Tin Soldier Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Fingers crossed we get CH. He will command respect from the players. If he was in charge of the players Johnson had in the last 4 years, well .......... Exciting times ahead hopefully. This is a statement of intent from the Board.

t_b Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I want him announced alongside a trio of new exciting signings or nothing at all. If he’s taken this long to decide to come, he better have been working on some players rather than doing some lift engineering on the side.

Granted it did start with the likes of Talksport and the Mail, but for it to be as widely reported there must be something in it, or at least be pretty damn close. Sky Sports are (or were - haven't switched on this morning) running with it. I'd say today, providing it has all been agreed. We need to hit the ground running with deals, pre-season etc, so it makes no sense to hold off announcing anything especially as he isn't tied to another club. 9am(ish) announcement on the way. Mind you they do like a 9pm announcement don't they..... They need to do it early anyway. I have work to do today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ******* stop with it When I took a break from this forum it was the thing I missed the least. Probably some of the least funny people on earth post this type of stuff, it reminds me of the worst comedians of the 1970s & don’t start me on those desperately unfunny running “jokes”, FFS, this week someone is still doing the “I saw Alan Curbishley in Clifton one”, they’ll probably still be posting that zinger after he’s died.

Seems to be running fairly smoothly. It’s a poor comparison anyway as there’s no apparent serious competition for Hughton right now. You don’t have to be negative for the sake of it you know.

Chappers Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Potentially good news if he does sign, but as with every managerial appointment, it comes with no guarantees. A difficult time to manage any EFL club, with so much uncertainty, and the likelihood of a season with no/ limited attendances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 If the announcement's going to happen, surely it has to be today. This feels like standing at the altar on your wedding day, waiting for your stunning bride to walk through the Church door, only she's keeping everyone waiting, and waiting, and waiting. You just know that there are a few men loitering outside of the Church, and they're wondering whether they should try to tempt her away from you. Those bastards, have some respect and just walk away, the woman's already engaged. I've got beads of sweat tricking down my temples, one of those men lurking outside could also be wearing a Watford shirt. I personally wanted the club to give the job to Chris the day after LJ was dismissed. The man is clearly the leading contender for the job. Here's hoping it happens today.

This, by comparison, is straightforward. Some people absolutely love being negative for some reason. Surprised you find this odd tbh. Nketiah was in demand, but we were told it was nailed on we’d get him and look what happened. In Chris Hughton’s case, he’s also an in demand, highly respected manager, who is probably the most highly qualified manager we’ve been seriously linked with in living memory. He’s knocked back five Championship clubs before, as he’d been looking for a Premier League appointment. We’re now right at the end of the season, when the managerial merry-go-round starts, so a potentially dangerous time for us, as at any time, another vacancy could appear that could be very tempting to him and could scupper the negotiations with us. There’s no doubt there can be over-reactions on here at times, but in the case of Chris Hughton, imho these concerns seem justified until all is done and dusted.
