Chris Hughton

Anyone else think Mike Ashley has taken leave of whatever sense he had? I do.

I look at the teams that have maintained success, Manchester United, Arsenal. more humbly Crewe, Lincoln under Keith Alexander. What is the common thread? Managerial consistency. Look at a club that were successful and lost it, Liverpool. They had the formula and threw it away. I put Lincoln forward although they were succesful they did not win anything but that is down to finance but the point is they had the same manager. Liverpool produced team after winning team through a succession of managers but they didn't chop and change they grew them if you like and then they started to chop and change they lost the formula and stopped winning the league.

What is Ashley trying to prove? Not that he's ambitious that's for sure, that he's the boss probably. I can't imagine the Toon Army being too pleased.

Oh well perhaps we'll see Chris Hughton at Sincil Bank in the future, to watch his son Cian. Not that he's in the team at the moment, it's not the Hughton families finest hour at the moment is it?




He'll be turning in
