Steve Bruce’s week goes from bad to worse with reports of resignation from Hull

Bruce was interviewed on Monday for the England job.

Hull's preparations for life back in the Premier League appear to be in turmoil following reports manager Steve Bruce has resigned.

The Tigers have refused to comment on reports that Bruce, 55, has quit the club just three weeks before the start of the new season following a meeting with the club's owners, having failed to take training on Friday morning.
