Sullivan backs under-fire Bruce

BIRMINGHAM co-owner David Sullivan has reiterated his support for manager Steve Bruce and insisted there would be “no knee-jerk reaction” over the club’s current precarious plight.

Birmingham are four points adrift of safety in the Premiership after Monday’s 2-1 home reversal by West Ham.

Bruce’s side have yet to win in the Premiership at St Andrews this season and have taken only one point out of a possible 21 but Sullivan still has faith in his manager.
