The NUST Board wish to register their anger and disappointment at the decision to dispense with Chris Hughton's services. In the most difficult of circumstances he has carried out his duties with the utmost dignity and with a large degree of relative success.
To their cost, Newcastle United have repeatedly over the years seen the negative impact of changing managers during the football season. The Trust Board believes today's decision simply confirms that the best way forward is for supporters to own a substantial stake and have real influence within their club rather than NUFC being the plaything of any one individual. Our belief is that this is the best way forward in helping to bring stability and long-term success to St.James' Park.
Chris Hughton has left with our thanks and his dignity intact, while the football club is left in a precarious position. We hope Newcastle United can recruit the right candidate without delay, as supporters we all want the club to be successful no matter who plays in the team, or indeed whoever owns the bricks and mortar.
