SA.
For the 22 league games he has been in charge this year, with a transfer window, his win percentage is 36%, my question was how far have we come?
I don’t think 36% will get us promoted next season if you compare it with teams at the top of the table we really need a good transfer window as we have stood still for long enough.
Sure, so 36% is a lot better than 0%. A 36% increase you might say...
I'm confused though you're suggesting we need a good transfer window but also insinuating you'd perhaps like yet another change in manager. That would not only be standing still, it would be going backwards.
I feel like this is the same pointless debate every time we go on a remotely bad run. I'm just going to repeat the same stats over and over.
We can't compete due to parachute payments so we're always going to struggle. The only way to succeed in that scenario is a slow build with a good crop of young players at the same time. I feel like people want that but then they also want to sack CH and bring in Mourinho.
For once let's go into a season with some positivity even if it's slightly fake. Accept we're not a promotion team because we don't have the budget so let's do a slow build and back a manager and be as supportive as possible so the owner doesn't have any more ammunition to make a change.
I’ve been a big supporter of ch since day one and if you read my previous posts you would see that I still am. I’m sorry that you are reading something into the above comments that doesn’t exist, I was just stating facts and asking how far we have come.
It’s no coincidence that two of the promoted teams were the ones relegated last season, and I expect the newly relegated teams from the premiership will be up there next season and realistically leaving all other clubs fighting for reduced promotion spots., maybe even only one.
That doesn’t mean that I want a change of manager as I believe that Ch has the potential to take us upwards and onwards , but I don’t think he will achieve our owners expectations which, I’m guessing is promotion and no excuses and in the 21-22 season.
It’s ok having positivity but temper it with realism. We are not a promotion team, we won’t be next season and then our owner would have run out of patience and the whole cycle will start all over again.
A good transfer window may improve us somewhat but will only delay the inevitable demise of possibly the best manager we’ve had for a while.
Hopefully that removes your confusion.
Ha that's almost exactly what I said! Apologies, 'the let's sack every manager that doesn't get us top of the league whilst scoring 4 a game' group are out in Full force, just misread that wasn't you above.
Sorry, been getting pretty frustrated reading about people wanting to sack yet another manager. It's exhausting.
I don’t think anyone is asking for top of the league or 4 goals a game, unless I’ve missed some posts by PSS :) As I’ve said before, equating criticism of Hughton to that, or to wanting every manager sacked isn’t fair to the posters. You each have your say and at the end of the day you might just agree to disagree. We still all want them to win come 3 o clock.
It shouldn’t be exhausting mate, it really is ok for people to have different opinions!
