Campbell: “Newcastle have got themselves a great manager.”
Posted on November 14th, 2010 | 17 Comments |
Campbell is the latest in line of a number of Newcastle players who have backed Hughton throughout the recent media storm, that was generated by the press I hasten to add, that suggested that Hughton could be on his way out of St James’.
Speculation will continue over the future of Chris Hughton, but most Newcastle fans are happy with the way that Chris is dealing with life in the Premier League. Could we really be doing any better?
Well, yes, but in general we aren’t doing too bad. We sit in seventh place after 13 games, and we have 18 points on the board.
If we can keep that run going until the end of the season it will put us on around 52 points, which is top ten form. Anyway, there is a long way to go this season, but Campbell is pleased that Hughton, who he has known for a number of years through their association with Tottenham Hotspur, is doing well;
“Newcastle have got themselves a great manager,” Campbell told the Sunday Sun. “He is doing a pretty good job in the Premier League and with money he’s had to play with, he’s doing fantastically well really.
Newcastle didn’t spend an awful lot over the summer, although the captures of Cheick Tiote and Hatem Ben Arfa can be described as a success, despite the fact that we, unfortunately, haven’t seen that much of Ben Arfa.
Both of those deals repesented a lot of hard work put in by Hughton and the club in order to get them to Newcastle. We all know just how long it took to get Ben Arfa to Newcastle, and most of us aware that Tiote is a player that Hughton has been watching for a number of years.
Hughton has been called a work-a-holic before, and now he has been called it again as Campbell continued prasing the boss.
“People might not see it in him but he’s passionate, he’s a workaholic. He just wants to get everything right and I totally understand it because the job is precious to him.”
“He appreciates the position he is in and he wants to do the best he can for the club, the players and ultimately for himself. He wants a long career as a manager.”
It’s pretty clear that Hughton cares for the club, well to me it is anyway. He has worked with whatever he has been given and I genuinely feel that there is nobody who could do the job better at the moment given the limitations that our squad has, and the lack of any real investment in the team.
Just my thoughts anyway!
