1: to carry out fully : put completely into effect execute a command

So if they’ve carried out fully on the ‘good plan’, then that means the plan must’ve been to lose by not too many goals. So yes, it is a silly statement.

Anyway, you’re completely missing the point why we take the piss out of, and pull you’s up, on Benitez. It’s because of the fact you’s hero worshipped him, for doing a mediocre job, in a dreary manner.
And all because you’s thought his past achievements some how made you’s big time.

We supported Benitez because he stopped the rot and provided a solid foundation from which to grow. And as time went on the football was becoming less negative as he added some attacking players to his solid defence. The Championship season, the first season back, then his last season, you could see the plan and you could see improvement. It helped that he said the right things, and was patently wanting more for Newcastle than the owner does. But despite being told we'd rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0 the fans got behind his football (as we did Hughton's similar style). Despite being told we demanded Champions League football nobody was complaining about midtable finishes.

By the way, that 'mediocre' job was to get us promoted as champions in his first full season. How many relegated clubs bounce back immediately? How many as Champions? Well, a quick google says:
Only two sides – Fulham and Newcastle – have managed it (immediate return) in the last four seasons and just seven have done so in the last 10.

The statistics also show that relegated teams have to be prepared to go all the way – the Magpies and

have gone up as champions in the last decade, but West Ham, QPR, Norwich, Hull and Fulham all did it the hard way by winning the play-off final.

I mean, we've bounced back immediately as Champions, but it's not common, is it? If it was such an easy job, why isn't it more common? Why didn't Bruce do it with a bigger budget in the same season? Instead of finishing midtable. Why didn't you do it? Given it's such a mediocre feat?

The reason you take the piss out of us is because you're the local rivals and have to find something. Hence the infamous "Mag at Work" trope, the "All Geordies think X" schtick, "Yous only liked Benitez because he won trophies elsewhere", "You only don't support Bruce because he's not Benitez". It's bollocks and you know it.

I'm not at all. We were hard to beat under Benitez, we were hard to beat under Hughton. We were easy to beat under McClaren and are easy to beat under Bruce. But football is unpredictable, so even shit managers like McClaren and Bruce can win games.
