| Following on from the resignations of Alan Curbishley and Kevin Keegan last week over transfer policy at Premiership clubs, Steve Bruce said he couldn't be happier with the working relationship he has with chairman Dave Whelan. |
Whelan enjoyed a good working relationship with previous manager Paul Jewell and it seems the former JJB chairman knows how to keep his managers happy.
Bruce told the Wigan Evening Post: "I must have the ideal chairman to work for - Dave Whelan is English, is a football person and wants his team to do well.
"He never interferes in what I do at all - I think I'm the envy of a lot of managers. When I speak to other club managers, they crave to just be left alone to do their job.
"If you fail doing it your way, that's fine - you know what the consequences will be, so in that respect I'm very lucky. Which manager in their own right wouldn't want a say in a club's policy on transfers?
"You have to be responsible for transfers, responsible for the players you put out on the pitch to try to win matches. It works differently on the continent, but that isn't the right way to do things over here."
