Birmingham's prospective new owner Carson Yeung is prepared to hold talks with Steve Bruce who is concerned whether he has a future at St Andrews.

But the Hong Kong businessman will make no public comment on whether Bruce will be awarded a new contract.

Yeung's representative Sammy Yu said: "If Steve Bruce wants a meeting with Mr Yeung when we return to the UK, then why not? But for the moment we will stay silent on what has been publicly said over the last few says."

Yeung gave a negative response when the contract agreed by Bruce with the current board in May was presented to him last week.

That led to Bruce asking to meet Yeung who is expected to complete his takeover at St Andrews during the next couple of months after buying a 29.9% stake in the club during the summer.

Current Blues chairman David Gold has urged Yeung to make his intentions clear to Bruce who has 20 months remaining of his current five-year contract.

Gold said: "We are trying to convince the potential new owners that it would be in everybody's interest for them to make clear their intentions. Steve is very obviously concerned and that will not help anybody.

"We've made a decent start to life back in the Premier League and it's fair to say that when you have uncertainty at a club, it always reflects on the field. We don't want that to happen."

Yu insisted the takeover was imminent and claimed: "We are almost ready but we have to abide by the Stock Exchange rules in both Hong Kong and Britain."

I'm surprised Bruce gets all these opportunities. Sheff U , Norwich , Crystal Palace now Brummie. He's not exactly set the world alight with his record, now today I read Bolton wanted to talk to him

I definitely think that they should stick with him, he has done very well this season and his team looks like it may have a major chance of staying this season, The Birmingham have told him he must stay in the Premierleague this season and i think that they will. I think they'll make the right decision and extend his contract.

Why he's not a bad manager at all as far as I'm concerned and as far as I'm concerned Bruce was one of the better names in the huge pile of dross that was linked with the Bolton job.
