supermacs lost it a bit here saying on the carling cup loss

“It wasn’t a team sheet, it was a resignation letter. It was sheer madness and I’m still trying to make sense of it,” said Macdonald after the 4-0 fourth round defeat.

Made some cracking signings to be fair. A lot of crap but think that had a lot to do with just bringing in a reserve side because we had a first team squad but nothing beneath it, one of the reasons we lost Guppy and Huckerby and why Carrick didn't join as a kid.

The first mention of Hughton's job being in any danger was by The Mail who have an axe to grind due to being banned from St. James' Park. All the other media run with it. I've never heard any fan saying Hughton should get the sack. Most of us are realistic. The home form hasn't been good but the away form has been. As for the cup, Arsenal beat Tottenham 4 - 0 and I'd argue Tottenham put a stronger side out than Newcastle did. I don't remember the media saying Redknapp will be sacked.

Newcastle skipper Kevin Nolan is certain the future is bright with Hughton at the helm. “No matter what happens on Sunday we are going to still be 110 per cent behind Chris,” Nolan said. “No matter what we want to see Chris Hughton in charge of us. We are going in the right way with him in charge of us.

“We don’t care what anyone else says outside. As a group of players, as a staff and I believe as fans too we believe we are going in the right direction and the main focal point and the main leader in that is Chris Hughton.”

 

From the Telegraph. If the lads are truly behind Hughton, and I am 100% certain they are, they'll prove it on the pitch today.

Massive day for Hughton today, has the potential to shape his & our season. :nods:

 

The game today is too big to lose, Sunderland will not be playing tha same team that has struggled at times against Blackpool and Stoke when I think we took the opposition too lightly.

The best thing for him to do is shut the fuck up.

Chris Hughton: My debt to Toon Army

Oct 31 2010 by Mark Douglas, Sunday Sun

 

CHRIS HUGHTON has thanked Newcastle United fans for sticking by him during a tough fortnight – and pledged to do everything he can to wrestle back 'top dog' status with a victory over North East arch- rivals Sunderland today.

 

 

While speculation about his position refuses to die - and won't until Newcastle offer him the long-term deal he deserves - he has been delighted by the reaction of the Toon Army to the rumours.

 

The vast majority are backing him and the players, and that has only strengthened the squad's resolve ahead of today's big game.

 

"As a manager it is nice and important that you've got the support of the fans. I have been delighted by some of the things that have been said to me," Hughton said.

 

"I think you can take me out of it. They see a team - of which the manager is part - that is currently sitting ninth in the league and I'm very grateful to them. They also realise we've gone through difficult times and we're in a different place.

 

"It would be a great way to reward them. No matter what had happened this week, it's a big game - a game you want to win for the supporters.

 

"You always want to have the bragging rights. We know they've been more prominent in the last year or so because they've been the club in the Premier League, but we're endeavouring to get back up to regions of the division where we want to be.

 

"This game would be a good place to start."

 

Meanwhile, Hughton has confirmed that his number two will be an external appointment.

 

Reserve coach Steve Stone will be by his side today, while Peter Beardsley has also been linked with the job. But Hughton wants someone from outside with the club with more experience.

 

After being turned down by Steve Clarke - revealed by the Sunday Sun last week as his number one target - Hughton has drawn up a short-list that includes Spurs coach Clive Allen and Faroe Islands boss Brian Kerr.

 

But the fact Hughton is yet to sign a long-term deal is understood to be putting off many candidates.

 

"The strong likelihood is it will be external. We're going through the process and doing our homework at the moment," he said.

Would be surprised if Allen left Spurs or Kerr packed in a managers job to be Hughton's number two. :undecided:
