Mike Ashley once again getting impaitent. Still surprising after some good results, I mean what do you expect after a promotion surely your first priority is surviving relegation not getting a european place.

Terrible decision.
However, Martin O'Neill would be interesting.

Martin O' Neill wouldn't stand for the crap Hughton's had to put up with.
Shameful decision.

O'Neill won't go as Newcastle dont have the money (for transfers). They've said they want a manager which they don't want to pay compensation for, Alan Pardew is the bookies favourite.

It's a disgrace, to be honest. I don't know where the Board of Directors seriously think they should be right now? They are a newly promoted team comming out of a crisis, and they are sitting comfortable in 11th right now. They smashed the derby 5-1, beat Arsenal Away and held the Champions the other week.
What else could you ask for right now? It looks like they have somebody already lined up, and they've literally been waiting for one bad run or result to give them the opportunity to sack Hughton. Just when things finally seem to be looking alright for them Ashley has to f*ck it up again.

Martin Jol has left Ajax tonight (Might just be Ajax are doing rubbish atm), I remember he kicked up a fuss after not been able to go to Fulham in the summer. Honestly dont think he'll go to Newcastle though.

ing disgraceful decision by the club, totally unwarranted. We beat Sunderland 5-1, and Arsenal 1-0 away the next week, what more does Ashley want? We've just came up from the Championship and have had no major changes to the squad, because of the lack of funds. Does Ashley think Hughton can magic up money from nowhere? Plus, we've been struck with injuries to Ben Arfa, Barton, Taylor etc. I wouldn't say we're in danger at the moment, but sacking Chris certainly didnt help. We were just getting a bit of stability into the club, at long last. As for a replacement, Pardew and Curbishley? What the very ? For a start, if we want stability, why get Pardew? He jumps ship quicker than Keegan. As for Curbishley, he's not managed a team for a good 2-3 year now. Don't get me wrong, I quite like Curbishley, I think he's a good man manager and certainly has the stats to prove he can be successful, I just don't think he's the right man for the job. I heard O'Neill mentioned a few times but I'd very much doubt that. Especially since he left Villa for lack of funds, I can't see him coming to us. I'd love O'Neill to come, one of the best managers in Britain IMO, but I'm not building my hopes us. I'd also quite like Martin Jol, but as Peter said, I doubt we'd pull that one off. Would just like to say thank you to Hughton, not that he'll be reading this but, you know. He did his upmost best for us over the year and with very limited resources. Cheers, Chris. |

What a joke, he was doing a good job, they had good team spirit. Wonder if there is a bigger story.

Ashley was just looking for any excuse to sack him from the moment they got promoted because Newcastle are such a "big club" and should have an amazing manager. I'll get totaly ripped into or this, but Ashley has turned Newcastle into a farce of a club. No way did Chris Hughton deserve that. Such a disgrace. I'd encourage them to take Joe Kinnear back for his press conferences alone, but my money is on Jol or Curbs. Frank Rijkaard would be worth a shout at 12/1 and I wouldn't be surprised if Shearer put his name in the hat once more. Big name, that's what they'll be looking for, managerial ability won't matter. Also Ste, I'm looking for the quote when you said we could take Hughton after Coyle left  |

I just can't believe Ashley, who built up his fortune himself, could be so stupid with an investment. I think Ashley wanted him out anyway so it was best to do it now before a new deal, therefore he wouldn't have to pay a large amount of compensation to Chris etc. I just think Chris has been treated very badly by the club and Ashley in particular, doesn't deserve it what so ever.
