Hull City owner Assem Allam is tightlipped on offering new terms to manager Steve Bruce.
Bruce is expected to see his contract improved over the summer.
Bruce told the Hull Daily Mail: "How can I talk about such a personal matter (a new deal) through the media?
"If I do that, I will then have to talk about even more personal matters like wages and salary and I'm not prepared to do that.
"You wouldn't discuss your contract with your employer through the media.
"I am a business man who runs a football club. I prefer to treat all these matters in a business-like way."
