Just to clarify for everyone who unreservedly believes HTT's fibs, Hughton only managed us for 16 league games last season.
Here's his actual record:
16 games
19 points
(Basically identical to our 'terrible current form' under Alan 'cannot cut the mustard' Pardew)
My bad.
Mind...
Pardew had 6 more games than Hughton last season and only managed 8 more points than Hughton did.
And as you correctly stated, in Pardew's last 16 games, he has only picked up 19 points, the same return you mock Hughton for. This with better players.
I never 'mocked' Hughton's points return. I didn't even want him to be sacked.
Do I think Pardew's an upgrade? Yes.
