Lads, how was Benitez able to get Newcastle playing pretty quickly with a host of new players?

The fact he is managing in the Championship is frankly staggering. Newcastle are incredibly lucky to have him and I doubt the Championship will see a manager of his caliber again in decades.He really is not a good comparison to make. He is an anomaly in this league.

The problem Bruce has created is having a pre season in the middle of the season. This was never going to work. However decisions to bring in new starters are not his alone. The club therefore need to give him time and space to mak it work.. the question is how much time and how much patience have we all got

I can't tell you how good it feels to open the Discussion forum and not see a pre-match thread up the top of the page. Such a relief.
