Sheffield Wednesday have reported Newcastle United to the Premier League following the appointment of their former manager Steve Bruce and his coaching staff.
The Owls confirmed in a statement that it had reported the Magpies for the club's conduct in connection with Bruce, Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence leaving their roles at the Sheffield club to head to Tyneside.
Bruce resigned last week before being appointed as Rafa Benitez's replacement on Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday claim the Premier League will now 'carry out investigations' into the club's allegations and won't be making further comment.
The former Manchester United defender joined up with United in China, and oversaw a 1-0 victory over West Ham to clinch third place in the Premier League Asia Trophy.
