I know I’d rather have four cameras or even four candlesPennies that man, think it’s about the same figure our new owner paid for our 4 camera footage

They'll inexplicably sell Bruce to Tottenham for 40m in the summer, and then spend 90% of that money buying all of the other managers in the Championship. #netspend

Steve Bruce on four camera footage. Not a great thought mind

And a 10 mill loss of earnings payment to "Ye old Sheffield Pie Shop"

That's unreal form. What was the form for Allardyce, Di Canio, Advocaat for the seasons they took over with few games to go?

I did Geno. Bruce has doubled in that time
Geno
Central Defender
He's doubled his weight since then so price seems fair

10 games including playing all your relagation rivals was more than enough.We could go round and round for ages here. Benitez did well, but not enough and we were relegated under his watch. Had McClaren been sacked after the Chelsea hammering and Benitez brought in with a little more time, we might have had enough to stay up, who knows?
The aim, it seems, is to get a Newcastle fan to blame Benitez for our relegation. Which is silly, because there are much bigger factors which lead to our second relegation. The owner, and the previous manager chief among them. You say Benitez had 10 games to save our season, McClaren had 28. Where's the blame for him? Why do you focus on the 1.3PpG Benitez won, instead of the 0.85PpG that McClaren managed?
Oh, that's right, it's because the Newcastle fans liked Benitez, so sunderland fans must insist he's over-rated/to blame, and we didn't like McClaren so sunderland fans must insist he's underrated/not to blame.
Well it was followed by a really enjoyable season in the Championship, where we won lots of games, and got promoted as Champions at the first time of asking, then a 10th placed finish in the top flight.
Tell me, how'd you enjoy the 16/17 season in the Premier League, and the season that followed in the Championship, and the season in League 1 that followed that?
As you say, it wasn't Benitez's fault you were relegated. So it won't be Bruce's fault this year then?
Never mentioned Super Steve McLaren so I dunno what you're on about.

Would absolutely love them to buy Inter and go out buying M'Bappe, Neymar etc.
Then again, they won't be arsed. They're only apparently bothered about the regional investment
