Hughton Not Fearing The Axe (Just Yet)!

Norwich City boss Chris Hughton has said he understands concerns over results this season, but the bookies are off his back for the time being.

The bookies claim Nigel Adkins will be the next Premiership manager to put on his hiking boots.

Nigel Adkins 5/2  Mark Hughes 4/1  Chris Hughton 6/1  Sam Allardyce 12/1

Chris Hughton: "Supporters want to get behind us and they get disappointed when they don't see the type of performance that we want - all of that is understandable.

"But it's up to myself and the team to make sure we're able to bounce back and show the spirit we did after a poor first day of the season."
