You're the dumbest poster this forum has ever seen and that's saying something.

Rafa hasn’t been a good manager for a decade and has made his recent career off of falling out with the ownership. It’s why he went to Newcastle in the first place and also why no big clubs were in for him when he left Newcastle. He’s a clown.

Seriously sack Bruce and bring in anyone else, this is atrocious
whether bruce magically gets to safety or gets relegated doesn't matter. Ashley either sticks with a loser or hires another one happy to attempt to scrape by. Seemingly no amount of relegations will disabuse him of the notion that this is a good way to run a football club.

None. He’s a turd who’s been turning in bad performances for a decade and walking down the ladder in terms of prestige until he wound up managing in China. Why would a big club want him?

think what you were trying to say is that when rafa was available no "big" clubs needed a manager, but if it plays into your weird fantasy of rafa being a poo poo manager then get in lad

fact is if rafa was in charge of this team we wouldn't have been turned over 5-0. even in games where we had players sent off under rafa we never looked as poo poo as we have under bruce, and never did we get turned over by such a scoreline, and certainly nowt like the 3-1 battering we had to a newly promoted side a few games ago

I’m thinking we may have a season where all three promoted teams stay up.

Watford and Newcastle are dire and really Brighton or Southampton should go down. Southampton shouldn’t but they have a squad that on paper could finish top half but they’re terrible. Brighton, lads it’s Brighton.

Villa are bad and should go down. Norwich can play but also every team they’ve played in the league has scored two or more goals against them except Newcastle (lol). If they can sort that out they’ll stay up, otherwise not.

Rafa is the greatest.

I don't know how good or bad Bruce actually is, but Ashley and the others at the club seem to be really incompetent so it doesn't look good for Newcastle.

I'm not looking forward to facing Leicester. The Brodge will have the players psyched up for the match.

I love Rafa, he played negative tactics but cared about the team and city, and in doing so endeared himself to Newcastle fans.

Bruce was good (or at least competent) about 10-15 years ago. His methods haven't changed in that time though and football has moved on. He's loving poo poo now.

He pretty much has to start Torreira because this team falls apart without a DM. And he's too much of a stubborn dipshit to ever bench Xhaka or Guendouzi.
