Chris Hughton has confirmed his resigning as Newcastle United manager in this morning. It was some shocking news on St. James' Park, as supporters were ready to begin the Premier League campaign.
"I cannot handle this pressure, it is like you want to beat a bear without any weapon." said Chris Hughton.
"I was requested to bring back Europe on St. James' Park in two years, thing that surely's impossible, as I was announced that I have just 20 millons available in this summer."
"The owner (Mike Ashley) needs to research his wishes, because no one can archieve what he requested me to."
As reporters were asking Chris about the Newcastle staff, he answered.
"The club staff is very weak, there are people that are earning money by doing nothing. Some of them just don't have a clue about their work or what they gonna do next day."
"When the owner doesn't allow you to change the staff, the money doesn't allow you to do so, what else can you do?"
It will be remained to be seen who will take the hotseat, there have been rumours about Alan Curbushley and Brian Laws.

Alan Curbishley - "I am not joining Newcastle."
Alan Curbishley denied the rumours that he will take over the Newcastle hotseat, explaining that he doesn't need a job like that.
"I received few offers from bigger and better clubs, so no, I will not take over at Newcastle."
"Mike (Ashley) called me and explained me his project, but I am looking for another job."
"He obviously needs to put more effort in finding a manager to help him up, seeing that he won't give any money for transfers."
As Alan Curbishley is out of the cards, will remain to be seen who will be the next Newcastle manager.
The rumours around St. James' Park are very intense, as no one knows what will happen to Newcastle.
The medias have recently claimed Felipe Scolari as the new Newcastle manager.
"Mike Ashley called Mr. Scolari and proposed him our project, a project that will transform Newcastle in a stable club in Premier League, fighting for Europe." said Derek Llambias.
"Anyway, the contract terms includes few points, from what I knew, points that have been accepted by Mike Ashley."
"Our hotseat is 90% took by Scolari."
As Scolari was managing Palmeiras, Newcastle will have to pay a fee around 3,3m to bring the brazilian on St. James' Park.
Fans already have been delighted to hear the news.

Scolari: "There will be many newcomers."
Just a few hours after he was installed as Newcastle manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari reveiled that there will be many possible newcomers.
"The squad is pretty good for now, but as I want to go forward and finish in top 10, we will need some new good players." said the brazilian.

"There are some decent targets, on free, that we can sign, but we need to talk to the owner about their wage."
"I have been given around 20M to do work in this summer and I think, with a lot of luck, we can find ourself in a good position at the end of the season."
"I cannot wait the season to start, so I can see what my players can do."
