Next Toon manager: Shearer v Hughton.

Nicky Butt has recently called for Chris Hughton to be made permanent manager of Newcastle United, but what are the options?

Apparently Derek Llambias will shortly be reviewing the positions of Hughton and Calderwood in light of our great start and Nicky Butt hopes that their positions are made permanent until the end of the season. Butt said:

“The team is showing there is belief here, and Chris and Colin deserve the job now.

“Hopefully they get it and that will mean we can all concentrate on the job in hand.
