Silly old bat
Because his assistant manager and coach were sacked as well. I couldn't see Chris resigning and leaving his crew in the lurch.

He also wanted progression from Poyet but we got a weaker team with Oscar, then a much weaker team with Sami. Pointless pretending these are one way bets.
He can help his bet pay off by giving him better players, I hope this is what will happen

He came back after three days but left them a bit later.

Perhaps the writing on the wall was the deputy chairman giving an interview a few days before the end of the season saying ""Chris has done a fantastic job over four-and-a-half years"

Clear sign that he was for the push...

Agreed, but the club pretty much WAS fighting relegation when he joined, so technically correct. Maybe a bit of artistic license as he didn't exactly do a Steve Gritt, but correct from one way of looking at it.

Can we get one thing straight re that season we stayed up. It was Blackburn beating Millwall on the Tuesday nite before we were due to play Boro in the final game of the season (no not that one) that kept us up. It was up until that point highly probable that we may have had to get a result to stay up and with our form going into that game I doubt we would have got it.
Apart from a brief purple patch in Jan where we beat Leeds, mugged Derby and scraped past Birmingham we started to stink out from Feb (winning one in March Blackburn A thanks to an OGGY/O'Grady goal) so its was a familiar pattern to the back end of this season. Defend, defend, defend, zero shots, let alone on target and relying on another team to dig us out the shit.

Doesn't mean Bloom didn't OFFER him a mutual consent option.

"Surprised and disappointed" is quite strong from CH. I remember him saying the same when Calderwood unexpectedly jumped ship to Villa. He was seriously pissed off.
And yet you keep commenting on the new ones...
Another idiotic reply, GB.
I am trying to 'suggest' that we look forward and not backwards as it has , surely, all been said!
I think you are stalking and bullying me, and me a pensioner, as well; I am really scared!
That's cool. He didn't need to - I knew everything it says, anyway. (Nothing)

We’ll leave it there, as you’re being childish.

What is the obsession with ‘the target’? Many people at work have targets, meet them and can still be deemed to be performing poorly. Even if these other reasons / issues weren’t spelled out in the agreement or in the company policy etc. I could definitely deliver everything I’m asked and then get let go for the way I go about it.
If you hired a builder to do your extension, and he was well on track until Christmas, but then the last few months were a disaster, and the thing barely scraped over the line. Despite the work being done to time, budget and just about with the quality you agreed, you may still decide you don’t want him to do your loft conversion next year after all. The builder might be surprised, but he really shouldn’t be!
It’s really that simple. Whatever the reason, Tony and the decision makers feel the overall project had a better chance with The Doctor, so Chris was let go. It’s irrelevant whether he met the publicly-stated targets. I also suspect that at the moment it’s irrelevant what the football looks like, we need to survive, improve, progress.

Ok. Perhaps because he'd been given support publicly by the board leading up to the Man City game, perhaps because he was already preparing for a summer of recruitment, perhaps because he'd already started that by giving Bong a new contract, and perhaps because although he'd obviously felt under pressure during that last 5 months of disappointing results - he'd convinced himself that he'd made the case to Bloom/Barber for being given more time and a strengthened squad for 2019/20. He'd also met their target of keeping the club up.
Nobody is saying that Bloom didn't have a case for ending things (3 wins in 23 etc) but Hughton disappointed/surprised. Well yes. Weren't you ?

Classy as always. [MENTION=38177]Anya1000[/MENTION] will now be hugely disappointed too
Why? It doesn't relate to his own club's manager, Roy Hodgson. Not sure why he'd care.
