Bruce remains in the dark over Newcastle future
Newcastle United boss, Steve Bruce, has yet to hold talks with the club about his future.
The Amanda Staveley-led consortium is finalising the remaining details before officially confirming the purchase of the club from Mike Ashley.
And the Daily Star reports that Bruce still does not know if he will be in charge next season.
The 59-year-old has helped the Magpies perform an unlikely escape this season, as they were near certainties for relegation when he took over from Rafa Benitez.
They are currently 13th and eight points clear of the drop zone.
But the Saudi Arabia-funded consortium may have its own ideas about who to install as manager when the takeover is complete.
Bruce may be moved aside to fit a more high profile appointment into the position.
