First of all, I would hardly say he’s unpopular – he’s done brilliantly to get a club in a horrible downward spiral to leaders.
and secondly, how the hell can Peterbrough sack Fergie after leading them to back to back promotions, 2 years ago they were rotting away in league 2 now look at them, fair enough they’re bottom but still, done a great job getting them there

Err !what exactly is it you are trying to say, either you hate Hughton or you dont ?
If you do hate him is it because of footballing decisions ? hmmm!
You mentioned Curbishley & Coppell, doubt those names will inspire many fans, it`s Shearer they want. (difficult to explain in a logical manner
something to do with the Geordie nation,messianism and provincialism with a dash of racism)
I blame it on Cockeys (mostly fat ones) the southern press and errr,………

The fact is BBM – he has galvanised the squad with a determination that has been missing ever since KKs walk out. The players, staff and CH deserve massive credit.

Irrespective of your thoughts – because his surname isnt Keegan – he has done a fine job this season – and deserves a round of applause – even some of the games we drew or lost we were by far the better team.

I don’t think I’ve heard one person imply they didn’t like Hughton. So I don’t think he’s unpopular. I just think the nature of his appointment was a little protracted and unnecessary. That in itself made the appointment unpopular, rather than being about the man. Being apprehensive about the man’s abilities doesn’t mean you don’t have regard for him, particularly the insularity implications worky, not sure I agree with those mate. Though it was effective like you say…..

By backing i meant the team-as i said we`r stuck with Hughton-like it or not,i don`t believe Hughton has done a brilliant job other than bonding the team together and how much of that was HIS doing,some of his decisions have been baffling to say the least-not least,such as his insistence on playing Harwood instead of Ranger who looks head and shoulders above Harwood.I would point out that by “WE” you should not include ALL “FANS” as i do not chuck my teddy out at the first opportunity,i hope that i am more intelligent than that and deem myself to be a FOOTBALL SUPPORTER and a passionate Toon fan,i don`t hate anybody(though ashley comes close) and i don`t yell for sackings at the drop of a hat-we`v got Hughton-get used to it…..i didn`t want him but nor do i think Shearer is the new `messiah`Steve Coppell?Alan Curbishley ? better short turn prospects in my opinion(we don`t live in north Korea and i believe i am entitled to an opinion)So to sum up-please workyticket and nufcbb don`t tell me what i do because YOU DON`T HAVE THAT RIGHT.Hope you enjoy the rest of the season and take care,
Alan…

Hughton has done a brilliant job, and maybe, just maybe, he could actually blossom into a cracking manager.

He needs a chance and some time. The only things which will hinder him are the pricks in charge of the club.

We’re looking good at the moment, hopefully we can keep it up.

"Surely that was sarcasm Alan? You can’t possibly be serious there! We’re always shouting for managers to be sacked like big kids who are sick of their toy at Christmas, it’s what we do." My jaw dropped a little when I read that too, nufcbb.

“we`ll back him because that`s what we do at the TOON”

Surely that was sarcasm Alan? You can’t possibly be serious there! We’re always shouting for managers to be sacked like big kids who are sick of their toy at Christmas, it’s what we do.

After looking at some of the responses above i would like to say that i personally did not want Hughton as manager but hate him??????? i have not heard one single person say they hate him at a match-not one.Hughton is a nice bloke who is out of his depth but i would give my right arm to be in his position at this moment-nothing to lose but all to gain.I for one say give him his chance-he`s here whether we like it or not-we`ll back him because that`s what we do at the TOON,as for Ferguson,he dosnt seem an arrogant cock like his dad-good luck to him but time will tell…Keep the faith…
