What do we think?
Former Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez was popular with Magpies supporters during his time at the club, with fans reacting angrily to the news that he would be leaving St. James’ Park last summer. With that in mind, it may be understandable why these Magpies fans have flocked to this post to compare the Spaniard with current Newcastle boss Bruce, following Shelvey’s claim that training and standards at the club have actually improved under the current Magpies manager.
