The Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) has urged manager Steve Bruce to resign.

The group has revealed that 94.3 per cent of its members are in favour of Bruce leaving and has urged the club to take immediate action.

Newcastle are 19th in the Premier League after seven matches without victory.

A NUST statement read: "Following a seventh straight Premier League game without a win, eight in all competitions, and with just seven wins in the last 37, there was clear anger growing amongst the away end at Wolverhampton on Saturday, and this anger is reflected across all social media channels, podcasts, and websites.

"We asked our members if they believed Steve Bruce should resign in the best interests of Newcastle United, and from over 5,000 responses in a 12-hour period? A resounding 94.3 per cent said yes.

"The board of The Newcastle United Supporters Trust strongly encourages Newcastle United and manager Steve Bruce to listen to the fans."
