Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is stunned by Newcastle United's decision to sack manager Chris Hughton.
Redknapp condemned the decision to get rid of former White Hart Lane favourite Hughton.
"I can't believe it," Redknapp said.
"You couldn't get a better fella than Chris Hughton, and what a fantastic job he's done at Newcastle to get them promoted as he did."
Although the dismissal was a disappointment to Redknapp, in Holland preparing for his team's Champions League match against FC Twente, he suggested it might have been coming for a while.
"I think we've all felt something wasn't quite right there," Redknapp said.
"He didn't get a contract and everything else. It's up to the people who own the club. They own the club and can do whatever they want, it's their decision."
