Newcastle interim boss Graeme Jones expressed sadness following Bruce's exit.

Bruce's time as manager came to an end on Wednesday, less than two weeks after the club was taken over by a Saudi-led consortium.

"Initially it was one of upset if I am being honest because I had a great working relationship with Steve," said Jones. "He is a good man.

"You never want to be in and around that in football because it means it has not worked. Initially on Wednesday it was difficult, this is true.

"But we all know the speed of football and how quickly it needs to move on because if you miss a day or you miss a training session, you are not as prepared as you could be for tomorrow's game."
