Chris Hughton was having some trouble when he was in charge of the first team, after Kevin Keegan resigned from Newcastle, for the second time, in early September.
Chris Hughton with manager Joe Kinnear – good partnership
But since Joe Kinnear came in and used his experience to steady the Newcastle ship, it turns out that Joe and Chris have worked very well together, and we’ve always thought Chris has done more than decent job at the club.
Looking back on a difficult few weeks in charge of the first team Chris said:
“That time at the helm has not affected my confidence. The biggest factor as to why we did not do well was that I was without some of our best players.”
“With due respect to Claudio Cacapa, being forced to play him in midfield and use two central defenders as full-backs was not what I would have wanted.”
“My saving grace is the fact I am still very much involved in the coaching and preparations of Newcastle United, and I am trying to do the best job I can for the club.”
It’s good to see Chris and Joe working so well together, along with Richard Money, who is doing a great job with the Under-18 side and our very young Reserves side. Joe and Chris are both positive guys. but at the same time they are realistic and down to earth.
You know for sure that Joe will tell you exactly what he thinks, and he doesn’t pull his punches, as the Daily Mirror journalist Simon Bird found out in September. 
We may be short on the number of coaches we have at the club since Keegan, McDermott and Adam Sadler left, but the quality we have at the club right now is excellent.
Very much like our playing staff, come to think of it.

Love the site. Keep up the good work Ed.
To everyone who comes on here and slags Ed off for his content, give it a break man. This is a BLOG. His blog. It’s not a daily newspaper. He isn’t a reporter. He’s just writing about his beloved club.
I like reading his articles and reading the banter. I don’t rely on Ed for my “news”.
There you go. Rant over. It just bugs me.
Appreciate what you’ve got because if he packs it all in I for one would be gutted.
Ed, I expect a fat brown envelope to arrive soon.
Here’s a great tip for everyone. Don’t use internet explorer. Go and get Opera. Trust me. It’s the dogs. No pop ups. It’s The most secure browser. It has features IE and Firefox don’t have. http://www.opera.com
If Opera doesn’t light your fire use Firefox.
I get NO problems with Opera. I didn’t even know this site had problems.
Jut try it. My favourite feature is Speed Dial.
Anway, sorry for waffling. It looks like an opera advert.
Sorry for going off topic. Best wishes to all.

I agree sirjasontoon.
No-one has said anything on this post and I’m not slagging anyone off. I’ve just noticed it a few times recently and thought it was a bit uncalled for.
I’m not usually a moaning sod I just had to say something and to mention it at the top of a post.
20 Davey // Dec 3, 2008 at 7:15 PM
The players we are being linked too are just the same as the summer hopefuls – nothing will come of it apart from Mr Wise and his brilliant last minute loan signings!
We’re going down and what’s more, I delighted because this will route out those idiots that follow the club because it’s cool to do so, and only leave those true supporters who see the bigger picture – Yes, I would rather us drop a division to rid us of Ashley, and then gradually rebuild with individuals that care about the club. Face it, when was the last time we could say we were 3rd best team in the NE – Joke! An owner who could care less about the club, merely purchased club to make a profit! Otherwise it would have been sold now for a price like for like – A YES MAN Manager as well as a vast majority of supporters acting like idiots “Oh we must support the team no matter what, not the owner, the players on the pitch need our support” – WHY? Ok we may stay up bottom 6, wow, come on lets strive for real success, if we try hard enough and really support the players under Ashleys control we might even make the bottom 7 – Yeah what a great idea, lets support the destruction of the club – honestly no idea, look at the bigger, long-term picture!
I’m seriously ashamed of most of you, yet extremely proud of some of you, the ones who truly care about the clubs longer term prospects and can see the positives from dropping Ashley.
I could care less how much stick I get from you lot, because to me, most of you are not true supporters, merely individuals with opinions, as have I, but at least if any opposition fans visit this site, they can see that there is a least one true fan who cares about his clubs future, unlike the fickle picture concluded thanks to you idiots!

