Betting: Brucie bonus

Last updated : 04 June 2009 By Paul Farrington
Following the news that Steve Bruce has been named as the new Sunderland manager, Sky Bet are offering 9/4 that he doesn't last the whole of next season at the helm (1/3 to last the season).

Bruce, who guided Wigan to eleventh in the Barclays Premier last season, is 9/4 to help Sunderland to a top half finish next season (1/3 bottom half finish).

It's 5/6 for Sunderland to get over 46.5 points (5/6 under 46.5 points) and 20/1 that Bruce can bag the Black Cats a trophy.

Bruce, who has already been linked with a number of transfer targets, is 5/6 to make over 5.5 summer transfers (5/6 under 5.5 transfers).
