Newcastle feuert Hughton

[Starostyak]

Newcastle United have parted company with manager Chris Hughton.

The announcement came a day after United were beaten 3-1 at West Brom, a result which left them 11th in the Premier League table.

Hughton guided Newcastle back into the top flight in May after their relegation in the 2008-09 campaign.

However, the club said on their official website they are seeking an individual with more managerial experience to take them forward.

The statement added: "The board would like to place on record their thanks to Chris for his considerable efforts during the club's transition from Championship to Premier League club.

"Chris has shown exceptional character and commitment since being appointed manager in October 2009. The club wishes him well in the future.

"The task of appointing a new manager now begins. An announcement will be made shortly regarding transitional arrangements pending the appointment of a successor."

Speculation has been growing for weeks regarding Hughton's future, although the club revealed in October they would be looking to extend his contract in the new year in response to this.

The defeat at the Hawthorns was the Magpies seventh of a season that has so far seen them win just two games at home.

However, these were a 5-1 win over local rivals Sunderland in October and a 6-0 triumph against Aston Villa back in August.

They have registered wins at Everton and Arsenal this season under Hughton, but have picked up just two points from a possible 15 since the victory at the Emirates on 7 November.

Ashley ist echt der größte Spastiker, dens überhaupt gibt. Souveräner Aufstieg und ein guter Mittelfeldplatz... so behindert kann wirklich nur Newcastle. Hoffentlich kommen jetzt Shearer oder gar Keegan, das wäre wieder mal Comedy pur

Das heißt man hat in den letzten 5 Spielen 3 mal verloren ... Ja, da muss man den Manager schon mal rausschmeißen

Zwischen diesen Sätzen fehlt allerdings das Wichtigste:

Regrettably the board now feels that an individual with more managerial experience is needed to take the club forward.

Chris has shown exceptional character

Wenigstens er...

Hoffentlich steigen sie nun zusammen mit den Wolves ab, bitte bitte bitte!

The Magpies have used seven different managers over the last five-and-a-half years.

Pardew signed a five-and-a-half year contract
