“Bloom is a dickhead”
Do you really mean that? You might not agree with the decision but I think that’s a bit silly....

My big complaint all season, soul destroying for attacking players I would imagine. You get picked on your defensive qualities although you were sold the club as a place to display your talents as a striker/winger
Which is ridiculous, because it's easy to find. You just turn left down the corridor and it's the second door on the right. It also has a sign on it.

Have a word with your other half, I don’t think you and him are singing from the same hymn sheet

Probably not - makes for interesting dinner conversation

Blimey Mouldy, that's some vendetta against our top scorer, I hope for your sake that they're not thinking of making Muzza the new manager, I think you would explode.

The article doesn't allude to that at all.
It pretty much squarely puts the blame on the players for the mess we got in. It exonerates CH, to a much greater extent than even the biggest licker on this board would.
In short Paul Hayward thinks this is a massive mistake.

That's how I read it too, which is different from the Nick Ames article in The Guardian. Hayward seems really bitter about it, and it demonstrates the level of regard he holds for CH.

I tend to agree with him. Not only a massive mistake, but also a massive PR disaster that leaves a very nasty smell around the place. To convince me that this was a good decision, I would need to have it explained to me:-
a) who was ultimately responsible for recruitment - was CH towing the party line when he said he was ok with his squad on Jan 31 ?,
b) why this was announced less than a day after the charade of the parade around the pitch,
c) how long ago it was decided that CH had to go (Bloom sitting down last night and deciding on this course of action just doesn't ring true)
Maybe in 12 months time, I might be thinking what a great idea it was - but, somehow, I doubt it. Bloom now has to put (more of) his money where his mouth is !

Agreed! My concern is we'll crash before we fly again...Will we be able to build a squad from virtually nothing to stay up?
If you think about Flozza, Jurgs and Ali J as being attacking players, who have spent months being made 'Hughton ready' by learning to track back, look to make a sidewaus pass, and largely forget about attacking, you might begin to get the sense they might look a bit shit and feel a bit shit. Apologies for aftertiming but I always felt these 3 were good, could be good and should be good....

This is basically an emotive blog rather than journalism.
What does that even mean?

It might be useful for a further statement to be made backing the recruitment team and supporting the players who've struggled.

Sadly reads as an article written with an agenda.
Obviously has contacts/friends within the club but whether the info he is given is balanced who knows.
I’d certainly say from the experience as a fan this season the guardian article seems much more how I’ve viewed things.
