Chris Hughton a comrade?

[I.Drink.Your.Milkshake]

Just reading his wikipedia page following his sacking by Newcastle, and this linked off it:

How 'bout that!


EDIT: Actually, if you read the article he says it was "preuly Football".

Dont waste your time on this thread!!!

Carry on.....

Well he did write for the magazine. He was friends with people involved with WRP and did a column on after their persuasion. Also note that him, being the first black man who played for Irish national team, dealt with racism and far-right ideology a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he genuinely holds those views. And the way he left the club shows socialist character. :)
But Bill Shankly put him into the shadow when it comes to managers who are socialists. Ah, great Chairman Shankley... ;)

"The socialism I believe in is not really politics. It is a way of living. It is humanity. I believe the only way to live and to be truly successful is by collective effort, with everyone working for each other, everyone helping each other, and everyone having a share of the rewards at the end of the day. That might be asking a lot, but it's the way I see football and the way I see life."

Hughton is currently a Labour member IIRC. So don't get too excited
