We’ll leave it there, as you’re being childish.

Why do you assume he didn't?

Still pretty interesting.

Obviously - you've bizarrely chosen to edit my statement and deliberately ignore the context. I'm disputing the narrative of Chris "rescuing" us, that makes it sound like we suddenly turned on the style and won multiple games to save our season. We were bloody lucky to stay up. Chris didn't...

The fact he didn't thank TB is at least interesting...

We survived mostly thanks to Cardiff being shitter than us. It was hardly The Great Escape a la Russell Slade.

Fine, if you want to do semantics - it was naive of him to be surprised, given how poorly we were performing.

Blimey, you were obviously in a lot more board meetings than any of us, to know that was the ONLY target set this season. Please, tell us more.

Totally agreed. "We were lucky against Millwall" is such a load of bollocks. If the refereeing was even half decent, the game would've ended about 4-1 to us at full time.

Eh? Of course they do, and in those moments, the managers are usually aware they might be at risk of the chop - that's how football works. That's what I can't believe - that Hughton was shocked - seems incredibly naive for a man who has been in football as long as he. It was obvious to...

So he was shocked about being fired, despite us breaking records for how shit we were? He must've thought it was a possibility.

In terms of performance I don't think it is. We were breaking records for goalless runs, runs of losing at home etc. Some of the worst football I've seen us play in a long, long time. That first half against Newcastle was diabolical.

This makes me think even more that it was the right decision. For him to not have any idea that we were on a massive downward spiral in terms of performances and morale towards the end of this season suggests he wouldn't be the right man to sort it.

Doesn't thank Tony - anyone slightly surprised by that? "Thanks to the chairman for the opportunity etc etc" or still smarting a bit too much?
