..........and he has since gone on record as saying it was a huge mistake on his part. Just accept a fact as a fact, even if it doesn't suit your argument!
:sigh:
How many times does this have to be said - he was doing an excellent job at Newcastle. Just ask any Newcastle fan (or Mike Ashley, who has gone on record that he made a terrible mistake sacking CH). And, for that matter, although Norwich fans grizzled, they didn't get relegated on his watch.
Perhaps we should ask Leicester about him? They didn't take too long to replace him with Mahrez when they went up to the PL - was he struggling there too?
