Do you believe Hughton can put together a top 6 side?

Rookie · Apr 25, 2015

As the title says.

Despite not having the greatest assets to work with I have been very underwhelmed with what Hughton has done so far. I don't think his only job would have been survival, I'm sure bloom and the board would have expected a bit more than 5th bottom.
Obviously still early days and will need a summer of rebuilding, but his refusal to use the youth players while continuing with the same loan players who failed week in week out doesn't bode well for me.

with the players we had, what were they on .....and where can I get some

Yes, Keep Stockdale, Baldock, Kayal and go from there.

hopefully but all down to bloom and how much money he gives hughton for the playing side and what quality we bring in

In essence, this. We need a right good clear out and give the guy a chance to build something. Won't suit the 'I want to be 20 points clear by Xmas instant success' merchants but it WILL take a season or so.

Whilst I agree with all your points made, I think he has the potential to do it. I was particularly angered by the playing of the loan players today, I would much rather have seen some fringe or devt players step up at this point. What was there to lose?

Easy answer to that one is...NO, not in one summer transfer window anyway.

If players were made of bricks and mortar then Tony B would have no issue spending the required dosh, as it is...No

Spiros · Apr 25, 2015

Isn't it what he did at Newcastle?

Hampster Gull · Apr 25, 2015

Yes i think he can. Dont know whether he will

Norman Baker suck my lozenge · Apr 25, 2015

I think Hughton is capable but our board simply does not have ambition,to much penny pinching and fannying around,players know that this club is NOT the place to come and further their career,a loyal season ticket fan base has been taken for mugs.
Bottom 3 next season,nailed on.

Definately ........... with a Premiership team

Juror#13 · Apr 25, 2015

No chance.

SteveTheSeagull · Apr 25, 2015

I do but Blooms going to have to put his hand in his pocket and allow CH to pick his own players with a half decent budget set by the club. Can't build a strong foundation on loans.

I voted no on the basis that in his post match interview he said that he thought JFC had a good game.

RexCathedra · Apr 25, 2015

The difference between 5th and 6th on the one hand, and 14th and 15th on the other, isn't that great.
So, sure, yes he can.

Had he listened to you we would have been in trouble with FL for not fielding our strongest side/ Watford are promoted as are Bournemouth if they win on Monday so we could do it next week.no problem

peterward · Apr 25, 2015

can hughton build a top 6 side?..................... Yes

but it depends most on Will Bloom allow Hughton to build a top 6 side?

A) Will bloom splash the cash early,not miss Hughtons targets and give newbee's pre season?

B) Will bloom leave everything to the 11th hour in hope of getting last min bargains and leave a pissed off Hughton with a choice of last turkey in shop, dross or poor quality loans?

its not all about the money, look at Berem Kayal, probably our best player at the moment and cost relatively little

Did he add much to them following relegation?
