For the sake of not bunging Benitez 50 to 100 million which is peanuts in the Premier league Ashley lost a good manger who could given time actually done something for the club as well being the first manger since Keegan that those fickle Geordie fans have liked :smiley:

I agree with the first part, but you’re forgetting Sir Bobby, arguably our best ever manager (who was sacked for ‘only’ finishing 3rd was it :open_mouth: ).and Alan Shearer who managed on an interim basis for last few games of 08/09 season…both loved by us ‘‘fickle fans’’ :smiley:

But what about Chris Houghton he did a good job under the circumstances but despised by the fans? To be fair until Ashley is gone the club will never reach it’s full potential the clubs that are currently doing well seem to have settled regimes in charge and using a mixture of youth development and good transfers deals neither of which is happening at Newcastle
