It's difficult to argue too much with Newcastle's recent decision to appoint Chris Hughton as their permanent manager. After all, Newcastle are two points clear at the top of the table, averaging two points per game and are undefeated at home. Yet if I was a Newcastle fan I would have deep concerns about the […]

Newcastle and Middlesbrough entered the Championship from the wrong direction yet still boasted two of the most talented squads in the history of the division.
