Quite although the pathway wasn’t great. Football is all what ifs, CH was intending on bringing Viktor G into the first team on a regular basis the following season and who knows what would have happened there.
I know many didn’t like Hughton’s style although he kept us up with a championship side plus a few extras for two seasons quite remarkable really. If we had gone all out like people cried for we would be a Luton or Burnley.
