Newcastle United have been on the hunt for a new manager since Rafael Benitez departed at the expiry of his contract.
And while the Spanish manager found a new job in no time, the Magpies are still struggling to successfully identify a worthy successor.
The newest reports coming from Sky Sports’ Keith Downie suggest they’ve set Steve Bruce, former Aston Villa boss and current Sheffield Wednesday gaffer, as their number one target for the vacant position.
Bruce has lost just three times in 18 games in charge of the Owls, and Downie claims they are braced for an official approach from Newcastle for the 58 year-old.
The fans are completely against the swoop though, and one Villa fan’s tweet confirms pretty much all of the Toon Army’s worst fears, as he said he “wouldn’t wish that (Bruce) on my worst enemy”.
Newcastle fans clearly appreciated the honesty coming from a rival fan but they also couldn’t help but feel bad for what the future might have in store for them.
You can see some of their reactions in the tweets below…
