talkSPORT pundit says Steve Bruce 'deserves a chance' as Newcastle boss following takeover
Since Newcastle United’s takeover was completed last week, a host of top managers have been linked with Steve Bruce’s job after a difficult start to the season for the Magpies.
The former Sunderland boss arrived on Tyneside in 2019 and has failed to impress so far, however talkSPORT pundit and former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor believes Newcastle's new owners should give Bruce a chance to prove himself.

“See what players he can bring in to help this squad of players and then see how it pans out over the course of the season.”
