Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua oati a Steve Bruce ki tana wahine a Janet ka noho ia ki runga i te kai whai muri i te whakaputanga o nga whakaahua paparazzi kore o ia i runga i te takutai o Barbados. E kii ana te kaiwhakahaere o Hull i 'whakamate' ia i te whakaputanga o nga pikitia, a, i miharo ia ka hiahia tetahi ki a ia. He nui ake te ahua o Steve Bruce i te mea i hopukina ia e noho ana i Barbados me Alan Shearer. Kua oati a Bruce ki tana wahine a Janet ka ngaro tana taumaha i muri i tana kitenga i nga whakaahua kino. I pōhēhē a Bruce i te hiahia o tētahi ki ngā pikitia o tētahi tangata 55-tau te pakeke i te takutai moana. 'E kore ahau e whakaaro he maha rawa 55-tau-tau titiro e pai i runga i te one, e kore e ratou,' ka mea ia, 'engari kua whakaaria e ahau toku wahine pai ka haere ahau i runga i te kai. 'Na kia tupato - ka huri ahau ki te tino whakamataku, te tino pākiki pākiki kua tae mai koe. 'Kua tae mai ki ahau etahi reta e mea ana he mea pai ki te kite i te tangata e okioki ana i roto i to ratou ake kiri - kaore i te nuinga o te hinengaro!' I hiahia hoki a Bruce ki te tautohetohe mo te pehea e kaha ake ai nga karapu Pirimia League ki te kawe mai i nga taranata Ingarihi. I whakaatu tata nei te tumuaki o te FA a Greg Dyke i ngā tono hou, tae atu ki te whakapiki i te maha o ngā kaitākaro kāinga i roto i te kapa 25 ki te 12, hei whakapau kaha ki te whakapai ake i te kapa motu. I whakaae hoki a Bruce ki a Dyke, i mua i tana uiui me pehea tana karapu o mua a Manchester United, me te whanui o Liverpool me Manchester City, te kimi kaitakaro. E whakaaro ana a Bruce me nui ake te mahi a tana karapu o mua a Manchester United ki te whakaputa i ngā kaitākaro rangatahi o Ingarangi. Ka mea ia, 'He tautohetohe nui. Kei a mātou te Pirimia Rōpū he mea whakamiharo engari me kimi huarahi mātou ki te whakaputa i ngā kaitākaro rangatahi, ā, kotahi, tokorua rānei, engari e hiahia ana mātou ki ētahi atu. 'Ko tētahi mea e whakamiharo ana i roto i ngā tau 20 kua hipa, he miriona tāra i haumihia e mātou ki roto i ngā whare wānanga, engari kei te nui tonu ngā kaitākaro e whakaputaina ana e mātou? Ka titiro koe ki muri, kei hea rāua? He tautohetohe tino nui tēnei. Ki ahau nei, e mihi ana mātou ki ngā tamariki e tākaro whutupaoro ana i te kura. 'Mēnā ka tika te mahi, me titiro koe ki te karapu whutupaoro hei katoa, me te kite mēnā ka taea e mātou te whakaputa i tētahi kaitākaro taitamariki.'
Kua oati a Steve Bruce ki tana wahine a Janet kia noho kai me te whakaheke taumaha. I whakaahuatia te rangatira o Hull e kai ana i te ra me tana hoa a Alan Shearer. I whai hararei poto a Bruce i te wā o te wehenga o te ao.
