    Higher Prem win %, and kept a club in the Prem for 5 years. Bruce generally lasts 1 or 2 seasons before he's sacked or got his team relegated.

    So, using that rationale, Benitez is worse than both of them because he failed to keep you in the Prem?

    Well no, cos Benitez came in with 10 games to go, and would comfortably kept us with a similar ratio across the whole season that he got from those 10 games, and then comfortably kept us up twice after that.

    That's what he's on about.

    But the lad at school who told him didn't know much history, so he made some up.

    He should have kept you up regardless. Games in hand, plus home games against relegation rivals.

    I don't buy this narrative that "McLaren relegated us" because 10 points from 9 games (discounting the Spurs game when you were already down) is a joke for a supposed "werld class manaja"

    Obviously not you knacker. Howe is the best in the business and is only on the dole because he was waiting for a massive club to come in. Unai who?

    seeing excuses on f/book already, if howe fails it is because of the state Ashley left the club in...how many years will it take to be able to stop blaming Ashley and bruce.

    yeh we wanted Mr Short to sell and were pleased he did, he put plenty of money in but had no real football 'head' and employed others to do that side of things while he went home and in the end, the club was in a mess but i cannot remember sunderland fans continuing to give him sh1t, most appreciated what he tried to do and the money he put in.

    I'd rather be a Jock than a Mag. Wearside would probably get more funding from the Scots than we do from the Tyne and Tyne Council too.

    Did Rafa actually achieve anything more at Newcastle than Bruce did?

    Howe’s record in the transfer market is awful mind, he was backed very generously by Bournemouth and squandered most of it. They seemed to lurch from one injury crisis to another as well.

    You lot are ****ing hilarious like ! You can chuck all of the stats and manager/win ratio comparisons about all you like, the fact is we've got a manager in who you lot could only ****ing dream about. Regardless of whether it works out with him or not, in 3 years time we'll still be in the PL and hopefully on our way to challenging a top 6 finish every season....your lot will still be ****ing languishing in the turd division still trying to tunnel your way out, and maybe another slice of the pizza cup if you're really really lucky !!
