Mysterious new manager brought on by the new American owner apparently 

 

Darren Moore in the end. I think he's a perfectly decent Championship manager but is he really that much of an upgrade on Uncle Neil?

Had to turn this off about 2 mins in. Yet more unadulterated, unchallenged, bullshit that this fat cunt is able to get away with.

Wish he'd just fuck off forever, the disgusting waste of space. Cunt of a bloke.

This interview is so one sided, literally ignoring many key parts of the criticism. Funny how Jordan always accuse everyone else of having biases, then delivers highly biased interviews like this. Wasn't he the one who were having a go at Piers Morgan because he wasn't being critical enough with Ronaldo in his interview?

Now Simon Jordan is saying that it was just a media narrative that Steve Bruce played bad football with dinosaur tactics, and that the only reason we liked Benitez more was because he dared to challenge Ashley. Oh, and by the way, lets bring up the difference in spending between Howe and Bruce, while also ignoring the difference in spending between Bruce and Benitez.[emoji38]

 

Simon Jordan talking like a Newcastle expert when he clearly didn't even watch our games under Bruce.. Just making assumptions and present them as facts, while creating false narratives himself.. Honestly most people in here could be doing punditry better than these lot, the level is just really low..

As much as I’m hated for saying it - he’s not wrong. Benitez played arguably worse football

I don't know. I remember stats saying we were 20th in the league in both chances created and chances against under Bruce. A miracle we stayed up, and in the last full season we played way better after Graeme Jones came in, and went from 19th to 13th or something like that. Never seen a Bruce team play like that. Coincidence? Right before this we had parked the bus against Sheffield United, giving them their first win of the season (halfway through), just inviting them into our box the entire game.

:lol: such bollocks man, just total rubbish. Even if it was true, which it isn't by a long shot, it completely ignores the context. Literally the only argument you can make in favour of that position is that ASM existed when Bruce was manager, which of course he had nothing to do with.

 

There was the odd bit of backs to the wall stuff under Rafa but the team was drilled properly and had tactical definition. We won the Championship scoring 100 goals in the process and there was some really nice stuff in the two second halves of each respective PL season. There was a sign of a team making progress on the pitch, despite everything. Meanwhile under Bruce we were on a downward curve from the word go which was seriously accelerating by the time he left. 

 

It's hilarious how Bruce, or anyone defending him, will point to his apparent achievements re keeping us up when it took an Eddie Howe miracle to prevent us from a Bruce-manufactured relegation. 

 

It's amusing also that Jordan would say we only preferred Rafa cos he challenged Ashley. :lol: Er, yeah - that was a big part of it, aye. Bravo on not understanding the context if you're using that as a defence of Bruce.

Both styles of play weren’t easy on the eye. Benitez’s at least was organised. 
 

bruce’s was an absolute mess and the game plan evolved mainly around giving it to ASM and hope he can conjure up some magic. We scored less and conceded more under Bruce. Not sure how that’s better than the bloke he replaced.

Pragmatic football as you build something is perfectly acceptable. When I watched us under Rafa it wasn’t always pretty but I felt the team had a plan and a project that most of the players bought into. 
 

Bruceball just felt like floating from match to match hoping we’d get positive result or that the tactic of defend deep and pass to Maxi would work.

And when that didnt work - he'd sub off the midfield and bring on all the forwards on the bench.

I think people deliberately forget the last six months of Rafa's time with us too.

I kind of don't care that much anymore, but Simon Jordan is getting on my nerves. Having strong opinions about things he doesn't have a clue about, making assumptions, and talking as if he's an expert. At the same time as he attacks other people for seemingly having agendas and biases, not getting facts straight, and mindlessly swallowing media narratives. Which is exactly what he is doing in this case. The least you should expect is for him to get his facts straight, or do some basic fact checking.
