Steve Bruce doesn’t appear to be in immediate danger of losing his Newcastle United job, but Chris wilder appears to be keen on his spot.
Bruce is under immense pressure from Newcastle fans as the Magpies still seek a first Premier League win of the season.
Losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday has really left fans angry, but Mike Ashley is seemingly sticking by Bruce.
The Chronicle claim that Ashley doesn’t want to incur the cost of sacking Bruce and his staff, so he will stay for a while yet.

Others believe he can really unite Newcastle again, just as he did at Sheffield United…
