Amanda Staveley has said on Sky Sports News (7:06pm, October 7, 2021) the plan regarding Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce.
As announced on Newcastle’s official website today, an investment group led by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and also comprising PCP Capital Partners and RB Sports & Media, has competed the takeover of Newcastle.
British financier Staveley is a founder of PCP Capital Partners and will have a seat on the Newcastle board, as reported by The Guardian.
The 48-year-old has said that no decision has been made on the future of Bruce, and that there will be a full review of everything at the club.
Staveley said: “We are very supporting of Steve. We have spoken to him. What we are going to do is not talk about managers, not talk about signings we can make at the moment.
“We are going to do a review right through the football operations. We are going to do a review of all the commercial side of the club, and we are going to come back and make a decision.”
Should Steve Bruce worry?
With new owners coming in, one can understand why some could think that Bruce could go.
Bruce has done relatively well with the players he has at his disposal, but his footballing style has not been very inspiring.
Newcastle will hope to kick on now that they have new owners, and Bruce’s future will come under scrutiny.
The new owners will want to invest in new signings and have a manager who can deliver the goods.
Now, Bruce is a good manager, but is he good enough to eventually take the team to the Champions League or to win the Premier League title?
It will be very interesting to see what happens with Bruce’s future under new owners.
