Newcastle part company with Hughton
Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has announced that the club have today part companied with Chris Hughton. Chris gained promotion with Newcastle from the Championship after finishing with a staggering 102 points, many fans are angered by Ashley's decision so the replacement will have to be a good well known manager to please the angry Newcastle supporters.
We questioned some fans to see how they feel , these are there reactions ;
Fan 1 -It's a disgrace, after all he did for our club and then you turn your back on him, it's stupid . I think we should of kept him in the job to see how he goes on in the Prem and if things aren't going so well then have a change of manager, but now isn't the right time at all.
Fan 2 - I'm not to sure what to think, he did great last year gaining promotion but i'm not to sure if he could cut it as a Premier League manager to be honest.
Fan 3 - I think it is a good idea, get a fresh experienced manager like Martin O'Neill in and we will be fine, no disrespect to Hughton but he isn't a Premier League manager yet and i wish him well at his new club if he gets one.
Not many fans are applauding Mike Ashley's decision to sack Chris Hughton
