Chris Hughton In Charge At Toon

[domw001]

Apparently Chris H has now been put in charge as caretaker manager at Newcastle

This is a big ask of the fella.

Will be interesting for him if he is still in charge for the CC game.

Good luck with that one Chris. :clap:

Poor guy. Seriously, what has he done to deserve something like that? Chris Hughton and his family have my sympathy at a difficult time like this. Hopefully he won't be too traumatised by the experience.

Good luck Chris, trust me you'll need it.

 

[spurdownunder]

Yup, why would he go there in the first place.

 

[PT]

He's done the job at Spurs before.

 

[JKSpurs]

Hope he does well. GL Chris.

He's done the job at Spurs before.

2 or 3 times i think

be intresting to see if he stays on at newcastle, bit of a shame for him really seeing as he was hoping newcastle would become setted as a club

 

[Paxtonite]

With respect to the guy (great player) but how many managers has he seen off now??

 

[Remora]

He's in a win-win situation as far as his reputation goes.

People are jumping ship and he's only going to look good if he does well.

If he doesn't, who would blame him?

I doubt he'll get long enough to build any rep - they'll have a new boss sorted in the next few weeks and he might even lose his job. Maybe MJ will have him at Hamburg..... :up:

Im surprised he didn't go with MJ to Hamburg, doubt he'll be in charge of Newcastle for too long.

Actually, I'd like to retract that post...

because, there's always the ridiculously scant and incredibly slight danger that somehow, just somehow, the Geordies take to him as yet another messiah and raise him unwillingly on a throne, C-3PO-like.

(note that my use of the word 'like' at the end of the above paragraph was not in any way similar to that of a Geordie).

I'll take a flying guess that it was him, not Keegan, that got Newcastle's comedy defence to work last season.

 

[Bonjour]

Go Chris!!

 

[VegasII]

Pood bugger. All the best, Chris...I hope you beat Wise to death with your clipboard.

 

[General Levy]

I hope he gets them fucking inbreeds relegated.

He would go down as an even bigger spurs legend than he currently is.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

I think they should give the job to George Cole, of ex-Arthur Daily in Minder fame - he always struck me as the ideal type of bloke to manage a team.

Well, he had a groovy coat for it, that's enough boxes ticked for Ashley right?

Replace the word 'flying' with 'educated' and you're there.

Keegan was in charge for 6-7 weeks and Geordies were losing and looking like going down, Chrissy joined and within 2 weeks their defence stopped shipping goals and they climbed to safety.

I'd be stunned if that was coincidence.
