Yes they were dark days under Hughton.What about the dark days under Hughton or does that not count?
I appreciate he spends money but I can also criticise how poorly he spends it.
I cannot remember one discerning voice when he was appointed though. In fact everyone was excited that we had employed a manager who had taken his last 2 clubs to the EPL.
He gave him the COVID season - which was understandable due to the circumstances - and then started with him for the first few matches of the following season.
A lot of people would argue that 6 matches was not long enough to judge whether to sack Hughton or not. He made the decision sack him and take a risk on a comparative unknown. No one on here or anywhere else knew how SC would perform. EM took the gamble and won. But it wasn't him it was Murphy, remind me, who appointed Murphy?
EM gave SC every opportunity to succeed this season, more money & more players. Unfortunately it didn't work our and we actually went backwards.
Last season we beat the 3 relegated clubs at home.
This season we have won 1 and drawn 2 - against 3 worse teams.
That is why he had to be replaced
