‘Ball in Bruce’s court’ on Brum future

BIRMINGHAM co-owner David Sullivan said manager Steve Bruce will meet the board on Friday to discuss his future following relegation and admitted “the ball is in Steve’s court”.

Portsmouth’s upturn in fortunes since January has seen them escape the Premiership relegation zone and their victory at Wigan on Saturday condemned Birmingham and West Brom to the Coca-Cola Championship along with Sunderland.

And Sullivan admits Bruce’s future is yet to be decided.
