Newcastle United next manager: Unai Emery favourite to replace Steve Bruce

Newcastle United sacked Steve Bruce last month after a series of miserable performances in the Premier League and the Magpies are thought to be keen on appointing the former Arsenal manager Unai Emery as his replacement.

The new owners are thought to be keen on improving the playing squad as well. Newcastle have made a disastrous start to their Premier League campaign and they are currently 19th in the league table with six defeats and four draws in 10 league matches.  A club of their stature will be expected to perform a lot better and the new owners cannot afford to let Newcastle go back down to the championship this season.  The Magpies are...
