Because without three or four new players it will not matter who is in charge.
We now have the bare bones of a squad; we are having to play Academy youngsters who are not ready to play because there are no senior players left
If Murphy is holding back on signings because the plan was to get rid of Hughton all along, why has he waited so long?
If that was the plan, Murphy should follow him out of the door due to his gross incompetence.
We are now in a relegation fight because he has not done his job.
Hell of a lot of assumptions in there. First, Murphy's been here a month. If you want to lay the blame on those running the club, it needs to be placed on people that have been here a lot longer like Vrentzos and his merry band of screwups who were responsible for last summer's scattergun window. Second, we are not in a relegation fight because HE has not done his job. Was it him who let our two best LBs go and left us with Bong? That was done before he got here. Was it him who signed dross like Jenkinson a few years back leaving us no option but to play kids there? It is decisions like these that have left the club in a relegation scrap and yet you want to blame it on a guy who has been here 4 weeks. Third, you accused Murphy of holding back on signings so he could sack Hughton. I would call that irresponsible, ridiculous and without anything based in facts but that would only scratch the surface.
With all the accusations you've thrown around, you've left Hughton off the hook. Sorry, but he needs to bear a big part of the blame.
