“Mixed? Nobody wanted him” – Many Newcastle fans cannot believe what Jonjo Shelvey has claimed in his latest interview.
After Newcastle’s 1-0 win over West Ham, in which Shelvey played a starring role, he was interviewed by Sky Sports about Steve Bruce.
Shelvey claimed, “The fans need to give him a chance” and if they do that Newcastle will “do well week-in, week-out and then they won’t have any reason for complaint.”
Of course, one of the reasons Shelvey has said these things is probably due to the fact he believes that he will get a chance to show what he is capable of – something Shelvey perhaps thought he couldn’t do under Rafael Benitez.
The reaction to Steve Bruce’s appointment from a lot of Newcastle fans has been negative, and not many have taken too kindly to Shelvey’s interview either.
