Haha, Newcastle have parted ways with Hughton. What a poor time in the season to do it. I mean yeah, fair enough change the manager at the end of the season if you want to move forward and push on but not in the middle.

Thats incredible! Whats the reasoning behind it, any idea? I thought he was doing rather well..........
Adam
CP
Hodgeson next hopefully...
Well from I gather, Mike Ashley wants to move the club forward...how sacking Hughton does this mid-season though I'll never know.
What, you want Roy sacked? Personally I can't help but feel sorry for the guy. After all, he inherited Rafa's ruins. I say give the fella a chance and I reckon he'd have a good team within a season or two.Quote:

His replacement is??
Hes more interested in making friends who tell him how nice a person he is and then go on to talk about wine... and its pretty much the same team that rafa got to eh CL finals and finished 2nd the prem, uncle woy has made some really poor purchases in Paul i cant run Konchesky and Christain what am i doing here Poulsen...Quote:

I wouldnt be suprised if we had a new man in before January, as new owners would you entrust your $$$ in somone who has failed the past 6 months and previous buying record is filled with donkeys and old mates from previous clubs?
King Kenny all the way :)
The Alonso situation was the beggining of Rafas downfall, he was one of the keys to the brilliant squad we had. Masch became dispondant with the ower situation and had alot or admeration for Rafa.
If the owers were not acouple of complete cowboys rafa would be in place and number 19 would be in the cabinet, of that im positive
Hughton being sacked actually makes good sense.
It gives the new boss 3-4 games to have a look at the squad, before the January window opens....
Then, you'd hope (as a Toon) that the new man gets plenty of cash to spend on bringing in "his" players, thus cataputling Newcastle into mid-table mediocrity, and not a relegation dogfight. Which, in this correspondant's opinion,, is where they were headed!
As for my boys....QPR are TOP of the League by 4 points AND a game in hand!
Up the Rrrrrrrr'ssss!!!
*EDIT*
As for Liverpool, I think that Hodgson should be given at least a full season. The man CAN manage, and I think that Liverpool will be there or thereabouts for a top 6 place, come the end of the season. Mind you....what do I care? I'm still pi**ed at them for pipping us to the League Championship in 75-76 season. WE could have been the dominant force in English football!!! Bleeding Toshack and Keegan scoring against Wolves in the last 15 mins....GRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
Fair point aerospacemango. I still think they'll make a hash out of it. I can't see Mike Ashley letting them splurge cash all over the place.
And are you really that old, 75-76? QPR dominant force in English football?
I'm really starting to fall out love with the game.
I'm not a Newcastle fan but I think this is an utter disgrace.
Newcastle make me laugh, will be funny if they go down again.
Indeed, then they'll be the yo-yo team of the North East.Quote:

Nurse, nurse....Do you have my pills ready? The madness has crept up on me again!!!!
