Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce remains keen on the Newcastle United job.

The People says Bruce would quit Wigan in the summer if he is offered his dream job as Newcastle manager.

Latics boss Bruce is frustrated at seeing his star men being targeted by the big boys of European football.

He is also fed up with the struggle to attract new players and fears he has taken the club as far as he can, having saved them from relegation last season.

Close pals say Geordie Bruce regrets turning down the Toon job four years ago and has set his sights on taking over from Joe Kinnear at the end of the season.
