No worries for Hughton
Chris Hughton insists he cannot afford to listen to ongoing takeover speculation at Newcastle - for the sake of his sanity.[LNB] Toon boss Hughton has spent much of the last three months or so surrounded by claim and counter-claim about his club's immediate future and the part he may or may not play in it.[LNB] But despite claims that Tyneside businessman Barry Moat is ready to push home his interest and instal Alan Shearer as manager, caretaker Hughton told the Evening Chronicle: "If I worried about things like that, I would drive myself mad."[LNB] He added: "The new speculation is nothing I have been told about by anyone at the club, so I am just getting on with my job.[LNB] "I don't know what would happen if there was a change of ownership. The way for me to deal with it is to just get on with my job."[LNB] Several interested parties remain actively involved in the sale process, and there are offers on the table - although Moat's is understood to amount to somewhat less than the £100million for which Mike Ashley is looking.
