終於成為事實了 ...... 布魯士已...

哈, 布魯士同伯明翰有 "無法預見" 嘅事情出現咗, 令佢未能如期成為韋根領隊喎 ......

BBC -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/ ... thletic/7105078.stm

Bruce's Wigan move hit by hold-up

Wigan have had to delay the unveiling of Steve Bruce as their new manager because of "unforeseen circumstances".

Bruce, who has left his post as Birmingham boss to take up the job at the JJB Stadium, was expected to be presented to the media on Wednesday.

But Wigan chief executive Brenda Spencer said "an issue between Birmingham and Steve" had caused the move to be put on hold.

She added that the club hoped to have appointed a manager by the weekend.

"The club are confident that the situation, which is beyond their control, will be resolved quickly and the club will be in a position to make an announcement in the very near future," said a club statement.

Spencer confirmed Bruce was scheduled to sign his contract in Wigan on Wednesday morning and that the 46-year-old former Manchester United captain was "very upset".

She insisted Bruce remained Wigan's first choice candidate to replace Chris Hutchings but could only predict that chairman Dave Whelan would have completed "something" within the next 24 hours.

"We thought we would be announcing the new manager this afternoon and, as you all know, it was going to be Steve Bruce," said Spencer.

"Unfortunately something has come up. It is an issue between Birmingham and Steve and, until it is resolved, we cannot announce him as our new manager.

"Our chairman is desperate that we have a manager in place and he is hopeful that something will happen in the next 24 hours.

"I think we just have to sit tight, hold fire and hope that something will be resolved.

"We did have a list but Steve is our number one choice. We definitely want him and he wants to come to Wigan.

"He is very upset because we hoped to have him appointed today but nothing is going to happen today."

Spencer refused to be drawn on whether Bruce's plan to take Eric Black, his assistant at St Andrews, with him to Wigan had influenced the delay.

"It is nothing to do with anything else," she said. "Just between Birmingham and Steve."

Birmingham had no immediate comment but it is being reported that the problem surrounds a small financial disagreement between Bruce and the Birmingham board.

BBC Radio 5 Live's Pat Murphy said: "I understand there is an impasse over money that both parties believe they're entitled to. And the amount runs to several hundred thousand pounds.

"Karren Brady, Birmingham's managing director, prides herself on her ability to play hardball while Bruce, who is well aware of the board's hard-nosed attitude to financial negotiations, is digging his heels in, determined to extract what he feels is due to him.

"But it's not unusual to have this sort of hitch when a manager leaves to join another club and there will probably be a compromise in the next 24 hours."

The hold-up means caretaker-manager Frank Barlow remains in charge of Wigan, who are second bottom of the Premier League and travel to leaders Arsenal on Saturday.

The players had a day off on Wednesday and were expecting to have Thursday's training session led by Bruce.

Should the deal go through, Bruce is set to be handed a £15m transfer kitty as he fights to save Wigan from relegation.

Whelan has agreed £3m compensation with Birmingham.

"He will keep us out of relegation problems and all the fans will be delighted we've got him," said Whelan, who hopes Blues will allow Black to leave St Andrews to join up with Bruce, who had a brief spell in charge of Wigan in 2001.

Birmingham chairman David Gold insists he "will do everything possible" to stop Black's proposed move.

Black is in temporary charge of Blues, with his first game against Portsmouth at home on Saturday.
