Sport: England consider Hull City’s Bruce for coaching role

Steve Bruce is definitely a runner in the race to be England football manager as several media outlets reported Tuesday the Hull handler had held talks with the Football Association.
The 55-year-old Englishman – who like older compatriot and rival Sam Allardyce has yet to win any silverware during a long time in club management – said prior to the talks he thought the job should go to a homegrown talent.
“I think the top of the FA in my opinion should be English. I’ve always said that, there’s nobody more patriotic than I am,” he told BBC Radio Humberside.
“I’m honoured to be linked with it. It’s the pinnacle to go and manage your country. What bigger job in the world is there?” added Bruce, who has also managed among other clubs Wigan and Sunderland.
Bruce, who enjoyed a successful playing career captaining Manchester United although he was never capped, and Sunderland boss Allardyce are thought to be on a four man short list also comprising young turk Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and the experienced charismatic USA handler and former German striker Jurgen Klinsmann.
The three man FA panel — which is made up of former Manchester United chief executive David Gill, FA technical director Dan Ashworth and chief executive Martin Glenn — are seeking to find a successor to Roy Hodgson.
Hodgson stepped down after England’s latest failure at a major finals, losing 2-1 to minnows Iceland in the last 16 of Euro 2016.
England have failed to make it past the first knockout stage of a major finals since Sven-Goran Eriksson guided them to the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals where they lost on penalties to Portugal.

A government official told pressmen that the State colours will be changed in the next few days. It is said the colours of red and white will replace the colours of blue and white. The new red and white logo also has a bull in the middle signifying the ‘energy’ behind the activities in the State and the 18 stars encircling the logo represent the 18 local governments of Cross River State. •Analyzing the changes and the reasons for them, one will see that the State Executive Council has no compelling reason to change the State logo. They are simply looking for mundane undertakings just to lay claim to having marked the State’s golden jubilee. How can they change the State logo which is unique in all its ways into that new thing that looks like the ...

PROFESSOR BEN AYADE, THE DIGITAL GOVERNOR OF CROSS RIVER STATE. ( A FARMER THAT SOWS WITH FATE )

Image
A FARMER THAT SOWS WITH FATE With genuine inspirational dreams to revolve Cross Ri ver State into an Industrial hop, the digital Governor, Prof. Ben. AYADE can be likened with the Biblical Farmer that sows with fate for a bumper harvest, therefore, the digital Governor should be seen and estimated as a Unified, a Political enigma and Colossus, a game changer and in general, a Nation builder and Healer with a developmental transition in his mind. Though, the metaphysical transcendence inherent in his dream of Industrializing the State might appear too dark to his Foes, antagonists and adversaries to acquaint themselves with the light in it. However, we can achieve, if we as a people stake down our respective interests and support the Governor of his noble dreams for our State's development and for posterity sake. Let us all remember our CHILDREN, GRAND CHILDREN and GREAT, GREAT GRAND CHILDREN !!
