Fulham Eye Steve Bruce

[bucksfulham]

According to a report in The Sun, Fulham will target Hull City boss Steve Bruce if current manager Kit Symons doesn't post a considerable improvement.

Fulham have experienced a frustrating start to their Championship campaign, with the team bereft of consistency as they seemingly follow up every impressive victory with defeat.

The club's hierarchy are growing impatient with Symons, and without a considerable improvement reports in The Sun suggest they will seek Hull City's Steve Bruce to take over in his place.

"Fulham will move for Steve Bruce in the next few weeks if boss Kit Symons does not get the club climbing the table," the report states.

Potential step in the right direction?

Since dropping down to the Championship, Fulham haven't been shy in splashing the cash and it was in fact their deal to sign Ross McCormack which prompted an increase in transfer fees across the board.

After a disastrous spell under Felix Magath, Symons has steadied the ship but there seems little signs of the club really pushing for the playoffs – an evident target set by those in power.

For every impressive 4-0 defeat over decent opposition such as Queens Park Rangers, a damaging defeat has ensued and such inconsistent form is damaging for morale.

The report states that Bruce has been identified as an ideal replacement and it's easy to see why, considering the job he has done at Hull City and Wigan Athletic previously,

The Tigers are in a good position to make an immediate return to the Premier League, so it is hard to see him walking away from his job at the KC even if the money is right.

Can't we have Bruce Wayne instead

[colinwhite]

Lambert would be good .

More likely Bruce Forsyth. I can see the post match interview "Didn't they do well".

I like Steve Bruce. Would be happy with either him or Lambert.

A point at Boro followed by back to back home wins and Kit will be OK until Christmas.

reminds me of Tommy "you've never had it so lucky" Trinder.......now he really put Fulham on the map  :005:

I doubt Steve Bruce will come to Fulham as things are currently at Hull. I'm not surprised though Fulham are looking at alternatives to Kit just in case things go pear shape at Fulham

Has been promoted to the premier league three times and generally done a solid job everywhere. Lambert did a great with Norwich but my Villa STH mate said theywere dismal under him

Probably no more than a shot across Symons bow.

I'm just glad there is news of the board aren't happy with Kits performance as manager

[Wimbledon_White]

Typical international break journalism; nonsense in order to create a few clicks on the website. And we fall for it every time.

No smoke without fire. This is the 3rd time now isn't it? It was no secret that Bruce was the 5 man panels main guy, but his contract at Hull was the stumbling block. Would be a good appointment in my eyes, especially for what we need to achieve first and that's getting out the Championship. We can worry at the Premiership when we get there.

So could this not be the Sun just bringing up old stuff to make a new story? Not exactly one of the most exalted sources of accurate info, is it?

Then again, I would contend with your last assertion (as bolded above) regarding worrying about the Prem when we get there, as this is just a recipe for disaster, and failing to plan a long-term return to the top flight. We need a team in place that can gain promotion and hold the fort for at least the first season without having to replace the squad wholesale in summer just after promotion.
