Ex-Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan, upon talking to Bruce, has claimed the Magpies are planning to spend big in the transfer market, and that Mike Ashley had his newest appointment get on very well.

“I spoke to Steve earlier on the week, he’s very aware of the fact the perception is he is going to be Ashley’s puppet,” said Jordan on talkSPORT.

“He’s very aware there is a backlash, however, let’s be clear the backlash is mostly against Ashley, not Steve Bruce. Whoever Ashley brought in there would have been an element of backlash to it.

“But my understanding from Steve is that he got on very well with Ashley.
