Kevin 1 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 According to highly reliable sources (Skirge off NO), allegedly Nolan and Hughton had it off after the Bolton game, and then later in the week Barton allegedly had it off with Guthrie on the indoor training ground (thus it didn't make the papers). Allegedly Nolan and Barton were kept out of the team because of this, with 'injurys' being cited as the reason but allegedly that was a cover up. It would not surprise me if some kind of fracas had played a part in this latest escapade simply because we have so many players who have a history of bad behavior and are well capable of having it off at a moment's notice - Carroll, Barton, Guthrie, Nolan and S.Taylor being the worst culprits. Having it off? Do you really have to phrase it that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fucking wonder we've won absolutely nothing since his days. It's the 10th managerial change since Souness was sacked and the 7th since Ashley bought the club! Ludicrous.

Also when you think how much turmoil there's been at the club over the years I think that Allardyce and Keegan are the shortest managerial tenures in the history of the club. I know Allardyce was at the time of his sacking and KK may have been even shorter in terms of actual games in charge.

Sonatine 11278 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 REVEALED: Why Hughton got the Newcastle bullet Published 23:00 06/12/10 By Simon Bird * * Recommend Chris-Hughton-sacked Chris Hughton's crazy world as Newcastle boss can today be revealed – including being forced to battle owner Mike Ashley in fantasy football results. Hughton had spent the last three months on the verge of being axed by managing director Derek Llambias and Ashley – because they want a manager who is more “showbusiness” and can grab the club headlines on the world stage. The ex-Tottenham coach kept a dignified calm in public, but was constantly fighting confrontation behind the scenes that could put Newcastle’s pursuit of a major managerial figure in jeopardy. •Hughton was required to submit a list of predictions for future games and discuss them with the United chiefs... whose own fantasy football guesswork has forecast that the Geordies will finish in 11th place this season. •Sources close to the Hughton camp have let slip that he had a furious bust-up with the top brass immediately AFTER beating Sunderland 5-1 in the club’s greatest derby triumph in living memory. What should have been a night of unbridled celebration was soured for Hughton because he was accused of milking the crowd as the Toon Army chanted his name. •Hughton was expected to hold meetings with Ashley and Llambias just before games, and respect their footballing input. Former boss Kevin Keegan routinely ignored such interference so close to a match but Hughton, in a bid to keep the peace, always made himself available. There is no suggestion he took any notice of the feedback he was given, but Ashley and Llambias regard themselves as knowledgeable football fans, whose opinion is valid on even small tactical matters. •Hughton was also furious that his close relationship with senior players, treating them as human beings with opinions rather than schoolchildren, ended up being perceived as a weakness and an example of ‘bowing to player power’. He angrily denied such charges last Friday. Hughton was sacked at 2pm yesterday after being summoned to St James’ Park. The timing has been widely condemned with the Magpies five points clear of the drop zone in 11th. But they are on a five-game run without a victory, with only two points from the last 15. Hughton had been effectively ‘on trial’ since September and needed to prove himself as a top- flight boss, despite his obvious heroics in taking Newcastle from the wreckage of relegation, and knitting together a strong team- spirit that clinched promotion in style. Ashley and Llambias were adamant that Hughton would not be getting a new, big-money contract extension. The big reason cited behind the scenes is that they want a boss who can attract the Sky cameras to St James’ more often, at almost £500,00 per televised match. While Hughton’s measured exterior was just what the club needed to calm the chaos of the relegation season, Ashley and his cohorts reckon that more spark is needed to sell the club now they are surrounded by the glitz and worldwide profile of the Premier League. Plans to sack Hughton surfaced in October after Newcastle were thrashed at home by Arsenal in the Carling Cup. Yet the club issued this statement: “Chris is our manager and will remain our manager. It is our intention to renegotiate his contract at end of year.” Privately, United were happy to see Hughton’s job insecurity was out in the open. To understand why, is to understand how Ashley runs his businesses. His top lieutenants love a good verbal scrap. Swearing and cursing each other is a way of life, and he relishes the creative tension it produces. It is the same when it comes to Newcastle. The next boss had better be a tough operator. Ironically, United cashed in on the rumours swirling around in autumn. The players united in support of Hughton, convincingly beat Sunderland before going to Arsenal to record a shock win. But Hughton was badly weakened by his No.2 Colin Calderwood departing to manage Hibs, with rows about a successor dragging on for weeks. It became impossible for Hughton to find a replacement given that there was no contract to secure his own job. Club insiders are grooming Peter Beardsley for a senior managerial position as he has been a constant supporter of the Ashley regime, but they want experience this time round. Beardo was placed in caretaker charge last night alongside Steve Stone. In the end, perhaps Hughton was done for precisely because he kept a lid on the hidden moments of turmoil. Had he taken on Ashley and Llambias in public it may not have done him many favours, but up to the end he retained the backing of the Toon Army. There was not one moment when the Geordie fans turned against him. Every week they sang his name, and Hughton, modestly, almost reluctantly, clapped back in their direction. He could rant and rave when standards slipped, but he also earned respect for protecting the players during difficult moments, including dressing-room scraps and sticky results. He was a straight man, who played a straight bat in public, while also being passionate. It was precisely what the club needed to settle the turmoil of the previous decade and claw back some stability. That stability was blown apart by Ashley yesterday. Hughton certainly didn’t deserve it. The timing of the sacking was strange but, as explained, not totally unexpected. He walks away with a modest pay-off of less than £200,000 – compared to the £4.5million it cost to get rid of Sam Allardyce. But at least he leaves with great dignity and the total respect of the Geordie faithful, and football fans everywhere. They will sing their goodbyes for him at the Liverpool game this Saturday, for sure. Unfortunately, Chris Hughton will not be around to milk it in front of the directors.
