Why Hughton Had To Go

Derek Llambias has revealed why former manager Chris Hughton lost his job. Derek Llambias: "Chris was a really good guy - look what he's doing with Birmingham. "He's done an incredible job with a club in crisis, and he's pushed it through. "He's got the skill factors. I wish him good luck for the future. "We had a different view of where we wanted to be and what sort of character we needed to push this dressing room further. "That was the decision. It wasn't a question of skill fits or somebody doing a bad job. We needed to kick on - that's what happened. "Alan, we felt, had all the ingredients for what we needed for us personally. "We fall out with Alan Pardew, don't worry! Then we have a little hug and we are OK again. "If you are all lovey-dovey all the time, it just won't work."
