The Mirror reports that Graeme Jones is set to take charge of the clash with Tottenham as caretaker. In fact, it is claimed that he could be in the role for a few weeks.

Newcastle fans will welcome change of direction with Bruce reportedly set to be replaced as manager

It is probably not going to do anyone any favours if Bruce remains in charge of Newcastle much longer.
