According to Duncan Castles of the Transfer Window Podcast, the future of Newcastle United head coach Steve Bruce is in doubt following a run of two wins and two draws in his side’s last 13 Premier League games, and owner Mike Ashley has asked Rafa Benitez to step in and help keep the Magpies up.
The St. James’ Park outfit are currently a place and six points above relegation, and fans are scared that they could drop into the bottom three soon with 14 games still left to go.
Bruce is not popular with the Newcastle faithful, and with Ashley still very much keen on selling the club, the owner knows relegation will wipe around 50% off the club’s current value.
