The day Hughton got sacked at Newcastle this is how they stood in the league - transfer that form over a 38 game season and you get 45 points -

Four points off the bottom four with a great squad. I''m not surprised they sacked him if they felt the same way that some of us are feeling now. His team was underperforming and the Newcastle board saw that, acted and haven''t looked back since.

Effectively 6 wins from 16 games with a team that included Andy Carroll, Shola Ameobi, Guitterez, Barton, Nolan, etc.  Poor, and IMO we were duped and I''m afraid time will prove that.
