I'm hoping for a Saturday evening bumper announcement. They surely wouldn't do it on a Sunday... The last day of the prem. Keep that F5 button going... So we still haven’t had it from a reputable and reliable source that it’s happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Maybe Hughton is waiting on Watford to sack their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a church St Mary of Magdalen in Oxford which is pronounced the way it is spelt, so its a little unclear. Magdalene college in Cambridge is definitely pronounced Maudlin, the reason I subscribe to is that the original benefactor had the family name of Maud and was insistent that his name should be incorporated into the college in some way, but there are other theories. This gives Lez some leeway I guess in what he wishes to claim as his alma mater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the head ‘analyst’. He’s basically the bloke who looks at data and tells others to look at data. Definitely NOT ‘talent ID’ or a scout in any way shape or form. Also a Leeds fan.

mozo Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I can't think of time since Danny Wilson that there was a manager that fans were so widely supportive of as Hughton. The club has been tweeted nearly every hour of every day about #announcehughton. The board will be aware of the groundswell of opinion and you wonder how much it creeps into their minds during the 'process'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Don’t know what thread to put this on, so thought here!! Couple things. 1 Mark Robins ( people are still linking him with our job) is currently on the touch line at Ibrox where Rangers are playing Coventry in a pre season friendly. 2, not big news, but I’m watching Weymouth v Dorking in the non league play offs atm, and interestingly for us City fans, Gerry Gow’s grandson is playing for Weymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe not terrible but less than ideal I'd say. Number of Championship clubs announcing redundancies...Over to @Monkeh Your last list following research was suspect. Point about company structure, is just while technically true, more complex- especially how it would play. AGL, Bristol City FC and Bristol City Holdings- these all have the same ultimate beneficial owner/ The KFC and McDonalds comparison is simply misleading. Irrespective, it wouldn't have a technical effect but it would look pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does everything have to be so negative with our support? I wasn't being negative, in the slightest. I was being very droll... I shall spell it out ... Watford have a reputation for hiring and firing at will. I merely made the remark that Hughton was waiting for Watford to hire and then fire their next manager before hiring him. I trust that clarifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
