Steve Bruce: Newcastle boss retains support of owner Mike Ashley despite dismal run

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce still has the support of owner Mike Ashley despite a poor defeat by fellow Premier League strugglers Brighton on Saturday.

There have been further calls for Bruce to quit from fans after a record of two wins in 18 Premier League games.

Newcastle winger Ryan Fraser said "the mood is the lowest it's been" and the club "need to save our season".

The Magpies have nine games left to play, one more than 18th-placed Fulham.

But their run-in includes matches against Tottenham, West Ham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester and Manchester City, before a final-day trip to Fulham, who could have fans at Craven Cottage by then.
