Chris Hughton could be forgiven pertaining to feeling smug recently, given the the latest form of a rejuvenated and also spirited Newcastle side. If we turn back the the clocks by one month things were certainly completely different. Hughton was subject to a bittorrent of abuse from a few fans, as well as the media circulating rumours of a return with regard to Joe Kinnear!

Before we target recent events however, let us look back to the beginning of last time of year, where a depleted Newcastle side remained licking the wounds left simply by such a turbulent a torrid in time the Premier League. August 2009 brought change regarding Newcastle. Chris Hughton began his reign as Caretaker Manager in sparkling form. A line of successive wins recharged the Magpies fans, who started to believe in a quick return to your Premier League. Hughton was appropriately given the job on a long term basis and the rest is history!

The statistics don’t lie; and they show that Hughton has the best win document since Kevin Keegan’s first spell in charge at the club. Nearly all football fans will know the amount of faces have been and eliminated in that time. The likes of Souness, Allardyce, Roeder and Kinnear add to a list of Newcastle Managers which have seriously underachieved. Another thing worth keeping in mind about managers at the club in recent times is the amount of money they have got cost the club due to cancelled contracts. In my opinion it’s made Hughton’s job hundreds of times harder. Financially he’s got had almost nothing to work with, something is shown in the idea that Newcastle spent less money than Blackpool ahead of the season started.

Newcastle’s recent 5-1 demolition of rivals Sunderland put Magpie fans on cloud nine. An astute tactical approach to the go with saw Sunderland simply unable to cope with Newcastle’s attacking prowess. So what do you think should happen right now?

The 5-1 win against Sunderland prompted incredible scenes at Street James’ Park.

I strongly believe Chris Hughton has earned the ability to a new contract at Newcastle. As it is difficult to know what is happening behind the curtain at the club, it is obvious to see that Hughton has restored your feel-good factor at Newcastle. The players look like going out game by game believing they can win (and also win good!). Such a volatile league makes it difficult for team’s to have such self-belief, something optimised by the recent fortunes associated with Liverpool for example.

Sunday’s success away at the Emirates Stadium Arena again demonstrated that the clubs’ the latest form might not simply be as a result of some luck and fortune. Once again the impressive Andy Carroll showed that he possesses the particular credentials worthy of an England call-up. As much as I dislike Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager is intelligent and knows a talent when he sees one. He has publicly shown his support for Carroll’s potential inclusion in the England build. With the injury problems the kind of Rooney and Defoe are enduring in the current time, it would look almost foolish not to provide lad a chance, particularly in one of England’utes frequently disappointing friendly encounters… however i digress.

Mike Ashley has undoubtedly inherited some financial issues because Freddy Shephard’s stint at the club, a few of which cannot be put down to him or her; the aforementioned contract cancellations show this particular. I can see why Mike Ashley could be sceptical to give Hughton a new contract at the current time. Lets just think about that come February/March, Newcastle are again flirting with relegation. To have a manager restricted with a 3-year contract could potentially build a situation that Hughton’s predecessors have encountered, something that could once more cost the club a lot in financial terms.

While push comes to shove, Mike Ashley’s background will mean he’s not concerned with angering the fans for the short time. I would imagine that shortly after Christmas, Chris Hughton will get their deserved new contract; something that will please the Magpies’ players along with fans alike. Until that time comes I think Mike Ashley can keep his cards very close to his / her chest. I hope Hughton will continue in order to prove the sceptics wrong, making strong, attacking and desirable football that emanates from a new hard-working squad full of self-belief. With the exception of Ian Holloway it’s refreshing to see a manager relatively new to the Premier League succeeding against all the possibilities. To see two hard-working and truthful Managers amongst a sea regarding ego’s in Premier Group management is a great thing… and don’t worry Magpie fans, Hughton’s extended contract may be just around the corner!
