Isegrim 8941 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 That's the club off the market then... But hey, he is doing such a good job. Imagine we could also have lost against the likes of QPR and Bristol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26793 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Tbf not a whole lot is going to change. He's already been told that he'll have absolutely no control over transfers, which is a given seeing that we're spending fuck all in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I can see him appointing Hughton tomorrow and then selling the club the day afterwards only to get one over Moat (+ Shearer) or whoever is the buyer then. He and Lambiarse are probably already chuckling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13915 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 It's almost like he's approached Hughton just before the wheels properly come off so he can have an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 This guarantees three things IMO 1. the club will not be sold 2. there will be no new signings this season (barring the odd shitty loan player) 3. if we do somehow manage to get promoted we will come straight back down next season. Terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I don't think the wheels are about to come off like. And I think Hughton's done well, obviously. Fucking much better than about 99% of people expected in any case. It's more the way it suggests Ashley is hanging around a bit longer at least. I was thinking about it and it would be better for the club if we didn't go up this season if he still owns the club. That's counter-intuitive for me, as a fan. But I just can't see him going any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 87 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Kind of understand where you are coming from but, really we need investment. He definitely will not give it, nor ( probably) will moat. i reckon his consortium is a farce. the only way anything will change is if we get promoted. hopefully Ashley will sell. then fuck off. if not i can see us yoyo-ing between championship and premiership. or worse than that, fading into mid table championship obscurity.

NJS 4002 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If we do get promoted this year and the twat gets his extra money in a sale then I'll bet it will be August before it happens and the new owners will have no time to get a manager or build a squad. We're fucked basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S'pose only time will tell. That's why I think it might be better not to go up. I.e. the prospect of two seasons + out the Prem might see him cut his losses. If we go up, he can either sell for more (certainly more than he could get now) and make money if we yo-yo with the costs cut. Hopefully he'll get hit by bus or something.

S'pose only time will tell. He's already said he reckons the club will be worth £150m if we go up. The man is completely fucking clueless, we'd need at least £50m to invest in the squad to have a proper go in the PL. Ashley ain't gonna provide it and there's not going to be any white knight riding onto the scene prepared to throw £200m at the club next summer.

Acid 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If nobodys come running to buy us now, with a lower wage bill and top of the league, I can't seriously see anyone meeting ashleys inflated price if we got promoted. Everyone knows we would need obscene levels of investment just to survive. It's all getting really serious shit style long term depressing now. I am down to my last chaff from my last straw and only hope this is somehow his last bluff with Moats consortium. The fact this seems to be on hold for two weeks is very slim almost annorexic hope. Where is Accaspaca when you need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 It was what we've expected all along, don't really see what difference making Chris the permanent manager will do though. Ashley's unrealistic valuation of the club both now or during time in the Prem just proves to me that we're never going to get out of this sorry state, all because the fat man's a clueless cunt. Fucking fat charver bastard, I hope something nasty befalls him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't have said it better. Appointing Hughton full time means relitively little. He wouldn't remain manager should we ever be taken over (you'd expect).

I know it's a very childish thing to say, but no one in football has ever looked more like a rat than Hughton, nothing against him cos he seems a canny bloke, he just looks like Splinter.

snakehips 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Does it really mean that much in the grand scheme of things? Noone wants to buy the club, so why not give Hughton the job? I don't suppose there's anything in Football League rules which says we must have a manager, which could explain this move by LardAsh? Anyone know? And something tells me there will be watertight clauses telling Hughton that if he does a shit job he's out on his ear without any great compensation - of that I am absolutely certain.
