You too :albion2:

Neither does asking who our best ever manager is when you consider the changes in football since we were last in the top flight; just FYI, I only stated we'd never had anyone get us into the Premier League, not that we'd never had a manager who'd got us into the top flight you patronising shit...

It depends what you define as success, doesn't it. Plus, by definition, most clubs that change managers tend to be clubs down the bottom of the league because they're not doing well, so by nature those that come into such jobs aren't exactly coming into flourishing clubs. But let's look at this...

Okay, let me ask you a few different questions. How many managers out there are better than Hughton right now? How many managers out there are right now are better at developing players? How many are likely to play a more attacking style of football whilst also keeping us in this league? How...

That's because your question is stupid, nonsensical and has absolutely no reference to the future. Hughton has done an excellent job, but that doesn't mean he is now. You think we have further to fall and you have every right to that opinion. Like I said with @El_Presidente, none of us have any...

Beckham played in a team that played much higher up the pitch than us. You can be a wide player and be slow if you're in a team that dominates games. We aren't that team. It's a suicidal move that makes us even more predictable. I think it was a large part of the issue. If you hamstring one...

Again, my mistake. Apologies.

I don't need to. We've not been a side in this position for a long, long time. But NOW we are in this position. Now we aren't a side that requires an excellent Championship manager. Instead, we need an excellent Premier League manager, and CH has proven many times over in the last two seasons...

I think you're missing the point. Trying something new isn't, in and of itself, a bad thing. Trying a tactical plan that simply doesn't add up even on paper isn't a good thing though. He nullified our whole right hand side from the get go. It doesn't take a football genius to see that. And if...

Absolutely it does. Tony Bloom the gambler... (and the millionaire businessman).

Now that I don't disagree with. But I don't support him. I support the club and that's what this comes down to.

100%. As I said, it's a 50/50 chance. But by your logic, there's never any evidence to support a managerial change as, unsurprisingly, we can't collect evidence from the future. Yet people change their managers with regularity, sometimes to good effect and sometimes not so. In this instance...

Taking that comment out of context of the rest of the post isn't fair and you know it. The point is a change of manager is a 50/50 gamble. It could go either way. We could just as easily find a better manager with a bit of research and be looking back in 10 years at how grateful we are to...

I actually really like him in this position. He was excellent there against Watford, for example.

You're thinking like a supporter of a League One side. We're in the Premier League now. Plus the opposing logic could easily be applied. We could easily get a better manager who leads to a better form of football and to us establishing ourselves higher up the table for years to come, at which...

To be honest, I don't support Hughton, I support the football club. And when I'm at games I support the team 100% even when the failings are painfully obvious within seconds of the match starting, as they have been in many recent games. But I don't think Hughton is the right man to take us...

He played on the right hand side of midfield in Germany? Then how come he looked so utterly confused about how to play the role for 30 minutes until the tactical change? The bigger question is why someone who has been in a managerial role as long as he has is trying something so utterly...

I totally get where you're coming from but there's a massive flaw in that logic. Simply put, Bernardo is our most attacking full back and if you're going to try a creative but slow playmaker in front of any full back, it's your most attacking one rather than the 38 year old who isn't going to...

The way he set up the team poorly, rectified it tactically but didn't change the player until half time thus nullifying his own tactical solution, then when he did make a change and it turned the game, he then switched the player who'd changed the game to the opposite side of the pitch where...
