Hull City club-record £5m signing has been suspended for the past four weeks following an incident on a pre-season trip to Slovenia, which saw him immediately ordered to stay away from the club.
Bullard was finally summoned to a lengthy disciplinary hearing at the KC last week, in which he was represented by the PFA. City are believed to have taken legal advice and considered all available options, including dismissing the ex-Fulham and Wigan man.

But with QPR renewing their interest this week, and the threat of a long drawn-out legal battle ahead, it now appears a severance agreement is more likely to be reached. Bullard, who has made just 19 league starts for City since signing in January 2009, is contracted until the end of the 2012-13 season. That contract still has a value of more than £4m in wages going forward. But City will now look to make a significantly lower payment of less than £1m given his present situation.
