The journalist, Alan Nixon, has addressed Twitter rumours surrounding Steve Bruce’s future as Sheffield Wednesday manager.
Some had suggested that Bruce had ‘walked away’ from Wednesday, who it is claimed have been placed under a second transfer embargo in as many summers.

But according to Nixon, who was the first to report the Owls’ interest in hiring Bruce as manager six months ago, the situation has been exaggerated somewhat.
Posting via his Twitter account, which has more than 80,000 followers, the Scot wrote:
Sheff Wed. Bruce wants moves out and in happening quicker. Gone hands on today. So things should start to fall into place. Maybe get realistic sales prices now …

Sheffield Wednesday are said to have agreed deals for three new players, Julian Börner, Moses Odubajo and Kadeem Harris, pending the lifting of their embargo.
Nixon has previously reported interest in the Owls stars, Lucas Joao and Fernando Forestieri, but claimed the Hillsborough chairman, Dejphon Chansiri, had set unrealistic asking prices.
