Newcastle have parted company with Chris Hughton and are looking to appoint a new boss with 'more managerial experience'.

 

Despite the well-respected Hughton leading the Magpies back into the Premier League at the first time of asking, his services have now been dispensed with following Sunday's 3-1 defeat at West Brom.

 

The Tyneside club are currently sat in 11th place in the table and enjoyed a 5-1 derby romp against bitter local rivals Sunderland this term, stunned Arsenal at Emirates Stadium and held champions Chelsea on home turf.

[Ian McKay]

Mark McGees available :lol:

[just ask me]

unreal that he got the sack Beardsley is going to take over how does he have more experience than Houghton

 

they done this a few year back and look at what happened

[Wiley]

Absolutely ridiculous, they was talking about this some weeks back even after they had a number of terrific wins. I felt he was doing an excellent job, i think he would have kept Newcastle well up, Shame but least he has proved himself as the front man, im sure he will get a better job, if Harry does become the England manager in 2012, id Welcome Chris back to the lane, he didn't disappoint as a player and never disappointed as Assistant Manager to Martin Jol!!

watched local news tonight alan pardews name keeps coming up expletive remove

[just ask me]

martin o Neil would be the sensible choice but that doesn't seem to happen at Newcastle

[JADE]

dont think his face fitted somehow. thought they were doing ok. hope they now get relegated would serve them right

[chicken head]

I'm in agreement JADE. They deserve to go down because they are clearly greedy. Just back up, you'd think they'd be happy with mid table, spanking of sunderland and a win against chelsea in the carling cup. Frankly if i was a newcastle fan i would have been happy with one of those let alone all three! Get down.

Shockingly disgraceful

 

Nothing Mike Ashley does is surprising though the guy is a bloody volcano that erupts and screws things up non stop.

 

Chris Hughton has done a fantastic job with very limited resources and brought out the best in players that really should at best be Championship level.

 

The problem is whilst we keep dipping money into pockets for tickets, shirts etc the clown will stay there milking the club for every penny he can!

 

O'Neill or Martin Jol to take over - More likely to get Peter Taylor or Gary Megson

[retired]

No a bad guess :002:

[just ask me]

he just left ajax

[Guest The main Mahon]

Another idiotic decision from the deluded Mike Ashley.

 

Newcastle really do have ideas above their station.

 

Hughton was doing a very good job and I reckon Newcastle would have finished around mid table this season, which is good considering their squad.

 

I would PMSL if Newcastle now drop like a stone down the league, it is what Ashley deserves (not the fans).

 

I'm sure the Newcastle fans must be as bewildered as the rest of us at this decision.

 

The Ajax manager has just left by mutual consent...............You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to see who will be getting the job ;-)

Peter Beardsley in temporary charge at St James's Park. THINGS ARE GONNA GET UGLY!!!!

[T_T]

If they want a manager, they can have Avram Grant on a free and take the squad, ( all but Scott Parker )with them.

[just ask me]

just trying to rember but i think none of there last 6 managers have lasted more than two seasons in the top flight

 

shocking

[Guest spin cycle]

Sacked!! I thought the man was doing an excellent job

 

 

i agree....even more bizarre than southgate/midd'gh....toon may well head the same way

[Roland]

Newcastle record takes some believing regards managers.

The best that they can / could realistically hope for is a place in Europe.

Bobby Robson done that, and more... and got the sack!

Obviously Martin O'Niel is tailor made for such a club.

But as his track record proves he has a mpral side and is a very loyal person to his bosses... Don't think he'd be interest in Newcasle as their sacking / loyalty recond stiks to high heavon.

I was surprised when Southampton sacked him, from rumours heard I don't think it was football related

[JohnQuinn]

I would have thought Newcastle could do better than him, at least getting someone who has actually WON something at the top of football. He is no more than mediocre and will no get Newcastle where they want to go, sticking at it through thick or thin or not. JMO
