Noelie 103 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 In retrospect; Wasn't Sir Bobby sacked after 4 games into the season. How does Hughton's 4 game start compare? If we had lost to Wigan that would have been 5 losses, 1 draw, 2 wins, and 3 of the losses would have been at home. Managers have been sacked with better records than that. Perhaps Colo possibly saved Hughton's job with his stoppage-time goal. Now we play the bottom team, I think a loss here will ripple some waters.

Perhaps Colo possibly saved Hughton's job with his stoppage-time goal. Now we play the bottom team, I think a loss here will ripple some waters. Lots of clubs sack managers after short bad runs and we have serial form for panic stricken decision making, doesn't make it right! The timing and the nature of dear old Bobby's departure was a shockingly bad piece of decision making - Doug Hall (his name rhymed with fuck all for a reason) - took the bow for that one I believe. Hughton still has a lot to prove after a great season last time out but I'm totally unconvinced that sacking him is the answer. One of the few real strengths we seem to have at the club is the team bond / spirit that Hughton has built in tandem with the players. Blowing that apart for someone else (and who ?) would seem to be a huge gamble. Newcastle cries out for stability and has huge inglorious form for hitting the panic button - the last thing we need right now is all change. Yes things could get worse lose the next two league games and CH may well not survive - I prefer to raise my half full glass to the do -able prospect of winning them both.

However, stability doesn't bring success in football, its success that brings stability. Lose games as a manager, and you are out. It may not be fair, and in Hughton's case it won't be because he's being forced to do the job with his hands tied but who said things are fair. He won't be on the breadline though.

I agree, sacking CH at the moment would achieve nowt, if we get to January however and are languishing in the bottom 3 then it has to be a consideration. Getting rid in February when any new bod wont have the luxury of buying (however little that may be) and selling to create their own escape route will see us in the same shameful state as two seasons ago.

Drifter 0 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 To sack another manager is absolutely clueless and i dont think that would happen...well not until at least January anyway. Personally, although i dont think CH was the man for us in the beginning he has and is doing as well as he can do with what he's got and little to spend. Apart from Perch and Best his dealings have been good, imparticular Tiote and Barfa. Gosling could turn out a decent signing too. I agree that the papers are just trying to pile pressure on us and stur shit. That said, CH HAS to change his approach and sharp. Two positions in which we were crying out for quality additions, granted he didn't spend massively on either player but they weren't worth a quarter of what he paid for them. I agree and i think its somewhere that we HAVE to invest in come january contrary to the "no new faces in january" statement. Thing is, can you name anyone of sufficient quality who could be available? Who would actually make a difference? Wayne Rooney is a top player looking for a new club ?

Guest Tuco Ramirez Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 You've had enough ITK for one week off me, but I've heard something today coming out of Herfordshire which I sincerely hope isn't true. Plans are afoot to get rid of Hughton in the very near future, I don't know anything more than that, but the source which I'm getting itsecond hand from insists it's 100% fact.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I wouldn't be pleased about Hughton going unless we got a top-class manager in to replace him, which most likely won't happen. Given how badly the owner has fucked up the removal and acquisition of managers during his short reign, I really fear for us if he intends to drop the axe on Chris now.
