Did Ashley sack Hughton in order to sell the club?

He sacked Hughton because he thinks it's the right thing to do to protect his investment. He won't give a toss about anything else. Hughton did a good job for Ashley in the Championship but Ashley doesn't think he's got what it takes at this level. Simple as.

What benefit would there be to sacking Hughton before a take over?

 

His contract is up shortly, anyway. Sacking him could be done at any time with minimal cost implications.

 

No actual gains to doing it now but it does create a whole shit storm of problems.

 

Crap thread.

Silly thread.

 

Surely a reasonable popular, sensible (from a PR perspective) and very cheap manager would be seen as a positive if you were about to flog the club.

 

A more expensive, less popular or worse in front of the cameras manager would create a cost for any buyer straight away.

This.

 

Why would Ashley have to appoint the new guy before the takeover could be completed? That's just ridiculous, and Hughton was on peanuts with only 6 months of his contract to run.

Sadly not.

 

Surely the 'new owners' would of came in first, asessed the situation, then sacked him if needs be.

 

But there was nothing really to fix, yesterday we struggled (apart from if the players already knew) because we had 2 key suspensions and another 2 injuries, yet he's sacked.

 

It doesn't make sense atm, but i bet it will when Pardew or someone rolls in.
