Hughton: "The most important thing is the direction of the club.
"It was felt that the club needed someone to come in and, certainly for the period he is in, give that stability until something major happens.
"What everybody wants at the club is direction.
"The appointment, whether it is short-term or however long, is felt to be in the best interests of the club.
