Chris Hughton admits he's in the dark over his sacking by Newcastle United.
Hughton was shown the door earlier this season by Toon owner Mike Ashley.
"There isn't a day that goes past when you don't think, 'Could I have done anything better? What were the reasons?' because I don't know," he told The Journal.
"I reached all the targets that were set and surpassed them. We had an incredible season in the Championship, there was a feel-good factor in the club and once you get to that stage it makes it even more difficult. The only good thing for me is I can look back and for football reasons I hadn't under-achieved.
"In any walk of life if there's someone who doesn't like you or want you, there isn't too much you can do about it. It's a horrible thing to happen to anybody."
