West Brom: Steve Bruce job 'under threat' at the Hawthorns

West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Bruce has ‘been under threat’ for a couple of weeks due to his side’s poor results, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The 61-year-old tactician has overseen an extremely disappointing start to the campaign at the Hawthorns, and his tenure could be drawing to a close imminently.

At this moment in time, West Brom are sitting inside the Championship relegation zone after picking up just a single victory in their opening 12 league games.

Bruce stated that ‘change is for other people to decide’ following a 3-2 defeat at home to Swansea City last weekend, and the Baggies’ narrow loss at Preston North End on Thursday evening may force the club’s hierarchy into a decision.

“Change is for other people to decide. All I can do is try and draw on my experience. I’ve had tough times before,” he told BBC WM Sport.

Throughout his career, Bruce has shown his ability at this level having twice won promotion to the Premier League with both Birmingham City and Hull City, but time is running out to turn things around at West Brom.

Jones believes that Bruce’s position has been under consideration for a significant period of time now and that their current standings in the Championship table is ‘just unacceptable’.
