Newcastle Chronicle have piled the pressure on Steve Bruce after dedicating both their front and back page to the ongoing crisis at St James' Park.
In a damning editorial, the club's local paper urge under-fire Bruce to 'do the honourable thing and walk away', after creating what they describe as an 'almighty mess'.
The Magpies are in serious danger of relegation from the top flight and the Chronicle, who have had a difficult relationship with the club down the years, have now stuck the boot in as Bruce clings on to his job.
Last time out, Newcastle were thrashed 3-0 by fellow relegation rivals Brighton, meaning they sit just two points off the drop zone.