25 Toon1978 // Dec 3, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Beye the great
I take it thats the Simon Jordon link. Why the hell he attacks the club and fans like that i will never know. The thing is we might not be a big club in his eyes but we are certainly a bigger club than Crystal Palace. The blokke wants his southern head kicked in lets hope he brings them up to SJP. WHAT A WANK3R.

Just look at the way simon jordan looks, he’s a long blonde haired pompus puff. and to claim he’s been up to newcastle many times and never heard the “geordie roar” everyone speaks about, is rather ridiculous. He couldnt have been here with his huge championship club, so god knows why he’s been at SJP so regularly, if he thinks so lowly of us.
Listen to how he shouts over the interviewer when talking, makes these ridiculous hand gestures, stupid faces, the guy’s just a complete idiot.
This is the man who baught palace in 2000, immediatly made himself chairman, and promised they would be playing premiership football within 5 years. 8 years later he’s saying he’s selling, as he’s been “disillusioned with football for a long time”, he’s calling his board a panel of halfwits, and palace are still playing championship football, idiot.

We are a big (sized) club. Like it or not we are not a big as in the big 4.
We try, in some cases, too hard half the time. We go for big shots, has beens.
Buying players like Owen, we buy players who either are passed it or are not up to it, we’re obsessed with Man U/Arsenal..etc players. We don’t go for honest hard working players like Doyle who mightn’t have the biggest name in football but he’s a talent.
58 DanToon // Dec 3, 2008 at 10:37 PM
What you think of Spurs, Villa, Man City Portsmouth etc is what every other supporter thinks of us, we’re in that bracket IMO.
59 DanToon // Dec 3, 2008 at 10:47 PM
Oh n’ Nottingham Forest won sh*t loads of trophy’s over the 70’s & 80’s including TWO European Cups (Champions League) in a row!

When we bought Owen he wasn’t past it & still isn’t!..
…Colo ain’t, Jonas ain’t, Barton ain’t, Bassong ain’t, Guthrie ain’t, all the kids we’ve bought recently ain’t!..You ALWAYS need some experienced players…Our oldest players are Given, Harper, Geremi, Butt, Viduka, Beye!..

62 Piers // Dec 3, 2008 at 11:37 PM

63 Isaac Hunt // Dec 3, 2008 at 11:38 PM
The size of the club is relative to the size of the fan base
64 KK FOREVER (Ross) // Dec 3, 2008 at 11:43 PM
punk skunk-i’d agree in saying owen isnt past it at all. You never lose the natural eye and ability he has for goal. He’s had a few bad games yes, and yes he owes us, but all the more reason to do our best to keep him in january and let him prove his worth.
also agree about older, more experienced players being vital. i’m sure scholes, giggs, neville are still priceless to man utd. players like Ballack at Chelsea, Gallas at arsenal. Every team has their couple of wise, experienced players to keep everything in order on the field, and help the youngsters off it too.
65 Isaac Hunt // Dec 3, 2008 at 11:46 PM
So MO keeps everything in order on the field, and helps younsters off it? I think not.

