Hull City manager Steve Bruce is said to be 'interested' in joining Newcastle United, according to reports on Tyneside today.
The Evening Chronicle in Newcastle quotes sources claiming Bruce would be keen to talk to Newcastle United officials if current boss Alan Pardew moves to Crystal Palace as expected.
The Chronicle's chief sports writer Lee Ryder says Bruce, a Geordie and boyhood United fan, would be prepared to work for controversial owner Mike Ashley.
He is also said to have a good relationship with Newcastle chief scout Graham Carr who identifies and approves signing targets.
However, the paper says Bruce’s appointment 'may not go down well' with some sections of the United support due to his links with arch rivals Sunderland, who he managed.
It also points out that Bruce was with Manchester United during his playing days when the Red Devils and the Magpies were once bitter rivals for the Premier League title.
However, despite the report, also carried later in the Daily Mail Bruce is known to hold Hull City owner Assem Allam in very high regard and the pair have a close relationship.
He has always maintained that he is happy with his position in Hull and, until City's current run of poor performances, was regarded as one of the most secure managers in Britain.
Three other names are in the frame for Newcastle; Tony Pulis, Tim Sherwood and current club captain Fabricio Coloccini.
Pulis has not worked since quitting Crystal Palace at the start of the season and is a friend if Pardew, and former Tottenham Hotspur manager Sherwood, sacked by Spurs at the end of last season, was in the running for the Palace job before Pardew's move emerged.
