Roadrunner Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I am getting more and more feed up with all these nearly headlines. MacGregor has just posted nothing close with Chris Hughton. Still interviewing others. Could be 7-10 days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hertsexile Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 It only points to one thing the aDNA required is not present at interview so chemistry not happening with the panel as their demands to high. So as has been mentioned before let’s sign that James fellow again and return to calamity. I am rapidly losing interest in the whole process. The club has made up its mind and that’s it.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 FFP. Redundancies- Covid- the optics. I think we need Hughton or someone of his calibre but the above are all factors to take into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going for the cheap options once again! You've contradicted yourself mid-post. Do you think the club haven't agreed anything with Hughton because they don't think he's the right fit or do you think the club haven't agreed anything with Hughton because they want to spend less money? You're posting two very different reasons for a decision as though they are the same one when they clearly aren't. Which do you think it is?

Nobody else should come into the equation, unless it’s a ridiculously unrealistic candidate like Pochettino, Benitez etc. The board is acting like they’re appointing a senior executive at Hargreaves Lansdown.

Correct, Chappers, and the board’s history of choosing managers has been consistently proven to be flawed. According to various media sources, Hughton wants the job. That’s good enough for me. His record at this level speaks for itself. If he wants it and is the best candidate, he should get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends what he wants, and if we can afford to agree. Not normal times right now. Also, I never trust the press with these sort of stories. I also think that the CH thing on here is turning into a bandwagon of hype. He definitely would be a good choice, but he won’t be the only string candidate, and the Board have to take other factors into account. No manager comes with any guarantees whatsoever.

It may possibly be that SL wants to explore every avenue and we have no idea whatsoever who has applied . And no ,the board are not acting like they're appointing an exec- they're acting like the want to appoint the right guy. Shame on them not to rush into such an easy decision which ,of course, would bite them on the bum if it doesn't go well . Maybe just maybe CH isn't the only high quality candidate who can see the potential of a truly grounded, well supported, well run, well financed football club with a brilliant stadium , youth policy and state of the art training base.

davidoldfart Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Who on this site is in the position to name anyone other than CH who is on the short list.Therefore all this hot air and speculation about the relative strengths of The candidates Is just that.We do not know if CH is the best option and until the next person is appointed ,we cannot make a judgement - so lets all settle down until the appointment is made..Why get angst about something you cannot control.

We don't have any money so not a comparison just a little humour saying how ironic it is you have a billionaire who can basically get who he wants to get you out of the championship but seems to be frustrating you fans by dithering. Going back to our chairman he may have many faults but he's positive and makes decision quickly just like previous chairman over the last 35 years when appointing MaCari, Ardilles, Hoddle, McMahon & DiCanio .

The decision to appoint LJ certainly wasn’t based on his CV, either. Dawe choose Cotts. The only good appointment SL has been involved in during the last 20 years was Wilson, IMO.

And both johnsons as well as Cotterell, Prob is every chairman owner has a history of it, Every manager fails thats why there is a manager merry go round, The club is in a much better position then it was 20 years ago, thats what the owners success or failure should be measured on, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may have made two fundamental errors in your comment. Just because Steve is a Billionaire does absolutely not get him any Manager (or Player for that matter) that he wants and you may well have mistaken 'dithering' for due process. If CH throws a wobbly because SL doesn't immediately offer him the best and arguably the safest job currently available in the EFL then he isn't the right Manager anyway. As for fans frustration- everyone knows that any footie fan can run a club, choose a Manager, choose a player , choose a playing system much better than the idiots who are.

I personally don’t class LJ as a success, though, but I won’t go over that again. Cotts was Dawe’s appointment. I agree our stock has never been higher in the last 20 years, and SL has been a wonderful benefactor to facilitate that. That’s also why I think it’s amazing to have proven candidates like Hughton interested and the board would be mad not to offer him the job based on two promotions at this level, he has most fans’ backing and - by all accounts - he actually wants the job. As usual, though, we all want us to succeed and that’s just my opinion as to the best way to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
