Bruce backed to become ‘Wigan legend’

WIGAN chairman Dave Whelan has challenged Steve Bruce to establish the Latics as a Barclays Premier League force after belatedly confirming his appointment at the JJB Stadium yesterday.

Whelan said: “He (Bruce) is the man who will not only keep this club in the Premier League this season but continue the work of Paul Jewell and Chris Hutchings in building a legacy for the future.

“I want Steve to become a Wigan legend. I think he is going to be a huge success at Wigan.

“Make no mistake, we have got ourselves a top, top man.

“Right from the start when I knew there was a possibility of getting Steve I knew he was the right man for the job.”
