Why does a grain of hope that our new manager might be doing something right seem to give some pillocks licence to denigrate everything CH did? CH did a brilliant job for this club; end of. Anyone who thinks different is an idiot.
Who knows what this window - and the pre-season friendlies - would have been like if CH wassail in charge? None of us on NSC, that's for certain. We are in a different place now - for better or for worse - the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. Here's hoping it's good (and even if it's f*kcin' brilliant, that still doesn't make CH a failure, even if you'd been shouting for him to go since Christmas!).

Which as we all know is the usual response of a new signing.
So, x, what made you join the club?
Money. The team are shit and the manager's a **** but you're paying me loads of money, so...

I think it is fair to say that we developed a definate reputation for negative football last season. I think it's also fair to say that players do consider those kinds of things when deciding whether to move to a club.
No doubt in my mind that there would be players turning us down right now because of that reputation, if the plan had been for more of the same next season.

i think all the posters thinking hughts could do no wrong, and we're all of to hell in a handcart, cos his employer fired him did start to grate a bit.
obvious reaction i'm thinking

Nobody is saying CH was a failure as far as I can tell.
But the reality is that when he left we weren't a club playing good football, we weren't a club looking good for next season, we weren't a club where the players (or the fans) seemed to be enjoying the football. This wasn't a particularly happy or confident camp, and that was coming across even to the casual observer.
CH was a success here, and we were a success under his charge for the most part. But our form, our morale and our reputation were all dropping like a stone, and this window was either going to come with the club in the midst of an unresolved descent, or it was going to come with the club at the beginning of a fresh start.
I think we could have seen a more difficult transfer window had it not been the latter.

Give it a rest - the simple fact is you don't know, and is ultimately just another cheap shot at Chris Hughton!

You can’t compare - just leave it at that.

Not seen such Bravery!
Also - no need for them to get measured up by the shackle fitter prior to signing, which may have put a few off.

Craig Hignett will be our next manager

Don’t all new signings say the same shite just worded slightly differently?

Two Championship players, a League 1 player and a bloke from Genk?
Gosh. Yes. We've reached for the stars.
Are you a bit simple?

I shudder to think but it suddenly occurs to me there are people on here who constantly weigh up the merits of their missus versus the exes, every day. Every day.
I love the way Maupay made it clear that he wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Potter’s positive philosophy. You might want to reflect on that TSB.
You also might want to stop belittling our new signings before they’ve had a chance to show what they can do. Your incessant negative spin is an embarrassment to you.
Oh, and Mr 9-0——————————————-1 has gone, so get over it.
