Luke Edwards has provided an update on Steve Bruce and his position as manager of Newcastle United.
The Telegraph journalist says Bruce is still safe at St James’ Park and it doesn’t seem likely that this will change any time soon, despite fans clearly not being happy with this state of affairs.
Bruce helped Newcastle survive last season, but it looks like it could be another long campaign of fighting for survival in the Premier League.
There’s no doubt the Magpies have not made much progress in recent times, and Bruce’s style of play leaves a lot to be desired, though Edwards points out that consistently attacking the manager could backfire for the fans as it will only create even more negativity at the club…
Newcastle fans’ reaction to this will be interesting, but they’ll surely hope they can continue to do their bit to get Bruce out, even if it means a short-term loss of form.
Whether it works or not is another thing…