69 xisco biscuits // Dec 4, 2008 at 8:33 AM
big club to me is in terms of fanbase, global reputation and trophies.
we havent won trophies – nobody can dispute that.
however, we have a huge global reputation – far bigger than everton, pompey, villa etc. i went ot turkey a few years ago and whenever the turks heard my accent on saw my toon top they would speak of shearer, owen, given, ginola etc. i can’t imagine them stopping an everton fan and talking about andy johnson, paul rideout, arteta etc. likewise with pompey – defoe (as good as he is) doesn’t have the reputation or the attraction that shearer and owen etc have.
as for fanbase, we have millions of fans worldwide. we also get 52,000 week in week out. or at least we did until this mess kicked off and people started to boycott. we still get far far more than most clubs, even with our pi55-taking owners/board
so i’d say we score 2/3 in the big club stakes. not bad i reckon. add some trophies and we can shut the “you’re not a big club coz u dont win anything” brigade up!!
p.s. simon jordan is a slimey orange prick, so i wouldnt take much notice of him
70 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 8:34 AM
Enjoyed reading simon jordans comments. He more or less said everything i have been saying on here for the last 6 months. Newcastle are big in newcastle, that is all.
Oh well, i am off for a nap. Still feeling a bit rough after celebrating getting to anoyher semi final. Its great supporting a big club!
71 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 8:38 AM
Xisco biscuits- that is complete made up bollox that you have a bigger global reputation than villa and everton.
72 Xisco Stu // Dec 4, 2008 at 8:49 AM
That is the typical narrow minded response AO. You of all people should know we get fans from all other the world supporting Newcastle as there are many that have posted here on one of your favourite internet sites.
73 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:02 AM
xisco stu- all teams have fans all over the world. I wasnt arguing that point. I was saying You dont have a bigger global reputation. It makes me laugh how popular you fans think you actually are. But i suppose fans of pompey and hull probably think the same about there clubs.
If you are a young football fan around the age of 10 you wont remember the 2 good seasons under keegan . My nephew who is 9 thinks newcastle are shit because they have been ever since he was interested in football. Older fans around 30 will remember your glorious 2 seasons(when you won nothing) but remember you were shit before and after that. You would have to be about 70 to remember any sort of newcastle success. This goes for football fans around the world. They wont know or care who you are.
74 xisco biscuits // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:10 AM
AO, go for a nap you sad fool. i’m sure the next time we get to a semi-final i’ll find a better way to celebrate than to go on another teams blog and give it the big’un, despite being level on points with a club in crisis who spent a fraction of your summer spree
75 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:17 AM
xisco biscuits- another way to look at it is, we had the worst start in our entire history yet are still above you.And all that money we spent will hopefully land us our second consecutive trophy.
76 selly no skill // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:20 AM
i reckon shearer speed and rob lee would make a fantastic management team.
77 MichaelOWaN // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:23 AM
I think we are a big club in different ways than others, like some of you have said that we have a huge and great fanbase not just in the city itself but around the world as well. And we have gone up against some of the big boys around the region as well when we were still competing in the Champions League and UEFA Cup for quite some time adn we did record some impressive victories over some of the so call club that are more ‘bigger’ than us.
In football, there isnt a specific or a definite meaning for the term ‘big club’. So its anyone guess what a big club really means. Im sure every fan will say that their club is a big club for whatever reason they might think so the arguments on whether we or other clubs are big will never end as far as Im concerned. One thing that I know every club will want is to be successful and the only way you can do that is buy winning as many titles you can. If you can do that, then nobody will be able to argue on how big the club is.
78 xisco biscuits // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:29 AM
AO – yes that is another way to look at it. a rose-tinted way all be it…
modric £16m

