    Perhaps wanted assurances that the owner isn't a devious, scheming scrote...

    I dont think I can quite believe this story. Do we really think Hughton would ask for bigger bonuses than Roy Hodgson?

    They are lucky to get Roy though, I do rate him as a manager!

    After what he did with NUFC with his back room staff and the progress we made in this league under him, I'd have thought that was a small price to pay!!

    It's not really believable but would anyone blame Hughton if he actually were a bit more forceful with club owners after his last experience? Hope he gets a new role soon anyway.

    Have heard that a few clubs have been put off Chris because of his demands. Apparently Ipswich couldn't afford him and Sheffield Utd shyed away when they spoke to him. Now West Brom have pulled out. Is he being a little greedy or was he on a bigger salary up here than we thought?

    Well that should not have been an issue, he didn't have a backroom staff at newcastle.

    I believe he insisted that their away kit was changed to custard yellow.

    He wanted Calderwood... would have meant compensation to Hibs.

    I don't really find it hard to believe to be honest. Nothing in football shocks me anymore.
    Good luck to hughton tho. He'll be in another job soon enough.
