Steve Bruce dismisses Fulham link

Hull City boss Steve Bruce insists that there are is no truth in the report linking him with Championship side Fulham.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has insisted that there is no truth in the speculation linking him with Fulham.

Reports had suggested that the Championship side would offer the 55-year-old a lucrative £15m contract in the summer to take the club back into the Premier League.

Bruce says that the suggestions, which came after his side's 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United, are disrespectful to current Cottagers boss Kit Symons.

"I was getting the sack the day before, and then Fulham want me," the London Evening Standard quotes Bruce as saying.

"Unfortunately with the media today I can't do anything about it. The biggest problem I've got with the whole thing is they've got a manager in situ at Fulham and I've got huge respect for Kit who is new to the job.

"I can't comment on it because if I comment on it it just fuels it even more, and as far as I'm concerned it's rubbish journalism."

Bruce led Hull into the top flight in 2013.
