‘I’ve been told from senior sources’ - Sky Sports reporter shares ‘huge news’ out of West Brom

Speaking live on Sky Sports (via Football Daily), reporter Rob Dorsett has shared some ‘huge news’ out of West Bromwich Albion involving Steve Bruce.

After eight months in charge, former Baggies boss Valerien Ismael was given his marching orders, with The Daily Mail claiming that he had lost the faith of West Brom’s playing staff in recent weeks.

His assistant Adam Murray has also departed The Hawthorns as the Championship promotion-chasers now commence their search for Ismael’s replacement.

This comes as West Brom drop off the pace in their battle to secure promotion back to the Premier League, with Sky Sports now sharing ‘huge news’ on the club’s quest for a new manager.

As per the reliable broadcaster, Albion are now in advanced talks to appoint Bruce as their new boss as Dorsett shares ‘huge news’ out of the club on Wednesday evening.

“I can tell you, I’ve been told from senior sources that Steve Bruce is in advanced negotiations with West Bromwich Albion right now to potentially take over as their new head coach,” he explained on live TV.

“I think Albion probably wanted to keep this news quiet, but it’s huge news and it has leaked to me, what huge news that would be if Steve Bruce decided to step back into football management now.”

While the 61-year-old has averaged a pretty tame 1.36 points per game over his career as a coach, overseeing almost as many losses as victories recorded (Transfermarkt), his record of achieving promotion is one plus point to this potential appointment.

Luke Edwards of The Telegraph highlighted how Bruce has earned more promotions from England’s second tier under his belt than any other manager, adding that it is ‘understandable’ why West Brom are interested (Twitter).
