Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has stated that he is not ready to leave the club despite the tough test.
Talksports pundit Simon Jordan revealed that he advised the former Crystal palace boss to quit Newcastle.
Bruce stated ahead of the Premier League match against Leeds United that his family has questioned his decision.
Bruce said: “My family think I’m a bit sick because I never really think about those things when you’re up against it.
“Look, it’s a challenge at the minute. I’ve said now since I walked through the door two years ago, I’m not going to be everybody’s cup of tea, but I will, with my experience, hope that I can keep the club just ticking along and make sure that the club stays where it is and we maintain our Premier League status.
“I know for a lot of people – and there’s the frustration – we should be better than that. That’s where we are at the moment and we have been for a while, and that’s everybody’s frustration.
“I want Newcastle to be at the top of the league, so that frustration is there. But I don’t think about, ‘Oh, the noise is too bad, walk away, Steve’.
“That’s not in my nature when it gets tough. It’s not in my nature to walk away from something when we’re in a fight. ‘Oh, it’s too difficult so I’m going to walk away’, that doesn’t really register with me.”
