Looney Toons

The saying goes that 'nice guys finish last' and this has certainly been the case for for Ex Newcastle Manager Chris Hughton, who he has become the first premier league manager to get the sack this season.

Having lead Newcastle into the Premier League as winners of the Championship (Divison one) Chris Houghton has quietly stamped his mark on the club. At present they sit tenth in the Premier League and have been victorious against Arsenal(away) as well as giving Aston Villa a 6-0 beating at home. I’ll be the first to admit I'm not one of Newcastle's biggest fans as I just can not fathom the hype that surrounds the club,however with Chris there I was beginning to warm to them. I was even starting like to their joke of a chairman Mike Ashely

But in true Newcastle form the club have embarrassed themselves by making this awful decision. Granted, Chris wouldn’t have won them the league but at least he brought them stability and substance which is something Newcastle have lacked since their messiah’s (Kevin Keegans') first stint.

This could turn out to be a masterstroke by Newcastle but in the meantime the saga that is the ‘Toon Army’ continues.




Chris Hughton looks up to the sky in disbelief.
