Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce says rumours about his future are becoming "tedious".

Bruce has exceeded expectations by comfortably keeping Newcastle away from the bottom three.

His long-term future may be linked to whether the proposed change of ownership from Mike Ashley to Saudi Arabia backers takes place.

"These decisions have to be made," he says.

"It seems to be now becoming tedious and we need the people who are making the decisions to make them and be quick about it."
