Mark Hudson sack 'harsh', claims pundit:



Pundits of ITV's Championship highlights show have given their tuppence worth on the decision to sack Mark Hudson.

Speaking after the decision was announced, former Norwich City, West Ham and England striker Dean Ashton said: "Five draws in six for Mark Hudson. A last-minute goal. Seconds away from getting three points, it feels like an easy get-out, a cheap get-out. Unless they've got someone lined up straight away, I don't get the decision.

"I know that dotted line (relegation) is scary, but they've not been on the worst run ever."

While ex-QPR man Jamie Mackie branded the decision to axe Hudson "harsh".

He said: "I think it's harsh. He got the job as a young, exciting coach coming through. They obviously saw that in him. Then to have that many draws, that could have been wins, they did well in the FA Cup against Leeds, then to get the sack. I don't know what's happening there under financial constraints.

"I think it's harsh."

Absolute nonsense.

Hudson wasn't appointed because he's an exciting up and coming young coach - he was appointed because he was cheap, available and too inexperienced to stand up to Tan.

These pundits have no idea - all they see are the highlights of our games. They can't know everything about every club in the division.

Yes some of those draws could have been wins but they could also have been losses which would have left us even more in the shit than we already are.

The issue isn’t so much the sacking. It’s the recruitment in tbr first place. We keep making the same mistakes. That’s the definition of madness.

Two people who haven't wacthed a full 90 minute game of our's this season.

Would attach no weight to their thoughts.
