Steve Bruce Addresses Hull City Fans Amid Recent Exit Speculation
"?Hull City manager Steve Bruce has taken the time to address his loyal fans after recent rumours have linked the new Premier League manager with a move away from the KC Stadium.
Bruce and his backroom staff were crucial in guiding Hull back into the top tier of English football after only a one-year absence, a feat which is certainly not easy to mastermind.
"?Speaking on the official Hull City Tigers website, Bruce had this message for his fans:
"I wanted to take this opportunity to address the Club's supporters following recent speculation in the press regarding my future.
"Despite the talk of potential take overs, my focus is on what happens on the pitch and as far as I am concerned it is business as usual.
"Since the Play-Off Final I have been in contact with our Board of Directors and other officials at the Club on a regular basis and I am confident we all understand what we need to do to be ready for the Premier League season ahead of us.
"We plan to make improvements to our squad in the coming weeks and a transfer budget and wage structure has been set by the Board for the new campaign. It is simply not correct that I have been told I cannot sign any players as reported in the media this week.
"We are already looking at potential targets in order to strengthen the squad. In addition to strengthening, we have also started working on several other projects including alterations at our training ground in Cottingham.
"Preparations for next season have been well underway since we left Wembley in May and I am looking forward to joining up with my players and staff in Portugal next week for our pre-season training camp.
"As supporters we need you now more than ever, let's make the KCOM Stadium a difficult place for teams to come to next season starting with Leicester on the opening weekend.
"Thank you for your continued support."
Will we see Bruce in the Hull dugout come the start of the 2016/17 Premier League season? Judging from this message, that scenario seems very likely.
