Newcastle fans are far too critical of the only manager who has given us some modicum of success in the past ten years. We played some good stuff under his management, we were safe in the league and we got European football.
All the players of the era openly say they were surprised by how good a manager he was when he came over Hughton, it was a step up. I mean, the guy faced Barton coming in first day on the job and saying the players never wanted him and they miss Hughton. He won them over quickly.
