Steve Bruce, Blues longest-serving manager of the post-War years.
Time flies, doesn't it.
But will Bruce fly, or be swatted, after all the ructions regarding Carson Yeung's decision to block his new contract?
In Yeung's eyes, it might all be a big fuss about nothing.
He has always said that he likes Bruce and wants him to stay when his takeover is complete.
But by using his veto, he has stirred up a right hornet's nest.
It has brought into focus not just Bruce's future, but plonked a general cloud of uncertainty over St Andrew's.
Concern about Yeung's plans and the way he is to raise the capital to fund his purchase through Grandtop International has also been questioned.
Check out an outsider's take on the saga - Martin Samuel's piece in The Times is excellent.

When Bruce and Yueng meet ahead of the Manchester City game, issues need to be sorted, the air needs to be cleared. That cloud has to be lifted.
Yeung has to tell the supporters just what his intentions are and Blues must let him have his say.
It's in his and the club's best interests for that to happen after all.

Yeung would be daft to march in and start shouting the odds without actually giving Bruce a chance.
And I'm a bit mystified as to Steve McManaman's role in all this. His comments on the telly the other day basically backing up his mate Yeung were ill-advised to say the least.
Does he want to be manager? Is he going to stick his nose in? That would be another mistake because he's got zero experience in that area.

Undoubtedly a superior write-up pal in this certain topic. I am thinking if I can use this write up on my blog, I most certainly will link it back aimed at your site though. If this sounds a headache remember to tell me and I most certainly will take it down in a timely manner. Jesse
