Hull City manager Steve Bruce is reportedly interested in taking over as the manager of Newcastle United, if Alan Pardew leaves for Crystal Palace.
Pardew has been heavily linked with a move to the Eagles following the dismissal of Neil Warnock, and it has been reported that a deal is close to being agreed.
According to the Daily Mail, Bruce is keen to take over his boyhood club and he has a good relationship with Newcastle's chief scout Graham Carr.
The report goes on to claim that Tony Pulis, Tim Sherwood and Glenn Hoddle are all in the running for the job.
