Newcastle: Steve Bruce says he has tried to 'keep respect dignity' amid job speculation

Steve Bruce says he has tried to "keep my respect and dignity" following Newcastle's takeover - and there have been "no discussions" on his future.

On Friday, new part-owner Amanda Staveley confirmed Bruce will stay in charge for Newcastle's Premier League game against Tottenham on Sunday.

Staveley said Bruce, who will celebrate his 1,000th game as a manager, will be the "first to know" if things change.

Bruce admitted preparations for the game "have not been easy".

The Magpies are winless this season and lie second bottom in the league, but a number of managers have been linked with the job this past week including Leicester's Brendan Rodgers, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and assistant Graeme Jones.
