Hull boss Bruce exasperated with media speculation

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has dismissed reports and had a pop at the media for linking him with a move to Championship side Fulham. Reports had suggested Fulham could offer Bruce a £15m deal to take over at Craven Cottage this summer.

But Bruce said: "The biggest problem I've got with the whole thing is they've got a manager in situ at Fulham [Kit Symons].

"I've got huge respect for Kit, who is new to the job."

The former Wigan and Sunderland boss added: "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's position at Hull has been the subject of media scrutiny in the past.

"I was getting the sack the day before, and then Fulham want me," Bruce said. "Unfortunately, with the media today, I can't do anything about it."
