Chris has kept us on track, says Simpson

Oct 11 2009

by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun

LOAN star Danny Simpson has hailed Newcastle caretaker manager Chris Hughton for the “perfect” job he is performing amid the club’s off-field crisis. Amid a tortuous takeover saga and the embarrassment caused by Kevin Keegan’s compensation case, Hughton has kept things on track on the pitch. And although Simpson has worked under the very best in the business in Sir Alex Ferguson, he has lavished the highest praise on his temporary new boss. “It’s obvious that Chris has done a perfect job,” said Manchester United defender Simpson, who is on loan at St James’s Park until January. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT “With all that was known and said about which managers could come here, it can’t have been easy for him. “But he has managed superly. “Obviously, the fact that he has given me a chance to play regularly is brilliant, but he’s very impressive in bigger ways. “He is very precise in setting his targets and in his preparation for matches. “He gives each of us information on our opposing players. “Some guys don’t really know much about some of the players in this league, but Chris has ensured we are fully prepared for each match.”
