Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has said that he would love to continue in his role at St James' Park should the club's proposed Saudi Arabian takeover go through, with the 59-year-old of the opinion that he can challenge the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City if given the right players.
A £300 million ($366m) buy-over, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was agreed with current owner Mike Ashley last month but is still awaiting approval from the Premier League.
Should the bid be given the green light following the owners and directors' test, however, Bruce has backed himself to lead the Magpies into the future, with reports having circulated that former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been earmarked for the job.
