Steve Bruce reveals why he was sacked by Newcastle after Saudi takeover

He said: “I wanted so badly to make it work.

“I was so proud to be manager of Newcastle United, even in the dark times, I was determined to keep going and to keep this club in the Premier League.”

Manager Steve Bruce has left Newcastle United by mutual consent just 13 days after the Saudi Arabia-backed £305m takeover of the club was completed.

Bruce said there had been “highs and lows” and that he hoped the new owners could “take the club forward”. Graeme Jones will take interim charge of the Premier League side. Newcastle said the appointment of a new manager “will be announced in due course”. Bruce is understood to have received in the region of £8m after his contract was paid up in full.
