Wrath Sabbatical

I'm not much of an active poster but I'm an avid lurker. This site has recently descended into something I'm embarrassed to read and despite my best efforts to take it all with a pinch of salt and call it jovial passion, I'm finding myself annoyed by it so I'm having a break. I find that sad as this is meant to be the sensible person's forum.

No doubt I'll get abuse for this but having Hughton as a manager is good for the club.

It seems like the majority want him out asap... but then what!? I can't think of any available experienced manager out there who we would genuinely be happy with. What do we realistically expect?? Like it or not in the PL we're in a perpetual battle for mid-table and I personally don't doubt that at the end of the season that's where we'll be under Hughton.

As annoying as it was not to win the must-win game on Saturday, it was one of the best performances I have witnessed for years. We bossed it against a better team (because apparently akin with Wrath logic being higher in the league obviously makes them a better team). To hear a 'fan' a couple of rows ahead booing wound me up so much I wanted to headbutt the old goat. The same happened at Watford, when anyone who was actually there rather than moaning about the lack of a stream, should have seen that we dominated that too... but in that case we eventually got the reward. We played really well against Arsenal and Chelsea and there has definitely been a marked improvement recently. We're a better team than when we had Lambert as manager and the vast majority of our best players have been signed by Hughton. When you look at our bench on Saturday it was impressive and we haven't been able to say that for years, if ever! Altghough the points don't reflect it yet we are a club on the up and Hughton is the perfect manager to begin a legacy with.

Talk to any Chelsea, Arsenal or Cardiff fan, any opposition manager, and basically anyone without the emotional affiliation and you will hear that Hughton is a good manager for us. It's not because he is a nice guy, it is because he is unilaterally respected and that doesn't come for nothing. How many of you actually believe that the players want him gone?

Obviously it's not ideal that results are going against us (and that away games are pretty dull) but sit back and think what good sacking him would actually do.

Cue the onslaught and the comments about how terrible it is that we lost away at Old Trafford with a B+ team in a pointless game... I don't even care and won't attempt to object as I won't be reading it.
