TRon Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hughton has won me over... I'd have to say me too tbh. He's old school football, keep things quiet and in house. Don't demolish your players to the media etc. Watching Xisco play yesterday just made me think his approach is paying dividends. Nice stable season under Hughton would do us well and hopefully set the tone for nice steady progression, assuming Tiote (sp)m isn't the start and end of the investment. I'd like to see him phase in Vuckic more and more as the season progresses, sounds like we're gonna need to start playing the lad sooner rather than later or risk pissing him off. If we aren't getting Ben Arfa it would make more sense to start using Vukic rather than bring in yet another target man. Andy Carroll couldn't get a sniff while Viduka and Ameobi were in the front line but look how he's blossomed given the chance. Maybe Vukic could take his chance when it comes?

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 tbh We were playing 4-4-2 yesterday a lot of the time, Nolan becoming more and more advanced alongside Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 tbh We were playing 4-4-2 yesterday a lot of the time, Nolan becoming more and more advanced alongside Carroll. I saw this as well, with Carroll playing at the back post. I think it just looks like a 4-5-1 because Nolan is slow... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Never been his biggest fan, but also I wasn't one of those doom mongers Jon was referring to. He was excellent yesterday, got everything spot on, can't fault him at all. But to be fair, he's been bloody good for a long time now, I think he really grew into the manager's role around christmas time, long may it continue. Still the most boring interviewee in the world though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 A win against Wolves and Hughton should be manager of the month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Only manager since SBR I've any time for, tbh. This. Sort of. I had moments with Roeder and Keegan is a no comment. But I can't help but like Hughton, you know his hearts in the right place. I still find it mental that guy on the headset at Spurs is now our manager.

Dave Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Chris-Hughton-s-Newcastle-future-in-doubt-as-contract-talks-stall-Exclusive-article562921.html Hughton's Newcastle future in doubt as contract talks stall - Exclusive Chris Hughton faces an uncertain future at Newcastle - despite steering the club back into the big time. The former Spurs and Republic of Ireland assistant coach has excelled in the manager's chair at St James' Park following their relegation at the end of the 2008/9 season. Having bounced back at the first attempt, Hughton has also maintained the feel-good factor with the club's stunning 6-0 demolition of Aston Villa - the Magpies' biggest Premier League win for 11 years. Mirror Sport understands, however, that 51-year-old Hughton's current Newcastle deal runs only until the end of this current season. Talks have already taken place over new deal but the two parties have failed to agree terms with the offer to Hughton believed to be unsatisfactory. Newcastle have yet to come back with an improved offer since taking their original package off the table. It means Hughton's contract is set to run out at the end of this season. It also means, despite turning around a club that was on its knees last season, Hughton's job could yet be up for grabs at the end of the current campaign should the current owners - or new owners if they decide to sell - go for a bigger name. The London-born Irishman smashed his way back into the Premier League this summer by winning the Championship with Newcastle with 102 points and 90 goals. The club had previously been left in turmoil following it's plunge through the relegation trapdoor with Alan Shearer at the helm. Newcastle's return to the top flight is worth a minimum extra £30million a year for the club. Yet Hughton's biggest signings have arguably been those of Sol Campbell on a free and former Everton starlet Dan Gosling, also on a Bosman because of an administrative error. No one from Newcastle was available for comment. Owt to be worried about? The bit in bold made me laugh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Would be a new low if we couldn't afford Hughton's wage demands. Anyway, we'd be daft to give him a new contract yet in any case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Why would it be daft to offer him a new contract if his current deal expires at the end of the season? It would be pretty daft to wait until the end of year, especially if we stay up or have an unexpectedly good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's not exactly getting head hunted by Barca at the moment, but if he wins the Championship and keeps us up this season, he ends up in a really strong bargaining position in the summer. And it wouldn't be inconceivable that other teams might be interested, especially if he's out of contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
