Hughton Follows Bill Shankly's Theory!
Liverpool legend Bill Shankly said in 1970: "Being a top manager is all about keeping eleven players happy - not those in the first team - those in the reserves". And Chris Hughton is experiencing that problem (if you can call it a problem) at the moment. The very fact that players of such quality as Sol Campbell, Steven Taylor, Wayne Routledge, Peter Lovenkrands, Alan Smith and Danny Guthrie and Ryan Taylor ... are desperate to get into the side ... it is a tough job being the manager. Chris Hughton: “It’s part of the job. “You have a squad, and you want everyone to be available. “You can only pick 11 players, and seven substitutes. “One thing that always happens is that opportunities come round for players – at some stage, they’ll come in for somebody else. That’s always the case. “It shows where we are at the moment, but opportunities will come for Danny Guthrie and Ryan Taylor.”
