ITV media seemed to tip Steve Bruce for the job, while on BBC Garth Crooks suggested "David Moyes is the perfect fit for Newcastle. He is looking for a Premier League club and why not Newcastle?"
Steve Bruce: “I find it very disrespectful that I am linked with somebody else’s job when he is still in the job,” he said.
“I am just concentrating on our game against West Ham on Monday.
“I’m like any other manager, when I see another manager under huge pressure like Alan is – and it was only a few years ago I was in the same sort of situation – it isn’t nice.
“After what happened to me at Sunderland I know how difficult the north east is.
“I have only been at Hull a couple of years and they have been really good. They gave me the chance to get up and running again and for that I will always be grateful.”

Rio Ferdinand has highlighted a series of mistakes which he believes David Moyes made during his dismal Manchester United tenure - starting with the banning of chips the night before matches.
The QPR defender, who endured an unhappy return to Old Trafford on Sunday as his side were thrashed 4-0 by his former employers, has lifted the lid on what happened during Moyes' turbulent 10 months in charge.
In his autobiography '#2Sides', which is being serialised by The Sun, the 35-year-old centre-back revealed the players were confused by mixed messages from Moyes, frustrated by his mentality and angered by changes in routine, such as the chips being taken away.
Rio Ferdinand: "It's not something to go to the barricades over (the chips). But all the lads were p***** off. And guess what happened after Moyes left and Ryan Giggs took over?
"Moyes has been gone about 20 minutes, we're on the bikes warming up for the first training session and one of the lads says: 'You know what? We've got to get on to Giggsy. We've got to get him to get us our f****** chips back."
"Before every game he made a point of showing us videos of how dangerous the other team could be. On the morning of a game we'd spend half an hour on the training ground, drilling to stop them.
"There was so much attention to the subject it suddenly became a worry - they must be f****** good at this to have us spend all this time on it."
