Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has still not spoken to the club's new owners since Sunday.

The Magpies coach is seen as a dead man walking at the club.

Bruce is likely to get the sack this week or next week, depending on whether Newcastle can line up a replacement.

The Daily Star suggests Bruce is still in the dark about his future, as no one from the club's new leadership has spoken to him this week.

He knows there is no long-term future for him at the club, but would prefer clarity about the owners' short-term plans.
