Former Aston Villa striker Tony Cascarino says Steve Bruce should leave Newcastle United.

Newcastle are on a woeful run that has seen them lose their last five games in all competitions, which included a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Cascarino said: "I first started football and I was with Brucey at Gillingham and I liked him. I loved him as a man, I loved him as a footballer because of his fearless attitude.

"I'd like him to resign. I say that as a friend, I think you're at the wrong football club. It's the right football club for you, but it's the wrong time. You've got an owner that is hated, you are not going to be successful in any shape or form.

"The fans are against you, and I feel for him. I don't mean it like resigning is a weakness. I think in this case it would be a strength because no-one's working at that football club."

Cascarino added that it would be difficult for any manager to thrive at Newcastle in the current circumstances.

He said: "It's no a coincidence that everybody before and everybody afterwards is going to be finding the same issues, because the ownership of the club is in free-fall. There is no direction from upstairs."
