Being a merry go round it's never good seeing a yet another casualty long term or short term,with the knock on effect too eventually we will find ourselves with a Wolf at the door of the Amex-Target? Chris.......we need to get up this season.

What's the job life expectancy of a manager these days? Hasselbaink didn't make the year. 3/92 are more than 5 years (a 4th on Wednesday)

Could open the door for a home coming for Ian Holloway - proven in this league and knows the club !
Ps. I like the fella despite his past connections with the scum and he frequently speaks well of the Albion

Probably totally irrational but I don't worry about CH being tempted away. He just doesn't seem the sort to do that. I so hope I'm not proven wrong

I agree, Bloom's not a trigger happy chairman. Plenty in this league are, Hughton knows he has a fantastic opportunity to build something long term with us, and he has made a fantastic start. He knows that Bloom will stick with him through the inevitable dodgy spell, whereas plenty of these Chinese/Middle Eastern owned clubs think sacking their manager after a few bad results will instantly bring an upturn in fortunes. That rarely happens, so IMHO CH is staying put. He is a top-drawer manager who just oozes class, we are lucky to have him, and I sincerely believe, if we and him look around at our other options, neither could do much better.

Agree. Absolutely.
Many sackings at Cardiff but both Vincent Tan and Lakshmi Mittal are pedantically South East Asian both being Malaysian.

Indeed. I remember the days when 'Manager of the Month' was an award. Now it's a job title.

No i think you are right, i think i am with you,that's just the negative side in me coming through,i am a glass half full type normally,but realist at heart.

He'd never go back to QPR. Read his biography to see why.

In the Championship less than half a season.
