David Gold Steve Quotations

Steve Bruce's job is not under threat. Right now I don't know of anyone who is any better . . . Steve Bruce is charged with getting City out of the relegation zone. We have got to battle our way out of this crisis and I'm still confident we will.

People keep dismissing tonight as unimportant; I don't and I know Steve doesn't. We have got to brush ourselves down and come out battling against United. We see it as important to the club to win these kind of games because they raise the spirit and right now we've got to say that one of our problems is confidence.

I've always felt that an Englishman should lead the national team because they would have a greater commitment and connection to the supporters. If they want to approach Steve I would not stand in their way. It would break my heart for Birmingham City but I would be very happy for Steve, who is a terrific, honest manager.
