Newcastle United fans have been reacting to comments Gary Neville made about Steve Bruce on Monday Night Football last night.
The pundit was talking about the Magpies and the takeover along with Jamie Carragher.
As things currently stand, Bruce remains in his job.
Newcastle remain without a victory so far this season, and there was an expectation that the new owners were going to sack Bruce before the Tottenham Hotspur game.
That didn’t happen, and the 60-year-old was allowed to oversee his 1000th game as a manager.
Speculation has again been rife about his position today.
Gary Neville gives take on Steve Bruce on MNF
In the eyes of Neville, Bruce is somewhat in limbo at the moment.
He blasted the treatment of the former Manchester United defender.
Speaking before Arsenal vs Crystal Palace, he said: “I think this thing now with Steve Bruce is totally wrong.
“Honestly, if this was any other walk of life, it would be classed as employment abuse. The employer would be in serious trouble.
“You’ve got to show and demonstrate decency. That’s not just these owners it’s the one before who had him as a lamb to the slaughter.
“I’m not talking about the criticism from the Newcastle fans, I’m talking about the ongoing situation, the leaks, the things that have happened in the last week, two weeks, four weeks, six weeks. It is not fair on a brilliant man.”
The lack of speed on a decision on Bruce could be down to the fact that the takeover ended up going through quite quickly in the end.
Given the awful form of the team, it is not ideal that a decision has not yet been reached.
