Is this the same Steve Bruce who is willing to pay us £2,000,000 for Rowan Vine and quadruple his current wages?

Hmmm.


I would presume that was more down the board than the manager


Well Bruce wants the player.

£125,000 a week salaries are a joke...they should be capped at least...

However

If I was a prem footballer the last thing I would want it a Cap...

FA do need to change the pricing though. They set the price/min price for each game/round. Last year our local side Burnham got to the 1st round v Aldershot. Normally like £6 it was £14 i think for a ticket!!

okay they filled the 1800 capacity but it should be upto the club to set it accordingly

I hope he is also in favour of manager salaries being slashed aswell...and I bet his is one of the highest in that division!

But.. as far as I know the tickets for that game were only £20... and Newcastle filled their 4,200 allocation no problem.

Steve Bruce did not take long to come up with a solution for the thousands of empty seats. Having expressed his shock at the 16,444 attendance - lower than any Birmingham crowd in the Championship this term - Bruce claimed football needs a reality check. His belief that ticket prices ought to be slashed is unlikely to be popular in boardrooms but his suggestion that players' salaries should be lowered will have widespread support.

"Lower the prices and let people back in who want to come and support football matches but simply can't afford to," said the Birmingham manager. "We get enough income off television and all the rest of it now; possibly reducing player salaries is what it needs. If we all do it, then fine. But we can't have the FA Cup third round with 4,000 Newcastle fans and 16,000 people in the ground. It absolutely shocked me."

Spot on IMO
