Of course we will. Look at how much time Hyypia was given.

Well said! My sentiments entirely. we need another 30+ points and only 22 games left. Which is 10 wins, or 5wins & 15 draws etc.... Drives me mad to hear non-positive comments about this guy, who were we expecting? Guardiola ?

Would have preferred McDermott but Hughton is a solid appointment.

Agree, does make me smile what some people appear to expect whether in jest or complete delusion.

Based on his championship stats, we should be finishing the season on 66 points. Not bad.

Excellent appointment...did his time at Norwich overlap with Crofts/E. Bennett?
May I recommend that you adjust your expectations, or you may be a little disappointed. Our squad is a bit behind the Newcastle and Birmingham teams you refer to.
Yes.

Brilliant appointment. Exactly what we need - experience of successfully managing in the Championship, and above. Also experience of youth development. Well done Tony et al. Welcome Chris.
Nathan has won me over and, IMHO, now deserves his place in the Albion's first team management team. Happy to eat humble pie on that one.
Now we haved sacked the failure Burke and have a real manager in place, I also very much look forward to seeing who we bring in in the Jan window.

He's got experience and a great track record, wasn't that what everyone was asking for? Im confident we will stay well clear of relegation now.
Did SSN say he's on a 3 and half year deal? Tony must have faith to sign him for that long.
My only disappointment is that Burke seems to have been replaced , I was hoping we were doing away of this player recruitment role entirely

Excellent choice. Hughton is pleased for the opportunity, whereas Pulis or someone of similar current status would have been frustrated by a Championship club budget. Add Hughton's track record as a coach of younger age levels. Looks promising.

Good luck Chris and welcome, I think you have a massive job on your hands and I wish you well!
I don't give a toss what you have done or achieved before, its what you do from now on in is all that matters to me.

Has he? News to me. Are you referring to our new chief scout - Paul Winstanley. If so, he is not a replacement (Burke's brief was far wider). PW's brief is to support Hughton in player recruitment, not to take the lead on it.

Yep that's about the size of it as basically 90% of our time in the championship has been based around boring negative football and poyet's first season in the championship really was boring with very very goals.Just goes to show how bloody well Oscar did here with so many injuries even though the football was dire.He can't be anymore boring than Garcia or periods under Poyet come to that. What a world of myth some of our fans live in. Hughton is a great appointment Hughton is. I don't recall the Geordie's saying he was boring or the Brummies come to that and where were they...oh yeah the Championship, that's right!!!!! Best appointment we could have possibly made under the circumstances.
Hughton im sure will be a good solid manager and hopefully he may have changed his philosophy and may be a tad more attack minded who knows.
Im pleased and delighted he's got his back room staff with him
