again, bruce was offered a rolling one year contract by the current board, said he'd sign it when he got back from his hols in the summer.
yeung showed up, offered £30m for just under 1/3 share of the club, chairmen have had abuse from the fans for the last few years, so they want to get rid asap (and have actually said in programs etc that they'll sell if someone comes in with an offer before)
yeung pulled the contract offer to bruce, before he had a chance to get back from hls and sign it, leading to widespread whispering that he was gonna bankroll a famous manager when he took over
bruce got worried about his job, had no proper reassurance that he'd heep it after talking to yeung, wigan came in, offered him lots of money and the prospect of still having a job in january so he went.
now yeung has stalled on his offer, despite being a multi millionaire, he can't raise the other £30m needed to buy a controlling share
its all fun and games in the second city
if we get coleman or hoddle or someone equally rubbish, i'm taking a year off football
