Brighton boss Chris Hughton insists he holds no grudge against Newcastle United.
Hughton is still thought highly by Toon fans for his time in charge.
He told the Daily Mail: "I'd have to be very silly not to know what the Newcastle supporters think of me, it means a lot.
"It was my first managerial job and, despite the challenges, we won promotion in my first season. It was a special moment in my life, a special place."
It is seven years since he was sacked by Mike Ashley with Newcastle 10th in the Premier League.
He says: "I've never had an explanation and, in all honesty, I don't need one. I'll forever be grateful for having that chance."
