20th most valuable club in the world and the best manager they can find is Steve Bruce? Fuck.
Bruce does make me laugh as well. How many times has he taken a job and then buggered off for a so called higher profile position less than a year later.
Him and Ashley are welcome to each other. Feel sorry for the fans though.
I don't rate Rafa as much as most people. And think he shafted the Newcastle fans, going off to China.
But I'll admit, this is a bit of a come down.
A bit?

Here is a list of the Newcastle United Managers who have managed 200 or more Premier League matches in their career, for NUFC and other clubs.

Like I said "a bit"
Shafted the Newcastle fans? He stayed with them against all odds even when they were playing in the Championship. He's stayed for much longer than most people expected him to given the situation. I don't think Newcastle fans hold any ill feelings towards him because it's completely understandable that he's decided his position is untenable at the club and he's taken them as far as anyone can while Ashley refuses to invest.
