Steve Bruce has told his West Bromwich Albion players they must all live within an hour of the training ground next season, even though he will not be relocating from Cheshire. The former Newcastle United head coach had a similar approach whilst at St. James' Park, something which - according to reports - saw players question their training schedule, believing it was tailored for Bruce to travel back to Cheshire.
The former Magpies boss has struggled since signing on the dotted line at the Hawthorns. The Baggies fell out of the play-off picture and hurtled down the table.
Results have been indifferent for Bruce in recent weeks but he's hoping to mastermind a rebuild next season. The Baggies boss said he does not need to relocate as 'managers usually get sacked.'
