what's the alternative though?

Peter Grant
Glenn Roeder
Bryan Gunn
??

Ok 4th time lucky Paul Lambert, but that's a lot of experimenting and gambling to suffer - I'd rather give Hughton (much less) time to get us going again tbh

        We didn't start great, got much much better, then tailed off (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 19:54:52

        at least now hughton finds himself in a similar position! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 20:06:29
        
        and if he can't (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 20:08:06
        
        changing the manager! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 20:13:22
        
        Not sure United and Fergie would agree with that (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 20:18:02
        
        he has the same resources as last season with more of his own signings (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 20:24:42
        
        get to a game sometime then you have a right to comment (n/m) (NCFC) - selwyn, Sep 30, 20:20:10

- shit username though (NCFC) - pants, Sep 30, 19:26:42
- Largely agree, and about raising capital through selling shares, an interesting suggestion (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 19:23:09
  - What I reckon.. (NCFC) - BorisJohnson, Sep 30, 19:38:51
    - That's probably why they say the football business model is broken (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 20:01:18
    - But that will never raise huge sums to buy more than 1 half decent player perhaps (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 19:51:42
      - ahem (n/m) (NCFC) - fareastcanary, Sep 30, 21:49:22
  - See people are quick to forget that (NCFC) - Cootahell, Sep 30, 19:28:00
    - Our current squad would run riot on the championship (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 19:32:05
      - nobody is asking to gamble our future (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 19:34:39
        
        and I hope Hughton finds that sooner rather than later (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 19:39:53
        
        keeping the management if in trouble at xmas also a gamble (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 19:41:58
        
        what's the alternative though? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 19:46:05
        
        if he can't get something going by xmas then he should go (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 19:59:06
        
        But we were not in a position in the past to land a so called proven manager (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 20:03:55
        
        hughton's record not that different to roeder (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 20:08:23
        
        But don't the Geordies think Roeder is a twat too? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 20:09:44
        
        i'm sure most people think he's a twat (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 20:15:16
        
        Agree totally, just look at Bryan Gunn (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 20:20:53
        
        but most managers have some form of past success (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 20:28:03
        
        Agree, no one is immune (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 30, 20:34:47
        
        nope the club is in great shape (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 20:41:06
