion is now starting to change. Reply 0 0 ruddigore says 06/04/14 9:05pm I would suggest that in order to have ''the maximum chance to secure the points required between now and the end of the season'' the board should have let Chris Hughton see out the rest of the season. Sacking a manager with just 5 games to go is madness Reply 0 0 jupiter says 06/04/14 9:04pm This is a bad decision. They should have kept him. This may destroy the team moral. Reply 0 0 riccappy says 06/04/14 9:04pm Disgraceful...Hughton has done a brilliant job at a club who are punching above their weight in the Prem.We''ll see how they do without him,not only for last 5 games but also next year... Reply 0 0 akamully says 06/04/14 9:02pm I cannot believe this! OK their away form is awful, but so is arsenals. But their home form is really good. Only 1 loss in 6! a run which included a win versus spurs and a draw with title favourites city. Very harsh to sack him. Reply 0 0 az says 06/04/14 9:01pm A bit premature I felt Chris was doing ok not in the danger zone, he was sacked at Newcastle though he was doing fine there, sorry to see him go. Reply 0 0 malotbc says 06/04/14 9:00pm Left it to late, should have been done months ago. Given Neil very little room to achieve anything. Reply 0 0 one goodeye says 06/04/14 9:00pm What will Norwich achieve by sacking a manager with 5 games to go? best of luck wherever you go next Chris, hope you find a club that appreciates you Reply 0 0 big red says 06/04/14 8:58pm Why would you be a manager? All that blood sweat and tears for what? The craziness of the manager merry go round takes another victim in 2013 / 2014. Good luck Chris. You will probably be back in the PL before Norwich! Reply 0 0 dannyg says 06/04/14 8:58pm What do you expect when they haven''t won 2 league games in a row all season! Reply 0 0 jft96 says 06/04/14 8:56pm i cant explain this action...replacing CH with Neil Adams...seriously! Reply 0 0 milo says 06/04/14 8:55pm This should have happenned at Christmas time. Far too late to make any difference and will probably only make our relagation even more inevitable now Reply 0 0 bexyboy says 06/04/14 8:54pm what a joke, the board knew 18 months ago he had no leadership skills and was going to struggle in his job, now the season is near over, they sack him to save face and get the fans back on side, hope Mcnally has left the club aswell, your left it too late to save the club, OTBC Reply 0 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Catbeard The Old 0 Posted April 6, 2014 I couldn''t care less about what any of them think. They have no idea what they''re talking about or whats been going on here. All they see is tiny country club sack lovely bloke who was just trying his best against all odds. They''re opinion the same as everyone spouting off in the media is complete rubbish, the board have made the only decision they could Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted April 6, 2014 I can only hope Hughton ends up managing a club that one of those ''support''. They are probably all plastic Man U fans calling for Moyes to be sacked or Newcastle fans in mid table calling for Pardew to be sacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricardo 7,239 Posted April 6, 2014 Would they want to condemn him to a home match against Liverpool with the inevitable result of the crowd turning on the poor ba$tard.No it''s best he goes now for his own sake if not the clubs. I''ve always supported him and the team. Not to have done so would have been perverse IMO Once the chants started it was non survivable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Catbeard The Old 0 Posted April 6, 2014 [quote user="cman"]Why as they have a different opinion to you?[/quote]Given that their opinion is based upon nothing more than Chris Hughtons character and that they perceive our club to be much smaller than we actually are, yes. Their opinion is just plan wrong, not to mention they never watch us play kinda means anything they say is completely invalid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted April 6, 2014 Yes its too late and has little chance of success but something needed to be done. These idiots don''t see the problems with City''s performances since December 2011 home or away the results have largely been poor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 6, 2014 I have completely mixed reactions over this news. Long term I believe it totally correct. But short term... My only concern is that Hughton, love him or loathe him, had a pretty decent record against the ''big boys'', and as we''ve got 4 in the last 5 I would have backed him to get A win. What concerns me is the players know this ''confidence builder'' and, perhaps tellingly, the players representing Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd and (not so much!) Liverpool know this as well - remember they will likely be under pressure as well...Hughton sadly not the right man, and had to go - but as for the reasons stated... I''m not quite jumping through hoops. Think a Hoddle type short term would be more ''intimidating'' to the opposition, and would give their managers more food for thought.Onwards...

Jonás Gutiérrez 0 Posted April 7, 2014 Unlucky lads, can see yous being down for a few seasons now, let''s hope you get a good manager next. Hughton will be back in the premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
