Newcastle could hire Mourinho after £300m takeover

Steve Bruce has reacted wearily to a potential takeover of Newcastle United, telling the press that: “It’s an on-going saga, isn’t it? Until it’s bona fide. 

I think people are saying ‘here we go again’." The reaction comes as Peter Kenyon aims to raise £300 million for a takeover of the club and could install Jose Mourinho in as boss as he waits on the sidelines, the Mirror writes. 

***If Kenyon arrived at Newcastle following his time at Chelsea and Newcastle, and backed his manager with huge transfer funds, then Mourinho would be an ideal chequebook manager. However there have been talks before this that went nowhere with Mike Ashley, so it is probably wise on Bruce’s part not to read too much into it.
