Newcastle United managing director Lee Charnley met with Sheffield Wednesday manager Steve Bruce on Wednesday night to discuss appointing the 58-year-old as Rafa Benitez’s successor at Saint James’ Park, according to The Sun.
The club want to wrap up a deal for the former Sunderland boss before Saturday, and a lot of Newcastle fans are disappointed with Charnley for opting for Bruce.
The Magpies chief recently just returned to England after spending time in Europe talking with a host of agents and contacts, with the club looking for a manager and players.
Newcastle have seemingly settled for the former Aston Villa boss, and here is how some fans reacted to the decision on Twitter:
Charnley and Ashley must be the ONLY ones that actually want Bruce as a manager – shame
