Newcastle United are in a much better place than 12 months ago - in fact that is probably an understatement. Their unambitious previous owner Mike Ashley has long since left St James' Park with Amanda Staveley and Jamie Reuben spearheading the new Saudi-backed board's exciting plans moving forward.
Steve Bruce - an unpopular choice among supporters when he was first appointed in last throes of his managerial career - is also gone and has been replaced with Eddie Howe, who feels like a much better fit for the Toon faithful. Although there is still room for improvement at Newcastle, the next step in the club's journey has to be closing that gap between the 11th place earned last season and the European spots.
Before a ball is kicked, ChronicleLive are asking supporters to let us know on a scale of zero to 100 just how happy they are with eight key areas of the club. It’s all a part of ' The Big Newcastle United Forum ', a new series that asks the big questions. You answer and we debate all of the goings on at SJP.
