Chris Hughton: “I have not been back to Newcastle since it happened (his sacking).
“It hasn’t been because I haven’t wanted to. I just haven’t got round to it yet but I think now, what I would really like is to lead a team out at St James’ Park.
"That would be a fantastic occasion.
“Of course I would like to say a proper goodbye but football doesn’t always work like that.
“If it happens one day, of course I would really be looking forward to it.
"I think it would be a very proud moment for me. It would have been fantastic if it had happened for us at Birmingham.”
