    The Sunday Times:

    "Steve Bruce says the Hull City squad are in doubt as to who is in charge at the KC Stadium."

    What do they mean by this? Nothing happening in the dressing room is there? Or are they referring to the board?

    Sunday Times has a paywall so can't read the article for context.

    Maybe the word 'no' was missed out and the players are 'in no doubt who is in charge'

    Don't know why players would give a toss who is in charge at board level.

    I think it would be with regards to the board. Nick Thompson leaving and talk of Duffen perhaps coming back, God forbid.

    I considered that, but either way it seems a strange thing to report on when we've not heard a thing locally? Unless, as merch says, it's with regards to the board.

    It won't be anything to do with Bruce, it'll be the board.

    Good article although hardly revelatory.

    In the wake of SAF's autobiog, the journo quizzed SB about it and hence the whos' in charge angle.

    We learn: SB and AA meet once every 3 weeks for a coffee
    - SB is the highest English manager in the Premier League table
    - he is ambitious to manage a Champions League team but enjoys the 'hands off' style of AA and that is not to be discounted
    -the aircon in his office at Cott doesn't work very well, and the site used to belong to Northern Foods
    - his dad in law has two replacement knees
    - he shops at Gwenap
    - he thinks anyone who 'isn't bothered about the name change' is an utter **** and is not welcome at the KC as long as he's in charge

    He's definitely done it before. Thankfully he trusts Bruce enough to stay out of things.

    Selective quoting here. He says he gets most of that type of stuff online and only goes to Gwenap if it's needed that night. He did say that about the name change ****s though.
