Worth a punt (as our manager) - Steve Bruce

Offered the Hull job apparently -

Hull City have offered Steve Bruce a job as the club's new manager, BBC Radio Humberside reports.

The Tigers have been managerless since sacking Nick Barmby last month.

Bruce, the former Birmingham City, Wigan and Sunderland boss, has been out of the game since being sacked by the Black Cats in November 2011.

Barmby was removed from his position at the KC Stadium after less than six months in charge following comments he made to the media.

The club's owners, the Allams, have said that there are still two candidates under consideration, with one believed to be Bruce.

Seriously Sluffy? You'd like Steve Bruce as Wanderers manager? I think I'd rather have Megson back.

I'd rather Bolton Hater took over.

No I wasn't being serious but I do think even Bruce (of whom I've got a history of stating what a vastly over rated manager I thought he was - when I was very much in the minority at the time) would be better than Coyle - and yes I rate Megson better than Coyle too.

I was merely passing on the news of Bruce in an attempted light-hearted manner.

I was going to simply put it in my usual - 'Bruce - worth a punt?' way - but thought people might think I was asking whether he was a better option than Knight - which of course he would be even at his age - hence my 'as a manager' tag as well.

Didn't Bruce get Palace promoted to the Premiership...?

Heard that today on TalkSport.. They had Simon Jordon in, pushing his new book.. I quite fancy that.... He's not pleasant about a few people...

No. I would rather keep Coyle for another 6 months.
