Unless the club is sold in which case they'll leave it to the new board to get a new manager


nah - he'll be gone the minute the seasons over - why would you want him in charge of signing / selling players for next season or managing next seasons pre season training - in fact why would you want him in charge of anything

i ment the allams tell him to stay until the end of the season when they can all leave together, leaving the new owners to find a manager
 
I got told on Friday that Andre Gray will be coming in as player manager next season with Gary Rowett as his assistant.
 
I'm hereing that Bruce agreed to that, but club insiders wouldn't agree to his demands vis a vis what happens after that. So if he couldn't get the assurance from the first team clique then it wouldn't be accepted from those in the no. After that meating he was well within his writes apparently but he, and he alone, wouldn't and if he wouldn't, then they said it couldn't be the case.

That said, those ITK no that what was said then might be said again and if that's true then it would be the case and no one could not agree to that.

Money is the real reason it's not happened so far.

this will probably be 'breaking news' on RH tomorrow.......a source within the club.

Bruce did offer to resign three weeks ago.

Just after her boss at the BBC caught her hiding an acient roman candlestick up her chuff on the Antiques Roadshow.

Theiving dirty bitch.

Was it one of a pair and they smelled something fishy?

Official, from an ex player...........

Steve Bruce offered his resignation 3 weeks ago.......and it was refused. The players and the coaching staff are aware, no wonder he looks pissed off.

Just a point but it's not official. It's a rumour.
 
There was nothing stopping Bruce then or now. A manager can quit anytime if he wants but what we often see is him waiting to be sacked so he can get the pay off.

Presumably if he walks he can be sued for not fulfilling his contract and he is prevented from going elsewhere because he is still under contract - it needs to be agreed by both parties

Fairly sure people under contract just have to give appropriate notice before quitting. You can't be forced to work for the remainder of a contract, you aren't a slave.

No, but when a manager says to his Chairman "I want to leave, I've had enough" generally the Chairman terminates the contract by mutual consent. Not much use having an unwilling manager.

Why would he - he waits to see whether he wants to go somewhere else then gets compensation

A lot of clubs have managers and players leave by mutual consent. Whether that's the player/manager instigating, or the club, someone misses out on compensation when that happens. Unless you believe the paper talk no one would pay us for Bruce so not much point holding onto him if he wanted out.
 
Why would an ex player know anything?

If Bruce really wanted to go how could they stop him? I believe that they would want to reject it, or that they'd try to make it them sacking him, but I can't see how they could force him to stay.
Maybe they'd heard about the £2 mill offer from Villa and thought that they'd hold him to ransom… you know how they work..
