Paul McShane is in a spot of bother with Steve Bruce

The flame-haired, flame-thrower of truth could be on his way out of Hull.

It looks like Paul McShane's days in the Premier League may be numbered. The Ireland defender hasn't featured much for Hull City this season, making just six appearances all season. In fact, as he's made blatantly clear on Twitter, McShane has been told to train with the under-21 by his manager Steve Bruce. https://twitter.com/pmacca15/status/546087765050654720 Bruce hit back at McShane after the home defeat by Swansea, telling journalists that they should keep an eye on the defender's Twitter page if they want to know the real reason for his exile. “I could go to Twitter and tell you the reason why he’s with the Under-21s but maybe Paul can enlighten you,” Bruce said. “I’ll never go to the media or to Twitter on things which remain in-house. "But maybe he’ll go on Twitter and tell the real reason why, then you’ll all know.” McShane spent the latter part of last week retweeting comments from fans urging him not to leave the club. https://twitter.com/LeeScott92/status/546060161673363456 https://twitter.com/elliewalmsley_x/status/546032063963725824 https://twitter.com/rybecketthcafc/status/546028972304523264 It was McShane's goal against Cardiff in May 2012 that secured Hull's promotion to the Premier League. It doesn't look like it's going to end well for him at the club. A departure in January may be the best for all concerned.
