Chris Hughton: "I have always said that I am very happy here at Newcastle.
"I have been here for two-and-a-half years and it's a place that I have always felt very comfortable.
"For me, though, that's not an issue.
"The most important thing is that we start the season well.
"We have had our ups and downs, we are on the back of a couple of defeats, and we need to get back to winning ways as quick as we can."
