Bruce vows to carry on as manager

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce believes he is the right manager to revive the relegation-threatened club after their FA Cup humiliation by Liverpool.
"I'll analyse myself but I want to turn it round," said a shell-shocked Bruce, after Liverpool's 7-0 victory.

"I'm not going to take anything for granted and questions will be asked.

"The board have always been good to me, but I still think I'm the right person to see it through. The one thing I am is resilient and I'll need to be."

Bruce added that the defeat was the worst he had suffered in 25 years as a player and a manager.

"Sometimes football kicks you in the teeth - and certainly that is the biggest one I have taken," the Birmingham manager added.

"You are just shell-shocked; in the end it was men against boys.

"I accept responsibility; I am not a quitter by nature. I will try and do my best to make sure we stay in the division."

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez believed luck played a part in his side's victory.  

"I'm delighted with the final result and the performance of the players," said the Spaniard.

"Sometimes you cannot score goals after 30 attempts - as against Charlton - but here every time we shot it was a goal.  

"We have quality. The strikers are really good, and in this case we had a lot of luck."

I hope you're right, for Brucie's sake as much as BCFC's. If he stays, it's obvious that he has done it for the compensation money and no other club or fans will want him if that's the case. His reputation will be even more shattered than it is now.

It was a case of too much too soon and it's time for him to go back a few steps and learn a bit more before taking on the huge job of a Premiership manager.

:angry: Not judging by this he wont, he is letting his pride get in the way of what his head is telling him. The only way we can beat relegation is with the momentum of a new lease of life by him going. we could have TF as caretaker manager, he would see us through, its the only the chance we have at this moment in time because Bruce is a crime against football. What do they do in training? our defence was a shambles he is supposed to be the god of knowledge when it comes to defence, just what the flying duck were they playing at I'm lost for words??

Only cos of ego and how he looks to the rest of the football world, all he cares about is how he looks to the task masters at the FA, and after the last 18 months he looks what he is Crap :o !!!!

The only thing he is bothered about is his own agenda, His pride. It would be the best for the club if he left now while we still have a remote chance of safety in this league. I look more upset than what he does i can asure you but it doesn't mean i can manage a football club.

TF as caretaker manager?
Please don't make me laugh I'm really not in the mood for jokes tonight.

Why on Earth would TF do any better? How on earth would he? he'd still have the best part of the squuad injured.

He took Sheff Wed down and couldn't get us up for love nor money.




The ONLY person who would take the role of crateaker manager would be Eric Black and as many don't rate him at all as a coach he'd be she ite as manager.


Changing manager now will achieve NOTHING.

AAAAAAaahhhhhhhhhhhhh FFS k-bek. I paid £20.00 fot that tonight. I didn't get paid to watch it. FFS the stewards nearly caused a riot where I was.

Get me the stat to show the last time we lost 7-0 at home in a cup game or our relevant league. Then find me the stat to back the board in not sacking the manager as I really can't be ar5ed in backing the post up.

Fair play to Steve Bruce. The red devil in him has won. Sacrifice your integrity or walk away with a £2.5million payoff when you get the bullet.

Count yourself lucky tonight we didn't have the Blues crowd pre-premiership at the ground tonight as you may well have faced the sack & found yourself having to pay :o for a game next season. Because the passion in most of us fans walked away tonight from the ground early. BTW your fellow stewards suck. KB will be having a letter from me tomorrow.

It'll lift the team and he will show them pasion which Bruce just cannot do. If we stick with him he will drag our club down without a shadow of a doubt and if he does by a remote not gonna happen chance do we keep him??? He is rubbish start thinking of whats best for the club not Bruce.

The joke was the muppet standing gurning at his team losing 7-0 with not a remote idea of how to remedy it but silly me its not his fault its the injuries we have picked up over the last 18 months.

No I am not happy to acept relegation but exactly how will sacking Bruce guarrantee we avoid it? Considering Black is the most likely candidate for caretaker?

We're she ite because we dont' have the necesary quality to be anywhere but the bottom 3.

2 seasons ago we had the basis of a very good team. THE BASIS. What did our board do? Decide they'd done enough and we didn't need anyone else.

Without real investment in the team we will always struggle. It's our lack of quality throughout the squad that has seen u8s suffer this season. Bruce's mistakes and crap decisions wouldn't have such an impact if we had the players to cope with the injuries in the first place.

agree with you it proabaly wont

but staying as we are sre as hell aint going to keep us up.
like you dont want black as manager, but getting rid of bruce may release pressure or restraints none of us know about within the club, and get the club playing better football

of course it proabably wont, but i am willing to take that chance now because at the end of the day i dont want bruce as manager of my club any more and the quicker he goes the longer we have to get somebody else even if it is not until the summer, but we dont waste the month of May getting over it, June with the World Cup and in sacking or starting to replace him in July

If Steve Bruce STAYS mate....that is EXACTLY what will happen....

This HAS to be the FINAL and LAST STRAW ....surely to God

He must RESIGN but I suspect his stubborness,his FAT paycheck and pride won't let him

In that case Mr Sullivan and Mr Gold MUST do the right thing for the club RIGHT NOW.............SACK HIM PLEASE...............PLEASE............PLEASE...........PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP............(gets down on one's knees ) PLEASE
