In the five games before Hughton was sacked Norwich scored 6 goals - in the five games after he was sacked they scored 1 goal. They were five points above the relegation zone when he was sacked - the Norwich board panicked and ended up getting relegated as a result.
Yep - they were five points above the relegation zone with 5 games to go - Norwich got one point after sacking Hughton - Sunderland went on a 4 game win streak after Norwich sacked Hughton (including beating Chelsea and Man Utd) - they had lost 7 of the previous 8 before he was sacked. Houghton...
Mick McCarthy has just started with a two year contract and U-21 manager Stephen Kenny has a contract to take over from him.
Personally I'd sack McCarthy - but its not going to happen.
Champions League football and the opportunity to win trophies - up to 60,000 at home games - it was a long way to fall :drool:
Looks like Middlesbrough are dumping Pulis - Hughton is going to be in high demand.
Saying that - he may bide his time and wait to see if a Premiership job opens up.
