Josh McDaniels and Chris Hughton sacked on the same day. Weird.

 

Although not as out of the blue as Hughton, I still didn't really expect it - especially with the American sports landscape and how much time managers/coaches usually get because there is no relegation.

Up against it from the outset due to the Cutler and Marshall drama. Hillis excelling in Cleveland didn't help too. Sucks.

Even Rioferdy is angered:

 

"Chris Hughton at Newcastle: steadied the ship. got them out of the Championship into the PL. they are 11th and doing well. Helped get Carroll an England cap+Barton playing well. Team spirit. Deserves the sack after that list?!"

The sort of over reaction is this thread is ridiculous. Wanting someone to have a heart attack, not supporting the new manager without knowing who it is....etc. Yes Hughton was a nice guy and we owe him for getting us out of the championship, but I'll wait to see who we appoint before creating drama. The decision to sack was perhaps premature, in an ideal world Chris would have been given till Jan to turn things around. But with the matches coming up, the players looking disinterested, my prediction is that he would not have succeeded anyway.

Goes along with what Golfmag said, goes along with the fact this is clearly not based on results, sounds about right.

There's possibly a reason they looked disinterested. A Hughton-based reason.

 

If we go by Campbell's quotes, the players got the news after and not before the game. Nobody knows for sure what happened with the West Brom game, but not only were the performance bad (both tactically and individual application), crucially gone were the spirit and fight that was shown against Chelsea.

That's disheartening - as I read the article I was thinking it must be tabloid shit and that surely it can't be as bad as the Mirror painted the situation :(

 

I feel like I've been smacked with a wet fish, waking up to this news totally stunned me.

 

This is worse than getting pasted in the cricket - at least that was expected...
