Bruce was unveiled last Wednesday, 48 hours after he resigned from the Owls, along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence.

Wednesday insisted some legal issues were still outstanding when Bruce's appointment was announced and have now registered their discontent at Newcastle's behaviour with the governing body.
