Did they seriously expect him to do better with the squad they have?
As a friend of mine wrote:
"Newcastle must be the most religious club in England. They are perpetually awaiting the Messiah. They also believe, despite the complete absence of supporting evidence, that Newcastle is a big club with a right to win trophies. They have won nothing for 50 years. Their last open top parade was probably pulled by a horse".
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Reading the Newcastle board it must be tough being a fan. To have some idiot making a fool of himself with your club must be hard to take.
Chris deserves better and hopefully will get his due soon.
Newcastle 6 Villa 0
Chelsea 3 Newcastle 4
Newcastle 5 Sunderland 1
Arsenal 0 Newcastle 1
They must be nuts.
Shocking really.
Met CH a couple of times, a real gent.
Joke decision by a joke of of a club.
He's better off out of it.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Yep, I doubt a single person could be unearthed with a bad thing to say about him. Not a bad manager either.Originally Posted by ArdeeBhoy
As if I needed a reason other than Joey Barton to hope Newcastle crash and burn.
Alan Pardew is the next manager according to rumour mill.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Sickening but he'll get a decent job in no time. Hopefully for a club that will let him build for the future. I genuinely hope Newcastle get relegated now.
I hope the go down, and theres every chance that they will. And Hughton will be fine, better than that shower will be in the long term, a disgraceful abomination of a club.
Too nice a guy for Newcastle.
In fact too decent for football!!
Chris is too good for that comedy club.
They have made a laughing stock of themselves again.
Former Ireland international John Anderson was on Off The Ball earlier. He works for BBC Radio Newcastle now, and said that Pardew is the clear favourite for the job.
from BBC, just posted on their matchtracker service
to be honest if they ditched Hughton for Jol or Pardew then they deserve relegation. Neither is an improvement on Hughton.BREAKING NEWS: EX-SPURS BOSS MARTIN JOL HAS LEFT AJAX
By 'mutual consent'. And I'm saying absolutely zilch about the newly-created Newcastle job...
