Mac-Toon 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Just listening to 5live and the club have realised a statement saying "Chris is our manager, he will remain our manager, and we are re-negotiating his contract presently". Best bit of news I've heard all week. Seems the club aren't allowing the media to fabricate stories about us to fill the sheets. Or, is it the dreaded vote of confidence only for him to walk around new year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac-Toon 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) I said it was the best news all week, tongue in cheek. I've no doubt it means nothing because it's all judged on results and so far they've been acceptable enough. I'm sure his win % since taking over full time will be up there. Granted, at a lower level for the majority of the time. Edited October 27, 2010 by Mac-Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Panic button might be pressed for no reason. Par for the course with this lot. MA: What's that big red button?

trophyshy 7084 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 "Chris is our manager" Didn't they say they were going to keep their fool mouths shut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac-Toon 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 "Chris is our manager" Didn't they say they were going to keep their fool mouths shut? Media blackout as far as I was aware. I'm sure a statement was released in the summer about it. They're on a wing and a prayer with every ill thoughtout decision they make. Fuckin' cowboys.

Deano 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 What i can see happenin is we will get the new year and when Chris asks for money to spend as part of the new deal he will get told no point blank and be forced to leave. Personally i want him to stay in charge, keep us up and then at the end of the season when we are safe MA fucks off and sells us. Possibility?

Personally i want him to stay in charge, keep us up and then at the end of the season when we are safe MA fucks off and sells us. Possibility? Any money he will get to spend in January will be a fraction of anything made through shippin' out some dead wood. But then who is of any value that is worth losing? The players surplus to requirements that we have are worth pennies. Best, Ryan Taylor, Steven Taylor (possibly cheap with him not having signed an extension and Ashley will definitely cash in if he thinks he'll go for free. I like Chris, seems genuine, honest and has no doubt built a strong spirit within the squad. He's the perfect manager for Ashleys regime though - cos he's new to the profession, at a massive club and doesn't seem like he'd give Ashley much grief. I don't know if MA is actually capable of selling the club - no doubt would fill any prospective buyers full of shit and they'd run a mile.

OTF 7496 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Commentators were belting on about it before the game. Don't see how this talk could have actually picked up after the win over West Ham, doesn't make sense. The club should have reassured Chris behind closed doors and not entered into this sort of 'discussion' with the press etc. We don't need any distractions ahead of the game on Sunday.

sammynb 3517 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 No doubt Ashley feels the PR woman they hired early in the off season was the best buy the club has had in years. If only the cunt had of taken his loan from the RBS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22015 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 What's Hughton on? I've heard it's a derisory sum. His stock is probably high enough now he might decide to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a correction.... "Chris (Hughton) is our manager, and he'll remain our manager, and we will renegotiate his contract at the end of the year." Apologies, for that. I was just writing what I could gather from the quick statement on the radio. I think no matter what happens with CH, we won't get blamed for driving him out for a change. Even the rags realise Ashley is a better scapegoat for them to sell papers than the fans of our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Typical of the club tbh. Making a statement to quell the speculation and, in the course of doing so, having the opposite effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically following the statement that club won't be making any statements. I think they view policy's as being there to be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 If they want him why are they waiting to January to offer him a new contract. It stinks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackbleep 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Aren't we in the process of offering a contract to a prospective assistant manager? If we're undertaking that process AND the club genuinely have the confidence in Chris Hughton that they're claiming, surely it makes more sense to have the pair of them commit to a new contract at the same time? Stinks to high heaven IYAM. And we'll be blamed when CH is (wrongly) shown the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
