Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce says it's business as usual as the club remains in takeover talks.
There is still hope of the Saudi-backed group being cleared to buy the club from Mike Ashley.
When asked if he had been given any message from the powers that be on the takeover going through, Bruce said: "No, my job is to carry on and I'll carry on to the best of my ability.
"It's not easy, it's what I've got to do, though."
And in a follow up question, Bruce was then asked if he had been told there were certain targets he wasn't able to move for.
He said: "No, no, no. We carry on as best we can."