i also love the national notion that newcastle fans hound managers out – santini, jol, ramos, now the greedy ginger traitor…
79 Micky Toon // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Seriously AO, why do you keep coming on here? I really do think you aren’t even wanted by spuds fans and this is the only place left for you to post.
You say – And all that money we spent will hopefully land us our second consecutive trophy.
Hmm, until you come up against ManU that is.
You still fail to see that you aren’t actually any better off than us, yet in your eyes your club is being ran to the best of it’s ability and you had a really successful summer in the transfer market. Now compare that to us who have a manager who in my opinion just isn’t up to the job and the fact that we had a pretty poor summer of transfers, Jonas and Colo being the only exciting buys, and the people who are running our club haven’t got a clue.
Now who should be the worried fan?
The spurs fan who’s club is in tip top condition and they are still near the bottom of the league and only just beating the likes of Watford with a pure fluke or the NUFC fan who’s club is a mess from the board room to the training ground?
80 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:31 AM
xisco biscuits- or you can say that the 20 mill from sunderland for 3 players plus the Defoe money covered most of that without even bringing up the 50 mill we got for berba and keane.
81 Micky Toon // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:32 AM
Obviously the answer is we should both be worried, but we can fix our problem, spurs have nothing to fix.
82 Paul R // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:34 AM
I am getting so sick of other supporters coming on here and having a pop i know i for one never waste my time looking at a spurs blog or whatever crap lurks down cockney land – thats because i am a true supporter of my team Newcastle. I am not a plastic spuds glory supporter. (if u count glory as the tin cup)
AO get a life and pee off.u sad little moron. we r a bigger team than you – FACT – not everything great comes from shit hole london. thats what i hate most about u lot u think anything north of watford isnt important – well i thik anything south of watford is shit. you sad cockneys think your great. we are easily capable of getting back in to the champions league within a few years (how many seasons have you played in the champions league) and it wasnt too long ago when we were near the top u lot were fighting to stay up – you spuds lot have short memories huh !? we are just on a low at the moment but we will rise again and any way we will still stuff you as we nomally do.
oh and another thing your fans aint half as passionate as our fans and your stadium is crap too compared to ours !! another reason we are a better team.
now go and find a spurs blog and comment on there i bet if we were face to fce you wouldnt have the bottle to say all your crap … no balls just like your shit team … now sling it !
83 Micky Toon // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:37 AM

84 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:41 AM
Micky toon- what a load of garbage. We had our worst start in our history. Sacked the manager and director of football ,whilst selling our strikers.. We have a new manager trying to get over new ideas with players he might not want. How is that running a club in tip top condition?
85 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:44 AM
paul r- All guess work and nothing to back it up.So you think in a couple of years you could be challenging for the champions league? Most deluded fan!
86 xisco biscuits // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:45 AM
AO, so you sell your best two players (to clubs who are genuinely big clubs) and replacing them with a hit-and-miss unproven russian, a dreadful mexican kid who is nothing but potential, a lightweight croat who has done nothing, and bentley who has totally failed to live upto billing and is only good from dead-balls, whilst failing to improve your shocking defence. and that’s progress?? when did newcastle last sell a key player at the peak of their powers to one of the big four?? carrick, berb, keane…
go to bed mate, and learn how to celebrate your moderate success. because i dont class going on another clubs blog as celebrating. then again, i’ve got friends, a life, and a season ticket. night night mate
87 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:45 AM

And you would love to have a quater of our moderate success.
89 xisco biscuits // Dec 4, 2008 at 9:55 AM
AO, so the top-four wouldn’t have wanted shearer, ginola, owen, lee, woodgate (at his best), given, asprilla?? i think you’re wrong there fella
we would love a quarter of your moderate success yes, but you havent had enough of it for us to start fractioning it up

99 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 10:27 AM
KK- greaves, ardiles and hoddle were geordies? You stupidity is on another evel.
Paul r- like normski before you, you are nothing but a keyboard warrior. It must be great coming on here pretending to be something your not.
Micky toon – are you dense? genuine question. every manager who takes over a new team inherits the odd player he doesnt rate.

AO – when you fish do you ever go to Aquariums? Or shoot fish in a barrel? Or hook a duck?
Surely the challenge of a bite is in the skill of getting it? Anyone can catch mackerel !

kk- I obviously assume that you are referring to gazza and waddle. Unlike you idiots who go on about the cockney mafia, i dont care where a player is from. Surely it was a shame for you that the 2 best homegrown players you ever produced left to win things with spurs.

AO….I looove the Spurs,i always have and always will.

“Surely it was a shame for you that the 2 best homegrown players you ever produced left to win things with spurs.”
Err, Shearer and Beardsley never played for spurs. Now if you had said Blackburn and Liverpool then you might be right.
106 AO // Dec 4, 2008 at 12:10 PM
mickey toon- i wasnt aware that shearer and beardsley came through your youth team. Anyway you cant compare gazza and waddle with those 2. gazza and waddle were world class.
