Newcastle United’s dismal 3-0 defeat at Arsenal on Monday evening extended their winless run to nine games and cranked up the pressure on manager Steve Bruce.
The result left the Magpies 15th in the Premier League, seven points above Fulham who have a game in hand in the final relegation place.
The defeat was the final straw for supporters’ group Toon for Change, who demanded the immediate removal of Bruce as manager after the game.
“Steve Bruce described the Newcastle United manager role as his dream job, but under his leadership – this season is becoming a nightmare for supporters,” Toon For Change’s Joe Chilcott told the Shields Gazette.
