Amid reports that Steve Bruce is spending the international break holidaying in Portugal, claims that his contract ends in 2023 were repeated in the local press.

For what it's worth, we understand that a recent piece in The Times detailing his contractual situation as follows is accurate:

"Bruce has three years left on his contract as a result of the rolling deal he signed when he joined in 2019. Each summer the length of the deal is automatically renewed and extended to its original length.

"There is also a clause in his deal that guarantees him a hefty compensation deal of about £4m* if the club decide they want to change manager."

The never ending cycle of Bruce!

Fair play to him for getting a week or so in Portugal. Not like most of our squad are still here as they're not internationals and not as if you know, the actually need coaching as they look clueless most games!

I saw rumours of his holiday on twitter, but some journo pointed out the photo matched an image from two years ago.

I don't like how he's performing as a coach, but this seems like a smear

No doubt if he was in Portugal then one of our moron fans would have spotted him at the airport and filmed themselves shouting "Bruce, where's your bacon" at him...

I do think his brother Steven had a mind for the game. He's embedded in football over here in Toronto though, doing loads of MLS and Canadian national team commentary and some front office and coaching work.

There was a brief spell a long time ago where one of the Caldwell's had a run of games for us and looked alright.

Both played for us during their youth career, but only Steven played any senior matches, while Gary went out on loan several times before moving to Hibs.
