More sense

Chris Hughton
Being, by all accounts, a thoroughly decent person isn't enough to hold on to your job as a Premier League manager. Not when you have guided your team to only 18 wins in 71 matches. Not when you oversaw a run of two wins in 19 games last season, invested heavily in the squad during the summer, and now boast only three victories in the last 18 fixtures.

Norwich have gone backwards under Hughton this season. He had already lost the fans and, judging by Saturday's defeat to West Brom, he could also no longer inspire the players. The timing is odd, but only in the sense that Norwich should have made this decision much earlier. They are no worse off with Neil Adams in charge as they head into Saturday's six-pointer against Fulham and the daunting final four matches against Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Gulp.
