# Newcastle United: Source reveals details of Graeme Jones and Dwight Gayle bust-up

**A source from Newcastle United has now revealed some details of a bust-up at the training ground involving Graeme Jones and Dwight Gayle.**

### The Lowdown: All is not rosy

All is certainly not rosy in the garden at St. James’ Park at the moment, as [The Athletic](https://theathletic.co.uk/2818272/2021/09/10/newcastle-manchester-united-score-2/) reported that some people within the North East club ‘weren’t impressed’ by Steve Bruce taking part of the international break off to go on holiday.

As cited by [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9981313/Newcastle-boss-Steve-Bruce-responds-ANGRILY-defeat-Man-Utd-questioned-future.html), Bruce snapped after he was asked by the media if he heard the away fans calling for his head after his team’s 4-1 away defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

### The Latest: Bust-up

As per [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9999255/Newcastle-striker-Dwight-Gayle-involved-training-scrap-assistant-manager-Graeme-Jones.html), a source has now shared details of a training ground bust-up between Jones and Gayle, during which Jamaal Lascelles had to get in between them to break it up:

*“There was a head-to-head after a disagreement. Jones said, “It’s always about you, Gayley”. Dwight wasn’t having it and said, “It’s been all about you since you’ve been with England.”*

### The Verdict: Worrying

It certainly is a worrying sign that a senior member of staff and a player would be involved in a heated exchange like this one at any football club, let alone on Tyneside, where the mood is already so fragile.

The Magpies have not gotten off to a good start at all so far this season, sitting in 19th spot in the top-flight table with just one point and no wins from their first four league matches ([Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/tables)).

Nonetheless, everything has to be put behind them now as they need to focus on getting a result at home against Leeds United.
