A tiny bit of perspective.
The last Newcastle United manager to take more points than Matthias Jaissle has in his opening 7 Premier League games was Alan Pardew, and he got the job at the end of 2010. #NUFC
And they can just keep on going. No enforced sales to ever worry about.
75 players signed since Sir Alex Ferguson left, and you'd be hard-pressed to name even FIVE who could be considered successful signings.

It’s going to be really interesting to see what level of club Howe ends up at next and how he’s received there because I’ve seen a lot of similar takes to this from Man Utd fans
I bet he’s absolutely licking his lips at the idea of playing with the great leader of men, Bruno Fernandes
Man Utd will reportedly revisit a deal for a Newcastle player in January ⚫⚪
The latest transfer rumours: bbc.in/3VZrNX4
Newcastle had 19 shots last night - the 4th most in any of our last 50 Premier League away games (Spurs 21 and Burnley 20 last season plus the 8-0 at Sheff U higher)
67.3% possession the highest in any of the last 50 (and probably a lot more)
Wasteful.
Newcastle have a lot of problems to address - the manager left well short by the quality of incoming players by the looks of it.
But the most pressing problem are those two centre halves. Botman can’t play football, always miscontrolling and slicing, whilst Thiaw looks soft
The Athletic has become an echo chamber for a few clubs in red. They’re totally oblivious to the wider picture.
It is a victory that will do nothing to quell the public anger that has grown and grown in the fortnight since Manchester City’s guilty judgment emerged.
It should be said that it was a poor first half from both sides, and the turning points were Ryan Gravenberch’s red and Erling Haaland’s unerring finish soon after.
Manchester City ended up knocking the ball around the pitch for fun as the beaten hosts tried to maintain some level of pride.
It also tells us a lot about a team that, in a footballing sense, is clearly still growing under Enzo Maresca.

“Anfield wired for maximum ferocity” as they show an old fella and his family holding some little red balloons 😂
Still - good news about their Manchester City banner
It took Bruno Fernandes 23 minutes to complete his first pass against Tottenham Hotspur — that's the longest he has ever had to wait to find a teammate in his Premier League career.

Six years ago today, Steve Bruce told the world that his footballing philosophy has always been to pick a team and ‘hope’ they win. Truly inspirational thinking from a real master of the game.
Listen to this without the pictures, and with that desperately-trying-not-to-be-Geordie accent and nonsense answers you might think it’s Steve Bruce.
His natural successor.
“Come on, that’s ridiculous.”
Michael Carrick wasn’t happy when asked if there was a lack of passion from #mufc in their first half vs Hull.
