Regardless of how 2019/20 pans out it neither proves that sacking Hughton was a good decision, nor does it prove it was a bad decision.

If we finish 10th under a new manager, there is no way of knowing that we wouldn't have finished 9th under Hughton.

if we go down in 18th position under a new manager, there is no way of knowing that we wouldn't have finished 19th under Hughton.

We won't have the benefit of assessing the new manager under the same conditions as Chris Hughton, so there is no way of knowing who would have produced the better outcome.

Nothing more need be said.

Good luck with that.

First sign of a blip and you know what will happen. Likewise if we do well, there will be smug comments.

Going to take a while to move past this decision I feel.

Agreed. Significantly, there's not just a managerial change occurring - there will be adjustments to our recruitment strategy and subsequent personnel change, changes in our opposition, and changes in expectation.

What about 10th place playing attacking football?

We can't even agree on whether a honey badger is hard, how do you expect us to agree on this?!

That won't fly with the 'be careful what you wish for' crowd or the 'who do brighton think they are' brigade.

Absolutely. The butterfly has flapped her wings, we're going in this direction now. It won't stop the speculation, the chase is better than the catch.

You must be new here. The first rule of NSC is that we'll never agree on anything.

Maybe reworded, that post would have gone down better on the Brexit thread :facepalm:
