Newcastle United currently find themselves in a perilous position in the Premier League, with the Magpies sitting just two points out of the relegation zone at the time of writing. 

As a result of their recent struggles, the pressure has fallen down hard on the shoulders of manager Steve Bruce, who continues to take flack from various angles.

With the club's players now returning from the international break, the North East club will be seeking to get back to winning way in the league as they gear up to take on Tottenham Hotspur at home on Sunday.

The fixture list has, however, not been at all kind on Bruce's men, with impending games against the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham offering little hope of some welcome points.

In the meantime, we have devised a list of the top 10 best ever Newcastle managers according to PPG with the help of Transfermarkt.

A well respected manager and player during his heyday, Dalglish managed the Toon for 73 games.

A popular figure during his time at the club, Benitez earned a strong PPG during his time with the club and has been wanted back by the fans since his departure.

An experienced head who has managed at various levels of the English football pyramid, Pearson once took charge of the club for just seven days.

Lee managed Newcastle during the 70s and racked up a decent PPG over the course of his 47 games at the helm.

A fierce pundit and manager, Souness enjoyed 513 days at the helm of the North East club and picked up a strong PPG record along the way.

Roeder spent 73 matches in charge of the club and recorded a respectable PPG record along the way.

The late Bobby Robson makes it to fourth place on our list and remains a legend at the club.

Keegan is a legend amongst the fans and during his time in charge of the club picked up a solid PPG record.

Hughton continues to be a highly respected manager at Football League level and makes it to second on our list for his strong spell with the Toon.

Making it to the top of our list is Suggett whose PPG may deceive many. He has a rating of 3.00 because he won his only game in charge of the club!
