We need a lift, yes, and this will be achieved by appointing a decent experienced Championship manager, such as Hughton.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
It's going to be Hughton isn't it...

That said, I would prefer Pulis.

I don't call winning the league with over 100pts dull. I call that quite an feat, whatever squad you got at your disposal.

Blimey, I hope not, the guy is a complete plank and even if he wasn't he'd be the most risky of almost all appointments. Fortunately he doesn't fit the club criteria of "championship experience"

Newcastle's Championship winning season,,
Played 46, Wins 30, Draws 12, Lost 4, GF 90, GA 35, GD +55, PTS 102.
I don't care what squad you got. Many have tried and most have failed. That is none to shabby. Goal difference of +55. That's probably more goals than we have scored in a season for the past few years(tongue in cheek, but probably not to far off)..You cut your cloth accordingly, what was he suppose to do with Norwich
Go attack attack attack and get stuffed every week in the prem They weren't down when he left them, whether they would have or not, we will never know.....and let's not forget where Birmingham have been for the last few years, after he left them in good shape.

That really is an impressive record isn't it.
Harper, collocini, Jose Enrique, joey Barton, fitz hall, danny Guthrie, wayne routledge, Damien duff, danny Simpson, Alan smith, nicky butt, geremi, Leon best, Stephen Taylor, kazenga lua lua, shola ameobi, Kevin Nolan, Andy caroll.
I think that says it all. Was Hughton really that good? If you check out the Birmingham Squad he was in charge of you'll see again a very good squad that also played in Europe.

How many and who joined during his time?
I've only just realised that Henry Hughton is Chris' brother. For those who are old enough, this must be for me one of the most notorious incidents in the history of our feuds with Palace. My memory of the game is that it was the worst tackle anyone had seen. The following day the Sun were campaigning for Henry Hughton to get a long ban. Reports since have suggested that he was genuinely sorry.
That is a shocker, but I can't hold his brother responsible. I guess it might make him appreciate the importance of the rivalry with Palace that bit more....

Remember the shocking incident well, but as you say to hold a relation guilty by association would be more than harsh, I well remember Chris Hughton playing for Spurs, from my bad memory I don't think he was a dirty player was he? I will look it up on Google myself when I can be bothered!
