Bruce receives players’ backing

CAMERON JEROME insisted Steve Bruce must remain as Birmingham manager if Carson Yeung completes his protracted takeover of the club.

Bruce held talks with the Hong Kong-based businessman after this rollercoaster victory and emerged to claim the meeting had been “very positive” before leaving St Andrews.

Yeung has declined to rubber-stamp Bruce’s new contract and has come under fire for his actions from the current Blues co-owner David Sullivan.
