I saw some stats (sorry, can't find them now) that said Bruce's record is almost identical to Benitez's but half of Benitez' time was in the Championship. Rafa is a hero and Bruce is a villain.
Newcastle suffer from the worst case of what a lot of clubs have - they are expected to be massively successful whilst playing like Brazil in 1970 and that is magnified by the fans. The city of Newcastle loves that football club and are desperate for success and look at other clubs that they believe they are equal to or bigger who have much more success.
One of my favourite phrases, you don't get a single point for your average attendance or number of season ticket holders, was made for Newcastle.
And here's a word of warning: if you think Man Utd and Liverpool fans are insufferable, wait until Newcastle get some some success!

Whoever gets the manager's job it's a poisonous chalice. They'll inherit a team built on the shoestrings of Ashley, and regardless of what they spend in January catch-up is hard in the prem. 4th from the bottom will be a success if they are lucky.

You’d expect Norwich and Watford to be relegated. Leeds desperately need to keep Llorente, Phillips and Raphinha fit. Southampton could be dragged into it if Armstrong doesn’t start firing.

I saw the stat about Rafa. For what it’s worth, I rate Rafa but I guess the reason he sticks out for the shirtless wonders is they’ll regard a promotion to the premier league (ignoring the vast sums of cash, premiership players/facilities and European cup winning manager) as success…let’s face it, they haven’t really ever had any. Whoever is in charge of Newcastle is on a hiding to nothing, dodgy ownership or not… As for being insufferable, they already were/are. Surely there isn’t w soul that doesn’t just laugh when Newcastle fans have banged on forever and a day about being a big club? Scousers and Utd fans get on your mammaries but in their defence, both clubs have literally won the lot, multiple times over a number of years…Newcastle have won as much as town in the last 40 years…

Croydon Metropolitan Police are investigating whether the Crystal Palace banner on the link below is racist.
It’s not.
So please go and investigate paedophilic Prince Andrew properly instead.

To be fair to the Rossers if someone reports it they have to look at it, and BTW I don’t disagree with you.

I’ve emailed The Met Police Complaints Dept but have received an automated response warning that ‘vexatious’ emails may not be responded to. I suspect that The Met consider Royal Family paedophilia to be a vexatious topic so I am not expecting a response. Unlike the tool who complained about a truthful banner at a football stadium and is probably being fawned over by The Met like an underage victim at one of Andrew’s parties.
