[Albion] Matt Hughes The Times "Hughton feels the heat"

Steve in Japan · Apr 12, 2019

Prob bollocks but FWIW

Hughton feels the heat
Chris Hughton is facing rumblings of discontent from certain Brighton players over his perceived negative tactics, with some claiming privately that the manager’s overriding concern is ensuring that they do not lose. Brighton have won only two Premier League matches this year and have failed to score in their past three games. Hughton’s position is not under threat, however, as victory over Cardiff on Tuesday, or even against Bournemouth tomorrow, should keep them in the Premier League for a third season. While the Brighton owner Tony Bloom is ambitious to push on, Hughton is popular at the Amex Stadium, where it is acknowledged that replacing him would represent a significant gamble.

Nonsense. 2+2= 5

Interesting, wonder which players he could be referring to,

Seems to reflect a cross-section of opinion on here.

I'd imagine there are players unhappy with Hughton. I don't think I have ever played for a club where there weren't unhappy players. Those who aren't in the team or not getting as much money as others or think they should be playing more or in a different position, every club has this, its natural and no big deal.

The Times, the thinking mans Sun!

He's actually a Huddersfield supporter and thinks he knows much more than he does. For example, he claimed that Siewert was going to be sacked in the week after Hudds lost at Palace because all the players hated him. And of course, that happened. Oh wait, no it didn't. So if he gets stuff wrong about the club he supports, I don't see why anyone would take any notice of anything he says about us.

Hughton is to scared to drop Murray despite him being far from any kind of form.

There will be an element of truth in it [theres no smoke without fire] and someone will be in trouble for blabbing.

Based on nothing but complete guess work maybe our hot headed Iranian friend or one of his entourage?

Let’s see who gets CHOPPED from the starting XI tomorrow...

If it had said there were rumblings from the fans, but that he was popular with players you'd think 'well, duh. Anyone of us could have written that'. But to suggest the rumblings of discontent exist in the players but that 'hughton is popular at the amex' (which I read as, popular with fans) seems the wrong way around.

If there’s truth in it I wholly expect a club sanctioned Naylor penned riposte in which CH says it’s only natural for players to have nagging doubts about their managers tactics or be disgruntled about not playing from time to time etc.

Followed up by full on mentalist CH going APESHIT on the training ground and offering out the culprit(s).

Stephens and Knockaert if I had to guess

While chris undoubtedly has the support & loyalty of most of the players. If i turned up to work every week & was told I'm good but the other team were better then maybe some weeks it wouldnt always motivate me to do my best (some it would & others I'd think- if i lose it doesn't really matter)

whosthedaddy · Apr 13, 2019

FWIW

I've heard about rumblings from certain players about Hughtons' negative tactics, and of being sent onto the pitch with a 'let's not concede' verbal instruction prior to entering the stadium, make of that what you will.

What I do know definitely know is this...if we play like we did against Southampton the fans will be showing signs of discontent too.

Do you think that's what CH actually says to the players, then? I've no idea, obviously - no inside knowledge or football managerial experience - but it seems a bit unlikely, really.

One of the sillier phrases in the English language. As the press (and NSC!) often prove, there is frequently smoke without fire!

‘The customer is always right’ is another one.

If I was a winger I’d be a little miffed at being converted into a defender :smile:
