Where's Bruce?

Ok, KK has had his say. DS has responded. What has Mr. Bruce have to say for himself. His silence is defeaning.

I've read the KK interview 3 times. It is wonderful. I wish I could thank him. He puts it all so perfectly, everything I've been feeling for a long time.

Steve Bruce, nice bloke as he is, is inept.

Our board are an embarassment, this is something I've been saying on here for a long time, they take us supporters for mugs. Well I'm no mug. I wish they would leave, surely there is someone out there who wants to buy the club. Then the Golds and Sullivan can walk away with a nice hefty profit, which is all they've ever wanted to do.

Yes they rescued our club and put in an initial investment, which they transferred into shares, so when they leave, they'll have made a nice profit. That's all they understand, they have no heart and no soul. KK that's why Blues have no heart and soul, cos those at the top only see balance sheets, they have no passion for Blues or anything else apart from their bank balances.

Do we have to be eternally grateful to the board for their initial rescue. I think it's time we started looking at what they've done lately, not what they did 12 years ago.

I say Bruce out and the Board out. Give us back our BLUES

With the board and himself agreeing to think things over for a couple of weeks, I'd guess he's on holiday.

I understand he has taken his mother away for a few days.

I think you're probably right.

This is what I've been waiting for, the reply from Bruce himself, he is in fact still in Birmingham, was at the ground earlier today.

As Sully has come out and said a few words!!.......thought its not him I'm interested in hearing from, as the main point to me KC was saying is it all stems down to Bruce and his staff, and the more he stays quiet over this shows there must be something.
I was always a Bruce fan someone that felt he could turn things around, but now after the last few days I tend to think he has to go for the sake of the club.

Players seem totally unsettled, worried about the fitness techniques they have been doing or it maybe not doing.

Come on Bruce if you have belief in yourself then stand up and reply to KC's remarks, and if not then do the decent thing and allow someone who can or wants to at least try and give 100% to the cause

If Bruce replies at this stage we get into a very unhelpful game of "insult tennis".

Whatever the outcomeof Bruces tenure he is right to keep silent at this stage and let things settle.

At the right time he should publicly acknowledge his role in the mistakes that led to relegation, as should others INCLUDING THE PLAYERS. That time is not immediately after KC's tirade that appears to blame every employee of the club apart from thaose that actually go on the pitch.

KC is merely putting the players' point of view across as their captain. Up until now the board and Bruce have been making comments blaming bad luck and the players - this is their right to reply.

You're right, perhaps things need to calm down a little, but I suspect that if they do the board will attempt to sweep this under the carpet. I don't agree Blues is simply a balance sheet to them - it's something they genuinely care about, but also something that gives them a lot of public exposure, which I think they actually crave. However, if they are running this club as a business, how can they justify using the old pals' act to keep Steve Bruce - however nice and committed (and I've no doubt he's committed 100 per cent) he might be.

On BRMB news yesterday they said that Bruce was very disappointed by KK's comments but would make no further comment (not precise words but something along those lines).

I would imagine that Bruce is spending most of his time with his lawyer making sure he gets as big a pay-off as possible

Its not about getting into a slanging match, but just giving a statement to either deny the remarks or confirm he has done wrong this season and admits he needs to look intoi things...........not a slanging game
