If hughton turned bong around we may aswel call him Jesus.
Apparently hughton has turned down a few jobs over the past 6 months.. sorry I'm paraphrasing but my dad said he heard someone that was close to hughton talking in talksport this evening. The fella wouldn't mention which clubs had approached hughton. The presenter guessed ' Bristol city' the fella replied ' clubs much bigger than that'

Anyone subscribe? theathletic.co.uk/2094888/2020/10/06/nottingham-forest-sabri-lamouchi-evangelos-marinakis-sacked/Sabri Lamouchi should probably have known he was vulnerable after the Zoom call that Nottingham Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, had arranged with the players ahead of the new season. It was September 8 when the players logged on to find out what Marinakis wanted to say. The season was just a few days away and, as they waited for Marinakis to appear on screen, the expectation was that the Greek oligarch wanted to give them a few words of support. Yet what they heard that day made it absolutely clear that Lamouchi — sacked today after losing every game so far this season — was under considerable pressure and that Marinakis’ patience was wearing thin, to say the least. Marinakis was angry. A few days earlier, Forest had gone out of the EFL Cup with a vapid 1-0 defeat at Barnsley. It brought back unhappy memories for Lamouchi and his players. They had lost at Barnsley, then bottom of the Championship, during the spectacular collapse... |

Points to this article but lays bare in the responses how amateurish and toxic things are behind the scenes. Awful atmosphere and morale of everyone is in the ground. Ambitious but amateurish seems to sum it up. |

Aside from any other problems, morale's never going to be great when the turnover of players is always so high. Imagine turning up for pre-season training to find you don't even recognise half half the squad and some of your mates are now loaned/frozen out and don't even have squad numbers. Then the same thing happens next season. And the next. And the next.....
Anyway, Chris Hughton then. I'm happy enough with that. I turned on Sky Sports News yesterday and just saw ..."replacing Sabri Lamouchi" go past on the scrolling bar at the bottom, had to wait for it to come round again to find out who it was. I was prepared for some random goon I'd never heard of so Hughton came as a huge relief. Hopefully the first thing he'll do is address the size of the squad and disastrous, yet continuous, transfer policy. Clearly nobody else is going to deal with it so it's down to him and until someone addresses this anything else just seems irrelevant.

BHAFC fan here : Your club could not have landed a better manager in Chrissy Hughton too take you forward with potential promotion too the Premier league , many of us Albion fans were gutted when he was sacked . The only negative about him I could say is that he is very defense minded sometimes but don’t let that worry u too much he will get u up more than anybody else top bloke good luck for the season.

Cheers for the feedback. Was he as defensive when you were in the championship? Or was it just a consequence of coming up against better sides in the Premier league? |

Hi mate too tell you the truth we were a lo more offensive in the championship and we’re winning games for fun . And yes got too the prem against better opposition and he basically had us just defending most of the time but too be fair he kept us up but it was so boring too watch . He will get you up I’m sure good luck .

Most optimistic (trying not to confuse this with excited) that I've felt for years and years. I might even renew my season card... I'll certainly pay the £10 to watch the Blackburn game

I've given this news time to digest and I'm quite upbeat. Obviously, the shit show going on behind the scenes needs to be addressed, but no one is really sure what that will take except the staff at the club's highest level.
We'll have to see how Hughton gets the team playing, but I fucking hope it isn't with one player up front.

I don't mind 1 upfront, as long as others are able to get up and around him so he doesn't get isolated. Starting with 3 defensively minded midfielders as we have done just leaves the frontman alone and we never look like creating chances. Most sides play with 1 upfront nowadays, not saying we have to but it just about the mindset of the team shifting to being more attacking and committing men forwards.

As most teams play a 5 man midfield, 4-4-2 would leave us a man short in midfield. 4-1-4-1 would suit, with two good wingers, and two more midfielders supporting the striker. Hughton has been known to favour 4-3-3 in the past. I can't wait for the Blackburn game. It's the first time in ages I've been looking forward to a Forest game. |
