STEVE BRUCE TURNS DOWN WOLVES JOB
Steve Bruce has pulled out of the running for the Wolves job following a disagreement with the club over the length of his contract.
Bruce, out of work since being sacked by Sunderland in November, turned down the opportunity to take charge for the remaining thirteen games of the season after talks with owner Steve Morgan and chief executive Jez Moxey took place today.
Bruce was reportedly “immensely offended” that the club didn’t have enough faith in his managerial abilities to offer him a contract that went further than the summer. Despite his vast experience in the game, Bruce is yet to manage a ”big” club, and the fact he was only offered a “trial” deal at a club inside the drop zone convinced him to turn down the job.
Wolves will now be forced to establish other candidates to replace Mick McCarthy at Molineux, with Alan Curbishley, Brian McDermott, Walter Smith and Gus Poyet already ruling themselves out, whilst Bruce seemingly has a decision to make himself. He has apparently told friends and family that he is tired of having to continuously rebuild his reputation in the game, and will only return to management if the “right” job comes along.
OUTSIDE OF MOLINEUX IN MY CAR
I can't believe this. I’ve been in this game for 35 years – and 14 of those were as a manager. I’ve played under the greatest manager of all time. I captained the biggest club in the world. I’ve strived as a manager for the past fourteen years, and now, all that hard graft seems to have been for nothing. Sunderland was my first ever sacking. Nowadays it seems as if managers are getting sacked every week – and it took fourteen years and seven jobs for me to get my first sacking. Now I realize just how bad it is. I put in so much work at Sunderland, and a run of bad results not only cost me my job, but my reputation in the game. It seems as if the fact I’m out of work for the first time in 35 years means I’ve got something to prove. Bollocks. I’ve got nothing to prove. Wolves can **** off now. I thought I could go in there and put in a shift, but Steve and Jez wouldn’t even allow me the opportunity. Thirteen games to prove that I was capable of managing Wolverhampton Wanderers? It wasn’t for me. For a young, vibrant, upcoming manager… maybe. But not me. I’m 51 years old now. I’m ready for a massive challenge at one of the biggest clubs in the world. I shouldn’t have to “rebuild my reputation in the game” with my knowledge and experience.
I’m sick of this. Wolves will be the last vacancy I’ll apply for.
I want to manage one of the biggest clubs in the world and achieve something special, otherwise my career as a football manager is over.
