Christmas Tree 4444 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Maybe Hughton will be the man! We know their is a gravy train of shit managers out there who just do the rounds achieving very little and picking up nice wages. The Hughes, Allardyces, Bruces etc etc Then theirs the young uns who are meant to be the future such as Keane, Inces etc. Again not proven and just waiting to get on the big boy gravy train. Then we have Hughton. Not only does he look like Obama, he is roundly judged by his peers to be a fairly good coach. Is that not a good solid platform on which to build a career as a manager? Is he not learning how to control a game and become tactically aware this season? Does he seem to make good substitutions? And do some of his transfer dealings look as though they are making a difference? Of course only time will tell, but maybe it is time to stop thinking of the glory manager and just see if we are grooming a little gem right under our nose. Chris, you have my full support.

Good result and brave and astute starting line up from CH for a change. On the other hand Cardiff were missing 2/3 and started with too many youngsters.

Christmas Tree 4444 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 And how many "1st teamers" were we missing? Could have all back fired terribly for Hughton so all credit to him, particularly bearing in mind the dross performances we were coming into this game on the back of. It will interesting to see what happens over coming weeks with who he plays. Hope he has the balls to make senior players wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Team picked itself tbh. Wouldn't have played that side with two wide men and Guthrie in the middle if Smith and/or Butt had been available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if you're saying the only reason to keep him is that the clowns in charge can't attract better. Sad state of affairs. Although I don't see what that has to do with the post of mine you quoted. Edited February 6, 2010 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4444 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The question should probably be shouldn't we hurry up and get him tied down on a proper contract before another club recognises his achievements and snaps him up. When you consider that alot of pundits and many on here thought we may do a Leeds, the job he has done with the burdens of low moral, Ashley and knowing a lot of the fans wanted shearer, then it becomes clear why a lot of other chairman will be keeping a watchfull eye on events.

Guest alex Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Aye, lets get him on a long contract before we've seen if he can cut it next year. That way, if he does fuck up we won't be able to afford to get rid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, if he does fuck up we won't be able to afford to get rid That could apply to any of the money go round managers as we know better than most. What would Hughton have to next season to convince you he's worth a proper contract? I also wonder what your answer would have been to the above if it had been asked on the eve of this season?

snakehips 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hughton's on about £300k isn't he? I bet he's on a £1m bonus if he get's us promoted. And if we do get promoted he will be on anogther performance-related bonus of keeping us up. Performance-related payments are the way forward for managers. Rather than paying them shit loads for abject failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21302 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'm torn over hughton. You'd have to say he deserves a crack at it if we go up. Surely he will have earned it? Plus ashley is unlikely to get rid because he is cheap and a yes man. Got next Glenn Roeder written all over it if you ask me. Hope he can prove us wrong mind. At least he's a nice bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 We have a far better chance of staying up next year with a bit of stability. No point whatsoever in bringing in another mediocre manager to rock the boat....like the 7 managers in the last 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think he (and us) has ridden his luck a bit this season. However, if he gets us promoted, then that means he has turned round the performances of the last month (evidenced on friday), as that luck wont last and WBA and Forest will take over unless we sort things out. Promoted as champions, keep. Promoted in second or play-offs, dont keep. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 The Times statos always reckon there isn't much difference between the bottom half of the PL and the top half of thee CL - all you need is a bad run (or a stupid, interfering owner and his cockney mates) to do for you and put you down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6253 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Under the current regime, I think people on here are delusional if they think we are going to take the PL league by storm like we did under Keegan. All we will be expected is to finish fourth bottom. Hughton might be capable of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
