JoeAman08 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 All this talk about exciting attacking football is a bit much I feel. Think about it. When we had that season a few years ago I think we fed off the energy more than the goals. I mean the intense closing down and not letting opposition get into any rhythm. We scored a good amount of goals as a result but I think our fanbase possibly appreciated the effort as much as the goals if that makes sense. I saw similar qualities in that Brighton side that got promoted. Another thing about that side is I am not sure it was blessed with so much natural talent. It was a good squad but not full of stars like some of the teams now. Could see our current team performing in a similar way if we got Hughton in. We are so used to seeing them in their current state. In and out of the starting XI, a winger this game a CM in the next, 442 this game 433 the next oh lets go 352 at HT. I believe we have more talent than we can see at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 42 minutes ago, Cardy said: If as reported Chris Hughton is genuinely interested In the job why on earth would we even bother considering anyone else until we have at least spoken to him first? Unless of course the Board / Owner are going to show the lack of ambition that they usually do & end up employing a cheap inexperienced ‘Yes’ man. Now is not the time for that in my opinion - infact you could argue that our stock has never been higher at the time of requiring a new manager. I have (maybe wrongly) always considered our club to be somewhat of a ‘sleeping giant’ that has been unlucky not to get the breaks needed to get to the Premier League - particularly considering smaller clubs have ‘got lucky‘ & beaten us to it. However there comes a time when you begin to wonder whether the Owner really wants it enough or whether he is prepared to make his own luck & take the chance. The next few days & weeks could be very telling in the future direction of this club & my interest levels in it. Our club is currently well regarded as a strong progressive media friendly Championship club with huge potential. We must now look to take advantage of this & push on to the next level. Pick up the phone Mr Lansdown & get it done. Maybe we've already had that conversation Cardy, who knows? There's nothing coming out of the club suggesting anything after all. Hopefully, a discussion has already been had to see if we're in the same ballpark financially and things are moving apace. It might, by the same assumption, not be CH they're targeting. I totally agree about the ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly because despite what people seem to think he's not the bloody messiah (or even a very naughty boy). He is a good manager but there are others who rate an interview too and I would hope we do not rush in and make another almighty blunder. At this stage we have no idea what his demands are. He might be the right man for the job but I wonder if he's appointed and it doesn't work out how many on here will swear they never wanted him in the first place.

I generally think there will be some disappointed fans because I'm not sure we will appoint CH. Time will tell whether that's a good or bad idea but I don't feel we will drop the coach as opposed to manager and bringing youth through policy. CH will expect to buy his own players regardless of age and he usually buys older ie. Glen Murray who did fantastic for him before. This I don't think fits into the transfer policy our club has adopted the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hypothetically we’re talking to him and saying we want you to take us up, but of course, we’ll be selling some our better players at the end of the season, we can anticipate that being quite a large stumbling block. It’s something LJ was prepared to work with, but MA may need to be at his silver tongued best to sell that to the Chris Hughton’s of this world.
