Steve Bruce at Sheffield Wednesday training ground after Newcastle United talks

But it is understood that even if any deal was to be agreed today, visa issues would prevent Bruce from travelling with them.
If Bruce does agree to take on the job, a compensation package must be agreed between the two clubs, with Wednesday reportedly holding out for ‘significantly more’ than £1m.
