Moyes: Hughton did brilliant job
Long-serving Everton manager David Moyes has rounded on Newcastle for dismissing Chris Hughton and says club bosses should follow the example set by Manchester United and Arsenal.
Hughton was replaced by Alan Pardew this week despite leading his team to 11th place in the Barclays Premier League after promotion.
Moyes will take charge of his 401st game for Everton against Wigan since joining in 2002. He said: "Losing your job is a concern to all managers.
"But I don't think everyone has treated their managers the way Newcastle have done. Chris Hughton did a brilliant job and I defy anyone could have done better in the time he was in charge. He took them to promotion and put them in a good position in the league.
"If you look at Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger they have been given a good chance to stabilise, build the academies and get the young players through.
"They have set the foundations for the long-term future. People should look at those clubs under those managers and see how well they have done."
