Hull: Steve Bruce has held 'informal' talks with FA over England manager job

"We would hope to see the FA conclude their business quickly in order to avoid further speculation regarding Steve."

Hull boss Steve Bruce has held "informal" talks with the Football Association about the vacant England manager's job, according to the club.

The Tigers say no official approach has been made by the FA and have echoed Sunderland, whose manager Sam Allardyce remains the front-runner despite developments, in calling for a swift decision.
