I really don't understand football clubs at all. How can an owner (Mike Ashley) sack a manager who is doing a very good job (Chris Hughton)?? I really am disgusted, and it just shows that even if you get you're team into the Premier League, getting 102 pts out 132, you still get sacked.
It was pretty obvious Mike Ashley did not want somebody like Chris Hughton, who does not have the prestige of other manager's which he actually deserves. Pardew is reported to be on the verge of signing a contract with the club, which is quite ironic.
The very same thing happened to him at the start of the season. He was doing a decent job with Southampton and hew as sacked for no apparent reason: two managers who have experienced exactly the same treatment. I would laugh a lot if Hughton ended up going to Sunderland, and then both of them getting fired afterwards. Unlikely, but you never know.
The final thing that really puzzles me is that Newcastle said they wanted somebody with more experience that Hughton. Well, it seems Pardew isn't exactly the man. His Premier League record is bad to say the least and he's only played 74 games. Better get somebody like Cursbishley or Martin Jol, as was suggested in a newspaper this morning who are much better managers with more Premier League experience.
