Steve Bruce Leaves Newcastle Soccer

[Mouth]

Manager Steve Bruce has left Newcastle United by mutual consent just 13 days after the Saudi Arabia-backed £305m takeover of the Premier League side was completed.

Newcastle United can confirm that Steve Bruce has left his position as head coach by mutual consent. The club would like to place on record it's gratitude to Steve for his contribution and wishes him well for the future.

The man deserved more respect for keep them up in a Mike Ashley regime, but ultimately he was never going to be the person to manage a team of superstars going into the future.

Poor bloke looked a mess on Sunday, put out of his misery (and a big wad of cash).

Leaves with an £8 million payoff apparently!

Time to fly off to warmer climates and enjoy the sunset every night, Steve.

Who needs to put up with the endless abuse the self-entitled best supporters in the world gave him constantly.

Bruce did a decent job in difficult circumstances and he is actually a Newcastle fan. Their fans never forgave him for once managing Sunderland. The trouble is he's a journeyman not an elite manager so he had to go.

I've read that they have a new shortlist - Lucien Favre, Eddie Howe and Paulo Fonseca.

Really sad statement from Bruce.

Got a lot of shit but managed to keep them around mid-table with such a poor squad. They obviously have bigger plans going forward but yeah he was treated like dirt.

Nice payoff and retirement for Bruce at least.

Unai Emery is under serious consideration for the Newcastle United vacancy, with the club wanting to have a manager in place by the weekend.
