Amanda Staveley has refused to comment on whether Newcastle United will move on from Steve Bruce.

Staveley is part of the consortium who have completed a £305m takeover of the Magpies.

Asked if she had the chance to speak with Bruce, she told Sky Sports: "I did speak to the manager and say hello and introduce ourselves. We look forward to speaking to him over the next few days. There's an international break so I think everybody is just relieved to have some rest before the Tottenham game."

Asked about Bruce's future, she said: "We're very supportive of Steve and we've spoken to him. What we're going to do is not talk about managers or what big signings we can make. We're going to do a review right through the football operations, of the commercial side as well, and come back and make some decisions."

When pushed further on whether Bruce would be in charge against Tottenham next weekend, she added: "I'm not even able to talk about anything as to players or managers at this stage."
