Come on guys on know we all have opinions and have a right to speak on this board but why don't we put this Bruice out business on the back burner. The team is up there and need our support now like it used to be. Deal with all this other rubbish later if we don't get promoted. "United we stand" :Blues:

what u mean he has not spent anything hes spent about 13mill or around abouts. and at the end of the day newscatle could not get a good manager so what makes u think we could. Theres no one out there at the mo as all of the good ones are in jobs and none will leave success unless going to top 4. So u get rid of bruce and the best we could hope for is an ex player as a manager or a lower league one.

Bruce can't win no matter what with some people. They say he buys rubbish then say we have the best squad in the league (who bought them?) they say he can't motivate his player, then say we have great players who work their socks off (who motivates them to work?)

We aren't a premiership team/club anymore and some people need to realise this

Correct and whose faults that?

As for motivation look at Southend and Hull games?

The big difference between SB and all the pretend managers on here is that SB cant save the game before hand and reload if it goes t1ts up.

Here are some more subtle differences between him and us.

1, Steve Bruce is the current manager of the football team we all claim to love.

2, He is the only one being paid to make decisions regarding team selection, substitutions, tactics etc.

3, He is the only one who's future will be determined by those decisions.

4, He is the only one who has been tasked with bringing promotion back to the club.

5, He is the only one who has to defend under performing players to the chairman and board. IE, the people who forked out for them at his request and who subsequently pay their wages.

6, We will still be Birmingham City Football Club Supporters whatever its personnel. (Not sure if I've spelt that right)


Get behind the team, sing your hearts out, for the right colour shirts, slag off the other ones and lets all go, to the Champions Ball. :Blues:

and always remember,

Hindsight is perfect vision.

The annoying thing is he said he will have to learnt from his mistakes, has he??

1) he still has his favourites who he will play no matter what (ie johnson when larsson has been performing at a much higher level all season and bendtner to an extent.)

2) still not giving the youngsters a go (ie kilkenny) or players that he brought in have not been given a chance (ie danns), why buy them if theres no place for them in the team anyway.

3) Negative!! hes still the most negative manager around, negative tactcs negative team selections and hoof ball football (hence why we play the worst football in this division)

4) Bringing players back too quickly from injury. FORSSELL?? in my opinion hes played two reserve games and hes already back in the squas after a major injury.

5) he cannot motivate players look at southend and hull, he has not learnt from this remember liverpool if u cant motivate a team for an fa cup quarter-final when are you going to motivate players??

6) He has no idea how to play to players strengths (ie bendtner and jerome)
jerome wants ball through by kilkenny etc...not hoof ball
bendtner needs the ball to feet to run at defenders not hoof ball.

and finally.....
7) players out of position (ie N'gooty (centre back) at right back when kelly a proper right back was fit and danns how many games has he played centre mid?? compared to right or left wing, out of position.) and Johnson who is a defensive centre mid not a right winger playing instead of a proper right winger in larsson.

ohhhh.... and obviously accomodating players that cant get into their natural position so are played ahead of players that can play in that position naturally.
