I sad, but not surprised.

The guy did a tremendous job and deserved better from the club..

Shocked, but being a Smoggie, not unhappy. Anything the Geordies do to mastermind their own downfall is fine and dandy by me :)

There are too many "executives" in football now, who think they know the game better than the managers or supporters..

He brings them back out of the Championship, gets them to a respectable mid table position with mediocre play, and they sack him? What more did they want from him?

Martin Jol mentioned not to take a new job soon. Still, in football that doesn't mean nothing. Talking about Ajax, Frank de Boer has taken over the lead until winter.

playing better without their 'spine' of Carra, Gerrard and Nando. Perhaps extra responsibility works wonders!

I am hoping for a Burnley style spiral down the table for them so my Wolves can be safe :-)

joking aside....what was his ceiling? I mean, are they under-performing in the table? No....

I haven't even heard of any Newcy fans trying to oust him, so this is a head-scratcher to be honest.

Confusing, especially as they hardly have a Mourinho lined up to step into his place.

Who else will want the expectation?

The Toon have an awful record of sacking competent managers; the late, great Bobby Robson springs to mind.

will take the job. Hughton did a fantastic job for them and who would want to work with that lunatic Mike Ashley.

They hammered Sunderland 5-1 under him.... I thought he will be a legend at Newcastle after that

I thought he did a good job.
