When I suggested bringing in Mullery that was exactly the reasoning perhaps CH should get him in to give a talk. Bruno is already there as Club Captain so presumably has no input.

That is where the questions must be asked and the problem rectified whether we stay up or are relegated. but isnt that why Dan Ashworth has been brought in

why should he as he is doing a great job as required by TB
Presumably, but how long has the alleged ‘unrest’ been there, or did it coincide with Ashworth’s appointment?
Just saying.

unanswered questions that we will never know the answer to unless somebody is sacked and reveal all.

Our recruitment this year was primarily to strengthen the squad so that if any player was out for injury / suspension / intl duty , then there was a replacement or two well able to fill in. So CH has been unable to produce any different a style than in the past. Hard to see much point kicking him out now with 5 games left including 3 against top 6 teams where we would have to play his way anyway.
If we go down, then there will be lots of players in and out. CH has shown that he can do well at Championship level and will have a ' newish' squad. ( And perhaps the chance to give some of the U23s a chance )
If we stay up, then our recruitment strategy will surely be to bring in significant upgrades on current players. We may only be able to afford a couple. Will that be sufficient for CH to change the style of play ? TB is a true fan just like us - He understands the need for a change. If CH feels that with his input to the recruitment of a couple of upgrades he is able to make the change then perhaps TB will give him a chance. But if things are no better as we approach Christmas then part company with him on good terms.
I haven't read all of this or similar threads so this may have been said before...... One manager who is unsettled at the moment, who is filling a similar role successfully, and who seems to carry himself with the dignity which matches the Albion's style is Rafa.

I am not Tony but he is doing the job exactly as specified to improve our financial standing and rely less on TB. Unpopular with fans but that was to be expected if he did his job properly.

How the hell do you come to that conclusion? Worse? Really? We are football fans fed up with 2 years of mostly shit football. Especially away from home. Now at home we can't score a f.ucking goal against the strugglers in FIVE games. Most have realised that our manager is in fact quite shit at PL football, certainly in 2019 and definitely away from home for two seasons.
Anyway, carry on believing whatever it is you're believing in.

I think last night confirmed that he hasn't sorted it out and this is as bad as it can be results wise.

Its not ok but to be expected as we have grown from a small friendly family club to a much higher level.
Like Norwich fans know anything. We did well enough last season, and did well the first half of this season. We've had a poor few months, due to a combination of things, but that doesn't mean it's all down to Chris. You also need to accept that we have one of the smallest budgets, and with that in mind we're not actually under-performing.
Oh god it's worse than I thought. The man fully responsible for all our progress and success, who owns the club, clearly knows nothing about football.

Get the bland prick out
Well, everything they predicted has come true!
I think players have been ground down by the negative tactics. Once players lose confidence, they lose belief in coming back. That's what it's looked like in the past few matches.
You can tell from selections that players are picked for their defensive qualities.
And, finally, our new signings have looked poor - or Chris hasn't got the best out of them.
I don't think he'll be our manager next season - not in the Premier League anyway.

Massive bunch of dickheads on here. Anyone booing last night should do one and not come back.
Considering our budget and our squad, Houghton has done an amazing job.
Plonkers calling for attack attack have their heads up their arses. We simply don't have the quality to play that kind of football .. yet.
It's mission survive for at least the first 3 or 4 years of being in the Premiership.
Sure we have hit a bad spell.. very bad.. somethings gone wrong somewhere, but we don't know the story in the dressing room.
Houghton had done us proud. You knobs should wake up and get behind him. He is working with what he has.
