Danny Murphy fires warning to Newcastle's new mega-rich owners over sacking Steve Buce because there is 'no-one better to steer the club away from their precarious position'

Danny Murphy has warned Newcastle United's new owners against sacking under-fire manager Steve Bruce - 'because no-one jumps out' who's better than him at dealing with a relegation battle.

The 60-year-old is set to be axed this week as Newcastle's new Saudi owners make their mark on the club they have purchased for £305million.

The St James' Park club are now under the control of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund with British businesswoman Amanda Staveley and her advisors tasked with finding a new manager.

But Murphy says the North East club already have the right man to steer the club in the right direction.
