Bad timing.
I also expect it's not as simple as being sacked. I imagine there was some sticking point with contract negotiations, too.
In terms of results, I think Hughton could have done better, particularly against the smaller clubs. However, in terms of morale I think this is going to be disastrous.
Hope to fuck they sort it out PDQ.
Cheers Chris, got things done with minimal fuss. Top bloke.
