Talking on Sky TV he said: "What more can Chis Hughton do to get a new deal?
"He has been amazing at Newcastle, and he deserves the respect of being offered a new deal.
"If that doesn't happen after THIS result, an away win over Arsenal, following the 5-1 win over local rivals Sunderland, then I was walk away from the club ... I seriously would!"
Hughton's future has yet to be resolved. However, the man who guided Newcastle up from the Championship at the first attempt maintained: "There is not anything I can do, all I can do is win as many football matches as I can."
